, all of the above
4. The nurse checks the feeding tube placement to prevent

Over-feeding
Bleeding
Cramping
5. When providing education regarding the use of proton pump inhibitors,
which statement by the client shows understanding of the teaching?

, Activity
8. Describe how skin integrity is related to thermoregulation in the context of
burn injuries.
Skin integrity has no significant effect on thermoregulation.
Skin integrity is crucial for thermoregulation because it helps to
retain heat and regulate body temperature.
Skin integrity only affects hydration levels, not temperature regulation.
Skin integrity is important for nutrient absorption, not
thermoregulation.
9. Describe the significance of administering intravenous hydrocortisone in the
management of an Addisonian crisis.
Intravenous hydrocortisone is used to treat infections that may arise
during an Addisonian crisis.
Intravenous hydrocortisone provides immediate pain relief in acute
situations.
Intravenous hydrocortisone helps to lower blood pressure during a
crisis.
Intravenous hydrocortisone is crucial because it replaces the

for managing the body's stress response.
10. In a scenario where a patient presents with fever, headache, and neck
stiffness, what should be the immediate nursing priority in suspecting

, Provide pain relief and monitor vital signs only.
11. Which laboratory tests are commonly ordered for patients suspected of
having renal calculi?
Blood glucose and cholesterol levels
