Taken from the free sample set for CCRN-Adult.

Question 1

For a patient who sustained blunt renal trauma and a crush injury to the leg, monitoring should include observing for

  1. Option A:

    a shortened PR interval.


  2. Option B:

    tall peaked T waves.


  3. Option C:

    ST segment depression.


  4. Option D:

    a prolonged PR interval.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Crush injuries can lead to significant muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis, resulting in the release of intracellular potassium into the bloodstream, causing hyperkalemia. Tall peaked T waves are a classic sign of hyperkalemia, which needs to be closely monitored in these patients. References : = CCRN Exam Handbook and AACN ' s Certification Review Course materials.

Question 2

The water retention associated with SIADH is characterized by

  1. Option A:

    fluid intake greater than UO, weight gain, and increased urine osmolality and sodium.


  2. Option B:

    UO greater than fluid intake, extreme weight gain, and mild (2+) pitting edema.


  3. Option C:

    UO greater than fluid intake and severe (4+) pitting edema.


  4. Option D:

    fluid intake greater than UO, increased serum osmolality and sodium, and severe (4+) pitting edema.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is characterized by excessive release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), leading to water retention. This results in fluid intake being greater than urine output (UO), weight gain due to fluid retention, and concentrated urine with increased osmolality and sodium levels. SIADH does not typically present with severe pitting edema or increased serum osmolality and sodium. References : =
