Question 4 of 5
Nursing Diagnosis Categories include all, except
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nursing diagnoses, per NANDA International, categorize patient conditions into specific types. 'Actual' diagnoses reflect current problems, like 'Acute Pain.' 'Risk' diagnoses indicate potential issues, such as 'Risk for Infection.' 'Possible' diagnoses suggest conditions needing more data, like 'Possible Anxiety.' 'Syndrome' and 'Wellness' are also recognized categories. 'Factual' isn't a standard term in this context; it's too vague and doesn't fit the diagnostic framework. These categories help nurses systematically identify and address health issues, ensuring care plans are precise and tailored. Excluding 'Factual' maintains the specificity required for effective nursing interventions.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is considered as an indication for administering serum albumin?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Serum albumin maintains oncotic pressure, pulling fluid into blood vessels to prevent edema in conditions like hypoalbuminemia (e.g., liver failure). It doesn't directly affect clotting (fibrinogen's role), white blood cell formation (bone marrow), or red blood cell production (erythropoietin). Nurses administer it to correct fluid shifts, monitoring for overload, ensuring vascular stability critical for tissue perfusion and oxygenation.
