Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: A blood chemistry is a number of tests performed on blood serum. It can include LDH, CK, AST.
Rationale 2: The capillary blood glucose is used to determine or monitor blood glucose levels of clients at one point in time but not over time.
Rationale 3: The glycosylated hemoglobin or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a measurement of blood glucose that is bound to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin A1c is a reflection of how well blood glucose levels have been controlled.
Rationale 4: Serum electrolytes are often routinely ordered for any client admitted to a hospital as a screening test for electrolyte and acidbase imbalances. The most commonly ordered serum tests are for sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Assessing the data occurs in the pretest phase.
Rationale 2: Collecting the specimen comes during the intratest phase.
Rationale 3: Observing the client occurs in the post-test phase as follow-up after the testing.
Rationale 4: Preparing the client occurs in the pretest phase.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.
