> < Patient Data The nurse begins to analyze the patient’s assessment data to determine how the patient’s symptoms are related to her diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. History and Physical ~ Laboratory Results For each assessment finding, click to indicate whether findings from the patient’s assessment are associated with Cardiovascular System Effects, Dehydration, or are Unrelated to Cardiovascular System or Dehydration. Select a tab to see patient information Each row must have at least one, but may have more than one, r p option selected ' Unrelated to Assessment Finding g;;f;::’a;#:::sr Dehydration Cag(;:::ranst;b:‘lar Dehydration Potassium of 2.9 mEq/L (VI | Q9 = Cachexia Q= Pulse of 40 bpm (V] Blood pressure of 74/40 mmHg Q= Q= Creatinine of 3 mg/dL 9= Lanugo 9 n BUN of 30 mg/dL Q= W That's right! Rationale: Symptoms of dehydration for this patient would include elevated kidney function (BUN and creatinine). Hypokalemia (potassium of 2.9 mEg/L) and hypotension (blood pressure of 74/40 mmHg) are associated with cardiovascular effects because a low potassium level can cause cardiac arrhythmias, and the low blood pressure can cause decreased cardiac output. The hypokalemia and hypotension are also symptoms that are associated with dehydration as a result of fluid volume deficit. Bradycardia (heart rate of 40 bpm) is associated with cardiovascular effects and is not a symptom of dehydration. Cachexia refers to a thin and emaciated patient with muscle wasting, and this is associated with malnutrition. Lanugo is the fine, downy hair on the body that develops as a result of hypothermia, which is caused by malnutrition.
