CCRN-Adult Exam Dumps : CCRN (Adult) - Direct Care Eligibility Pathway

Lorazepam (Ativan) is most appropriate to administer in a patient who has smoked crack cocaine and is agitated, particularly after a generalized seizure. Benzodiazepines like lorazepam help to manage agitation and seizure activity associated with cocaine toxicity by providing sedative and anticonvulsant effects.References: = CCRN Exam Handbook, page 53

For postural drainage of the right lower lobe, the patient should be positioned on their left side in the Trendelenburg position. This positioning utilizes gravity to facilitate the drainage of secretions from the right lower lobe of the lungs. In the Trendelenburg position, the body is laid flat on the back with the feet higher than the head, which helps drain the lower lobes effectively.References: = CCRN Exam Handbook, page 22

The signs and symptoms described in the patient post-bariatric surgery, including anxiety, restlessness, increased abdominal pain, and subcutaneous crepitus over the neck, suggest a potential anastomotic leak, which is a surgical emergency. Given the vital signs indicating possible sepsis or shock (elevated heart rate, increased respiratory rate, and fever), immediate surgical intervention is likely required to repair the leak and prevent further complications.
