    Which of the following are sources of Phosphorus?

    • Yogurt

    • Tuna fish

    • Almonds

    • Peanuts

    • Rhubarb

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Tuna fish
    A. Almonds
    A. Peanuts
    Explanation
    Phosphorus is a mineral that is essential for various bodily functions, including the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Tuna fish, almonds, and peanuts are all good sources of phosphorus. Tuna fish is a particularly rich source of phosphorus, as it contains high levels of this mineral. Almonds and peanuts also contain significant amounts of phosphorus, making them beneficial for maintaining adequate levels of this essential mineral in the body.

    Which of the following electrolyte imbalances would you suspect in an alcoholic (multiple)?

    • Hypocalcemia

    • Hyponatremia

    • Hypomagnesia

    • Hypophosphatmia

    • Hypochloremia

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Hypomagnesia
    A. Hypophosphatmia
    Explanation
    Alcoholics are at risk for electrolyte imbalances due to poor nutrition and alcohol's effects on the body. Hypomagnesia and hypophosphatemia are commonly seen in alcoholics. Hypomagnesia can occur due to decreased intake, increased renal excretion, and impaired absorption in the gut. Hypophosphatemia can result from decreased intake, increased renal excretion, and alcohol-induced liver dysfunction. Hypocalcemia, hyponatremia, and hypochloremia are not specifically associated with alcoholism.

    Which of the following patients would you put on seizure precautions?

    • Hypercalcemia

    • Hypomagnesia

    • Hyponatremia

    • Hypermagnesia

    • Hypophosphatemia

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypophosphatemia
    Explanation
    Hypophosphatemia is a condition characterized by low levels of phosphate in the blood. Phosphate is essential for the proper functioning of nerve cells, muscles, and bones. Severe hypophosphatemia can lead to muscle weakness, neurological symptoms, and seizures. Therefore, patients with hypophosphatemia would be put on seizure precautions to monitor and prevent the occurrence of seizures.

    Explanation
    Milk, avocado, and broccoli are all sources of magnesium. Milk contains a good amount of magnesium, along with other essential nutrients. Avocado is also a good source of magnesium, as well as being rich in healthy fats. Broccoli is a vegetable that contains magnesium, along with other vitamins and minerals. Tuna fish and soy sauce, however, are not significant sources of magnesium.

    Explanation
    Raisins, avocado, milk, and potatoes are all sources of potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in maintaining proper bodily functions. Raisins are a good source of potassium, providing a significant amount in a small serving. Avocado is another potassium-rich food, containing even more potassium than bananas. Milk is also a source of potassium, along with other important nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Potatoes are a versatile vegetable that contains potassium, especially when consumed with the skin. Tuna fish, however, is not a significant source of potassium.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 0.45% NS
    A. Lactated ringers
    Explanation
    Hypertonic is 0.9% NS and above, anything above D5W or D5W mixed with 0.45 NS or above

    Isotonic is 0.45% NS, lactated ringers (never give a head trauma pt lactated ringers b/c it can cause cerebral edema)

    Hypotonic is 0.25% NS, D5W
