The following three questions are related to the same clinical scenario (patient). A 63-years-old known chronic hypertensive patient was admitted to the ICU with a hypertensive crisis and a refractory blood pressure of 215/110 mm Hg.  A sodium nitroprusside intravenous drip was started.  After 6 hours of continuous infusion at 5mcg/kg/min, the patient became confused, tachycardic, tachypneic, and oliguric.  The nurse noticed unusual skin flushing and summoned the AGACNP to the bedside. Upon assessment, the practitioner corroborates the nurse’s findings and immediately suspects:

Evaluating the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve for an adult, the AGACNP understands that a decrease in hemoglobin affinity for oxygen shifts the curve to the right. Select the clinical data that best represents this shift.

Additional study findings revealed elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and an elevated pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP). Based on all diagnostic findings, physical exam, and the patient’s comorbidities, your best plan to treat this patient’s condition will include:

A 79-years-old patient was admitted to the ICU after presenting to the emergency department 12 hours before with shortness of breath, fever, tachycardia, and neglecting food intake for the past two days. Past significant history was positive for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In the ICU, the AGACNP assessed the patient and noted the patient to be confused, tachycardic, tachypneic, and with a productive cough. Chest radiography showed a localized right middle lobe diffuse infiltrate pattern. The AGACNP diagnostic impression is:

The following three questions are related to the same clinical scenario (patient) A 29-year-old patient was admitted to the Trauma Resuscitation Unit after a motor vehicle crash (MVC). On arrival, the patient presented with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 15, blood pressure (BP) of 126/82 mm Hg, a heart rate (HR) of 89 beats per minute, a respiratory rate (RR) of 19 breaths per minute, a temperature of 99.5°F, O2 Saturation at 96%, and a negative FAST. The patient complained of severe pain in the left lower extremity.  A large-bore catheter was placed in the antecubital, Lactated Ringer bolus was started, and the patient was taken to the radiology suite for x-rays. The x-rays of the left lower limb revealed a fracture of the femur and extravasation of fluid in the pelvic cavity.  The AGACNP identifies that this patient is most at risk of developing the following: 

The following two questions are related to the same clinical scenario (patient). A 60-years-old patient presented with respiratory distress, hypoxia, hypotension, fever, and altered mentation to the emergency department. The presumptive diagnosis of pneumonia was suspected.  The most appropriate interventions for this patient in order of priority are:

Costs to store a vehicle for a short period of time after an auto dealer fails to complete the contract to purchase the vehicle would be:

If a court orders rescission and restitution of a contract under which Nala sold a baseball card to Shirley in exchange for $450:

A contract voidable because of capacity may be canceled only by the party lacking capacity.

The age of majority to contract in all states is 21.
