Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E

Nausea, muscle spasms, and disorientation are signs of thiocyanate poisoning, which can occur if the infusion is longer than 72 hours. Confusion, dizziness, and tachycardia are adverse reactions that the nurse should report immediately to the healthcare provider. Gastrointestinal bleeding is not an adverse effect of this medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Colloids are proteins or other large molecules that stay suspended in the blood for long periods because they are too large to easily cross membranes. They draw water molecules from the cells and tissues into the blood vessels through their ability to increase plasma oncotic pressure. Crystalloids are intravenous (IV) solutions that contain electrolytes, not proteins, in concentrations resembling those of plasma. They are used to replace lost fluids and promote urine output. Albumin 5 does not act on the kidneys. Albumin 5 is not a concentrated saline solution.
