Pathophysiology Readiness Check 2A
The 2nd OA Readiness Check is designed to give you additional practice with new assessmentstyle questions to help prepare for success on the OA. Thus, please try to mimic exam-like
conditions by taking the test in one <2 hr sitting without any study aids apart from your
whiteboard/scrap paper.
Note: Responses cannot be edited. You will be able to see the results and feedback after
submitting the test.
Correct 1/1 Points
Feedback: This is correct. In an acidotic state, there is an abundance of H+ ions, which
enter cells and force K+ out of the cells. The K+ ions are now in the bloodstream and
present as hyperkalemia even though the body amount of K+has not changed.
The nurse is providing care to a patient with metabolic acidosis. For which reason
does the nurse note a laboratory result indicating hyperkalemia? *
1.
The kidneys are inundated with H+ ions.
K+ ions force the H+ ions into cells.
H+ ions are filtered out of the blood by the kidneys.
The abundance of H+ ions moves into cells.

Correct 1/1 Points
Feedback: This is correct. A potassium ion increase in the blood leads to hyperkalemia.
Which condition is caused by an increase in the amount of potassium in the
blood? *
2.
Hypercalcemia
Hypocapnia
Hypotension
Hyperkalemia
Correct 1/1 Points
Feedback: This is correct. The client has developed metabolic alkalosis. In metabolic
alkalosis, the pH will be greater than 7.45 and the bicarbonate concentration will be
greater than 35 mEq/L.
An unconscious client is brought to the hospital. The client’s arterial blood gases
show a pH greater than 7.45 and a bicarbonate level of 36 mEq/L. Which acid–
base imbalance has the client developed? *
3.
Metabolic alkalosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis
Metabolic acidosis
Correct 1/1 Points
A client has hypertension and elevated serum calcium concentration. Which
condition is likely to occur in the client? *
4.
Osteomalacia
Platelet dysfunction

Feedback: This is correct. The client is at risk for developing osteopenia. Osteopenia
indicates low bone density and shows the presence of an elevated serum calcium
concentration.
Ventricular fibrillation
Osteopenia
Correct 1/1 Points
Feedback: This is correct. While administering IV potassium, the solution should always be
diluted. [Show Less]
