Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
If potassium levels are very high, the retention of sodium in exchange for potassium also leads to retention of water and a dilution of blood volume, which decreases potassium concentration. Dehydration is a lack of volume in the blood vessels, which can lead to dizziness. Fatigue is a symptom of anemia, which is associated with renal failure.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Anabolic steroids all have black box warnings as alerts to the potentially serious effects of liver tumors, hepatitis, and blood lipid level changes that might be associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease. As a result, the nurse should assess for jaundice that could be an early indication of liver dysfunction. Elevated BUN, blood glucose levels, and bradycardia are not commonly reported adverse effects.
