,A |26-year-old |client |has |been |admitted |with |suspected |hyponatremia |after |drinking |sevexral |
litres |of |tap |water |in |a |couple |of |hours. |What |would |the |nurse |assess |for?
Lethargy, |headache, |confusion
Apprehension, |seizures, |coma
When |treating |fluid |imbalances, |which |is |the |ultimate |goal |of |care?
-To |diagnose |and |correct |the |underlying |cause
the |nurse |is |caring |for |a |client |with |a |serum |sodium |level |of |110 |mmol/L. |Which |solution |will |
be |used |to |treat |this |condition?
-0.9% |sodium |chloride
Which |intravenous |solution |ordered |by |the |doctor |replaces |an |intracellular |fluid |volume |
deficit?
-isotonic
What |are |the |processes |required |to |move |large |particles |and |particles |with |electrical |charges |
across |membranes?
-Diffusion |and |active |transport
, A |nurse |is |scheduled |to |administer |a |potassium |supplement |to |a |client. |Which |priority |action |
should |the |nurse |take |prior |to |administering |the |drug?
-Check |the |client's |potassium |level |from |the |morning |labs.
The |nurse |is |caring |for |a |client |with |an |extracellular |fluid |volume |deficit. |The |nurse |is |aware |
that |which |compensatory |mechanism |is |initiated |in |the |presence |of |an |extracellular |fluid |
volume |deficit?
-Activation |of |the |renin-angiotensin-aldosterone |system
-The |nurse |is |caring |for |a |client |with |chronic |obstructive |pulmonary |disease |who |has |
polycythemia |(an |increased |number |of |RBCs). |What |is |the |most |likely |cause |of |this |finding?
-Significant |hypoxemia
Which |laboratory |value |is |most |important |for |the |nurse |to |report |to |the |doctor?
-Potassium |2.9 |mmol/
The |nurse |is |assisting |a |client |to |master |the |use |of |a |steroid |inhaler. |The |client |says, |"Can't |I |
take |this |in |a |pill |form |instead |of |an |inhaler?" |What |information |should |be |included |in |the |
nurse's |response?
Inhalers |produce |their |effect |locally, |thus |reducing |adverse |effects |of |the |steroid
