Sample Clinical Questions

Review sample questions from this test before starting your timed session.

Sample Question #1Potassium electrolyte regulation, safe IV infusion rates, and ECG arrhythmia recognition

A client with acute renal failure presents with a serum potassium level of 6.8 mEq/L and tall, peaked T-waves on ECG. The physician orders 10% Calcium Gluconate IV. What is the primary therapeutic purpose of Calcium Gluconate in this emergency scenario?

ATo shift potassium ions from the extracellular to intracellular compartment

BTo promote potassium excretion through the renal tubules

CTo antagonize the cardiotoxic effects of hyperkalemia and stabilize the myocardial membrane

DTo bind intestinal potassium and facilitate fecal elimination

Clinical Takeaway:

Calcium Gluconate directly antagonizes the membrane excitability effects of hyperkalemia on cardiac tissue, raising the threshold potential and reducing the risk of fatal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation. It does not lower serum potassium levels; insulin with dextrose or beta-2 agonists are used to shift potassium intracellularly.

Sample Question #2Chest tube drainage monitoring, water-seal chamber assessment, and emergency pneumothorax interventions

A patient with a closed chest tube drainage system for pneumothorax displays continuous, vigorous bubbling in the water-seal chamber. How should the nurse interpret this finding?

AThe lung has fully re-expanded

BThis is a normal expected finding during expiration

CThere is an air leak in the chest tube system or pleural space

DThe suction control bottle pressure is set too high

Clinical Takeaway:

Continuous bubbling in the water-seal chamber indicates a persistent air leak, which may originate from the patient's pleural space or the drainage system. Intermittent bubbling can occur during coughing or expiration while a pneumothorax resolves. The water-seal chamber must be distinguished from a wet suction-control chamber.
