As mentioned in your reading “DRI: A Summary in Table Form”,  the research behind the DRI was used to develop three convenient, research-based tools that YOU can use to stay healthy.  Choose the one below that is NOT one of the research-based tools mentioned:

A 80-year-old patient is admitted to the hospital with dehydration and a possible urinary tract infection. The patient is given 750 mL normal saline via IV. The patient begins coughing and asks for the head of the bed to be raised so they can breathe better. The nurse assesses the patient and notices jugular vein distention and an increased respiratory rate. Based on this assessment data, the nurse interprets the findings as: 

A patient with congestive heart failure is receiving 0.9% Normal Saline at 100 mL/hr. Which assessment finding would require the nurse to contact the healthcare provider immediately?

A nurse caring for a patient who has been receiving diuretics suspects that the patient is experiencing a fluid volume deficit. Which assessment finding would the nurse note in a patient with this condition?

The nurse is caring for a patient with congestive heart failure. On assessment, the nurse notes that the patient has dyspnea; upon auscultation, the nurse hears crackles in the patient’s lungs. The nurse suspects fluid volume excess. What additional sign would the nurse expect to note if the patient was experiencing fluid volume excess?

7. The statistical symbol S2 is used to designate the: 

6. The mean of the data set is 20, and 2 SD is 4.0.  Which of the following values represents the range of results given this information?  

Explain the details of the Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise. For each, who was on each “side” of the debate? What did each “side” propose? What was the final outcome?This question is worth 15 points and partial credit will be given.
