A.

25 gtt/min

B.

1500 gtt/min

C.

50 gtt/min

D.

83 gtt/min

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. 25 gtt/min: Calculating the correct rate reveals that this is not the correct answer.

 

B. 1500 gtt/min: This rate is too high; the calculation does not support this answer.

 

C. 50 gtt/min: To calculate: (100 mL / 120 min) × 30 gtt/mL = 50 gtt/min.

 

D. 83 gtt/min: This is too high based on the calculation.

A. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) 55 seconds: This PTT value is within the therapeutic range for a client on heparin therapy.

B. Hematocrit 45%: This hematocrit value is within normal limits and is not concerning.

C. White blood cell count 8,000/mm³: A WBC count of 8,000/mm³ is within the normal range and does not require reporting.

D. Platelets 74,000/mm³: A low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) can indicate heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a potentially serious complication of heparin therapy.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Warm extremities. PAD typically leads to cold extremities due to poor blood flow.

B. Intermittent claudication. Intermittent claudication, or muscle pain during exercise, is a classic symptom of PAD caused by limited blood supply to the muscles.

C. Darkened skin color near extremities. Darkened skin is more common in venous insufficiency, not PAD. PAD can cause pale or bluish skin.
