ATI Nurs 100 Fundamental Final Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and reports having shortness of breath and swelling in his lower extremities. Upon assessment, the nurse notes the client has crackles in his lungs and an elevated blood pressure. The nurse should suspect which of the following based on the client’s manifestations?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hypervolemia. The client's symptoms of shortness of breath, lower extremity swelling, crackles in the lungs, and elevated blood pressure are indicative of fluid volume overload, which is characteristic of hypervolemia in ESKD patients. The kidneys in ESKD are unable to properly regulate fluid balance, leading to fluid accumulation in the body. This excess fluid can result in symptoms like pulmonary congestion (crackles in lungs), edema (lower extremity swelling), and elevated blood pressure. Hyperkalemia (
A) is characterized by high potassium levels and would present with different symptoms. Hyponatremia (
B) is low sodium levels and would not typically cause crackles in the lungs or elevated blood pressure. Hypovolemia (
D) is low fluid volume and would not align with the client's symptoms.
