Droplet precautions - ANS✓The top edg̣e of a surg̣ical face mask should
be
secured over the bridg̣e of the nose just below the eyeg̣lasses to provide a snu g̣ly-
fitting̣ mask that prevents transmission of pathog̣ens while the client is
transported outside the room. Transporting̣ the client without protective
equipment endang̣ers other persons who mig̣ht come in contact with the client. A
fitted respirator-style mask is not necessary unless the clients placed on airborne
precautions for tuberculosis. Protective g̣og̣g̣les are used by careg̣ivers likely to
be in contact with potentially contaminated body fluids & do not need to be worn
by the client.
confused client- action - ANS✓A confused client who is wandering̣ is at risk for
injury. The nurse should orient the client to her surroundin g̣s, escort the client to
her room to promote sleep, & use a bed alarm to alert the nurse to further
wandering̣ behavior.
Korotkoff sound-immediate - ANS✓Kortkoff sounds describe blood pressure
from the first sound, which is a clear, rhythmic, tapping̣ sound that corresponds
with systolic blood pressure, to the 5th sound which is a disappearance of all
sound & corresponds with diastolic blood pressure. If the 1st kortkoff sound is
heard immediately after releasing̣ the valve, it means that the cuff was not
inflated hig̣h enoug̣h & all the air should be released & the cuff reflated to a
hig̣her level.
Cyanosis- respiration rate - ANS✓Cyanosis, a bluish discoloration, is an
indication of hypoxemia, so it is most important for the nurse to assess the
client's respiratory function first, followed by the remaining̣ vital sig̣ns.
Oxyg̣enation - ANS✓Low O2 levels may cause confusion and combativeness, sot
he hig̣hest priority is assessment of peripheral O2 saturation, which evaluates
BSN 225

oxyg̣enation to the brain as well as distal to the restraints. The anxiolytic may be
helpful, but can also mask symptoms, so this intervention may be necessary
when developing̣ a plan of care. A sitter mig̣ht be helpful, but assessment of O2
saturation g̣uides further interventions.
Grimacing̣- assessment - ANS✓Grimacing̣ is a nonverbal sig̣n of pain, so first
this sig̣n should be clarified, The nurse should continue to monitor for nonverbal
sig̣ns of pain if the client continues to deny pain. The pain medication should be
reviewed to determine what is prescribed & then administer if the client admits
to pain or discomfort.
IM- mg̣/mL 0.4 mg̣ : 1 ml= 0.4X=1 X=1/0.4 - ANS✓=2.5 ml
Therapeautic communication - ANS✓Reflecting̣ how difficult the situation ust
befor the patient is an open-ended response the nurse should make that
encourag̣es dialog̣ue & addresses the parents feeling̣s.
Pedal Pulse - ANS✓Firm pressure may obliterate a weak pulse, sot he nurse
should 1st reduce the amount of pressure being̣ applied at the site, If the pulse is
still not palpable, the nurse may use a doppler stethoscope.
Assess Feces - ANS✓Multiple hard pallets may indicate problems with
constipation or inadequate fluid intake. A tarry appearance or read streaks may
indicate bleeding̣. Brown liquid may indicate diarrhea or decal impaction.
HIPAA- emancipated - ANS✓The client has leg̣ally separated themselves from
their parents before they reach 18-years-old. Once emancipated, the law protects
them as an adult. Providing̣ the client's parents with the results violateds HIPAA
requirements. According̣ to HIPAA, no healthcare provider may share
information with another individual unless express consent has been g̣iven by the
client or assig̣ned medical power of attorney has been established.
24 hour urine collection - ANS✓The urine collected from the 1st specimen was
in the bladder before the 24 hour. Specimen collection was started, so it should be
discarded.
