Answer: 1 co
Rationale: The nurse must decide which client should be seen on the initial rounds of the
co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co
day. The nurse must remember that the first client to be seen should be the
co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co
client who needs the attention of the nurse initially. A client with hepatitis A
co co co co co co co co co co co co co co
does experience diarrhea, but diarrhea for the last 24 hours could cause the
co co co co co co co co co co co co co
client to have a problem with dehydration and experience a state of fluid

volume deficit.

eggs should not receive the vaccine. Vaccines prepared from chicken or duck
co co co co co co co co co co co co
embryos are contraindicated in clients who are allergic to eggs.
