NCLEX NCLEX-RN Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

(A) Compensated metabolic alkalosis would be reflected by the following: pH within normal limit (7.35–7.45), PCO2 > 45 mm Hg, HCO3 >26 mEq/L. (B) Respiratory acidosis would be reflected by the following: pH < 7.35, PCO2 > 45 mm Hg, HCO3 within normal limits (22–26 mEq/L). (C) Partially compensated metabolic alkalosis would be reflected by the following: pH > 7.45, PCO2 > 45 mm Hg, HCO3 > 26 mEq/L. (D) Combined respiratory and metabolicacidosis would be reflected by the following: pH < 7.35, PCO2 > 45 mm Hg, HCO3 < 22 mEq/L.

(A) The immediate treatment for drug overdose is removal of the drug from the stomach by either forced emesis or gastric lavage. The child’s unconscious state prohibits forced emesis. (B) Toxic amounts of salicylates directly affect the respiratory system, which could lead to respiratory failure. (C) The mother’s anxiety is probably so high that preventive guidance will be ineffective. (D) Respiratory assistance is not needed if the child’s respiratory function is unaltered.

(A) Mammograms are less effective than breast self-examination for the diagnosis of abnormalities in younger women, who have denser breast tissue. They are more effective forwomen older than 40. (B) Up to 15% of early-stage breast cancers are detected by physical examination; however, 95% are detected by women doing breast self-examination. (C) Ultrasound is used primarily to determine the location of cysts and to distinguish cysts from solid masses. (D) Monthly breast self-examination has been shown to be the most effective method for early detection of breast cancer. Approximately 95% of lumps are detected by women themselves.
