Try the first five — pick an answer to see if you got it right.
1 Which finding in this client most strongly suggests deep vein thrombosis as the source of a pulmonary embolism?
Bilateral leg numbness
Left leg swelling and tenderness
Warm hands with brisk capillary refill
Productive cough with sputum
Explanation: The material identifies unilateral left leg swelling and tenderness as a key clue pointing to DVT as the likely source of the embolus.
2 Which assessment findings in this scenario are consistent with possible pulmonary embolism? Select all that apply.
Sudden shortness of breath
Pleuritic chest pain
Tachycardia
Oxygen saturation 88% on room air
Left leg swelling and tenderness
Explanation: The study material links sudden dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, tachycardia, hypoxemia, and left leg swelling/tenderness to PE with DVT as the probable source.
3 The concept map recommends CT pulmonary angiography to help confirm pulmonary embolism.
True
False
Explanation: True. The recommendation section specifically states that the provider should be notified to order CT pulmonary angiography to confirm PE.
4 What was the client’s oxygen saturation on room air at admission?
88%
93%
96%
99%
Explanation: The concept map states that the client’s SpO₂ was 88% on room air and improved after supplemental oxygen.
5 Which nursing hypothesis is the highest priority based on the client’s presentation?
