Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Crystalloids are fluids that are crystal clearyou can see through them. Colloids have more solvents in them. Crystalloids include most standard IV solutions. Colloids include blood products and albumen. Normal saline and lactated Ringer's solution are isotonic. D5W is physiologically hypotonic. The nurse should choose normal saline.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An invasive device within an artery can disrupt arterial blood flow to the distal tissues. The nurse should notify the provider so the arterial line can be moved, or possibly discontinued. Warm, moist heat will not increase perfusion that is disrupted mechanically. Elevating the extremity will decrease perfusion further. The nurse should not disconnect the device.
