Encourage high-fiber foods and monitor for gastrointestinal distress.
Monitor electrolyte levels and administer magnesium supplements
as prescribed.
Increase the patient's fluid intake and restrict sodium.
3. What is the definition of informed consent in nursing practice?

,4. A patient presents with muscle cramps and tingling in their fingers. If
hypocalcemia is diagnosed, what nursing intervention should be prioritized?
Encourage the patient to perform physical therapy exercises.
Monitor the patient's blood pressure.
Administer calcium supplements as prescribed.
Increase the patient's fluid intake.
5. Describe the potential causes of hypomagnesemia and how they affect the
body.
Hypomagnesemia is caused by excessive magnesium intake, resulting
in muscle spasms and seizures.
Hypomagnesemia can be caused by inadequate dietary intake,
gastrointestinal losses, or renal losses, leading to muscle weakness
and cardiac issues.
Hypomagnesemia is primarily caused by dehydration, leading to
increased blood pressure.
Hypomagnesemia results from high calcium levels, causing respiratory
distress.
6. A patient presents with shallow breathing and confusion. What condition
might they be experiencing, and what immediate nursing intervention should
be prioritized?
Respiratory alkalosis; administer oxygen therapy.
Respiratory acidosis; assist with ventilation support.
Respiratory acidosis; encourage deep breathing exercises.
Metabolic acidosis; provide intravenous fluids.
,7. What are the five levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in order from the
most basic to the highest level?
Physiological, Love/Belonging, Safety, Esteem, Self-Actualization
Esteem, Safety, Love/Belonging, Physiological, Self-Actualization
Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, Self-Actualization

8. Describe how advocacy in nursing can impact patient outcomes.

The principle of justice allows for preferential treatment of certain
patients based on their social status.
The principle of justice indicates that resources should be given to
those who are most vocal about their needs.
11. If a nursing assessment identifies multiple fall risk factors in an older adult,
what intervention should be prioritized to enhance patient safety?
Implementing fall prevention strategies
Focusing solely on medication management
Increasing physical activity without supervision
Ignoring the risk factors as they are common in older adults
12. Describe how hypoventilation leads to respiratory acidosis.
Hypoventilation decreases the elimination of carbon dioxide,
leading to increased carbonic acid in the blood.
Hypoventilation has no effect on blood pH levels.
Hypoventilation increases the elimination of carbon dioxide, reducing
acidity.
Hypoventilation increases oxygen levels, causing respiratory acidosis.
