Which way should the bevel be facing when entering in the arm?
-
Downward
-
Sideways
-
Upwards
-
At a 90 degree angle
Correct Answer
A. UpwardsExplanation
When entering in the arm, the bevel should be facing upwards.

-
Sodium Citracal
-
Sodium Chloride
-
Sodium Citrate
-

If a patient is on an aspirin regimen, what would be most affected?
-
Clotting agent in tube to not work most of the time
-
Clotting time
-
Oncology results and time
-
DOE documentation time
Correct Answer
A. Clotting timeExplanation
If a patient is on an aspirin regimen, their clotting time would be most affected. Aspirin is a blood-thinning medication that inhibits the aggregation of platelets, which are responsible for clot formation. Therefore, the clotting time would be prolonged in patients taking aspirin regularly, as it takes longer for their blood to clot. This can have implications for surgery or any situation where clotting is necessary to prevent excessive bleeding.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Abnormally high blood sugar levelsExplanation
Abnormally high blood sugar levels, also known as hyperglycemia, occur when there is an excessive amount of glucose in the bloodstream. This can happen due to various reasons such as insufficient insulin production, insulin resistance, or certain medical conditions. Hyperglycemia can lead to symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. If left untreated, it can cause serious complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis.
