GRADED A+ NIGHTINGALE
In assessing a client diagnosed with primary aldosteronism, the nurse
expects the laboratory test results to indicate a decreased serum level of
which substance? (CORRECT ANSWER) potassium
Clients with primary aldosteronism exhibit a profound decline in serum
levels of potassium; hypokalemia; hypertension is the most prominent
and universal sign. The serum sodium level is normal or elevated,
depending on the amount of water resorbed with the sodium. Option B is
influenced by parathyroid hormone (PTH). Option D is not affected by
primary aldosteronism.
The clinic nurse is teaching a client with osteoarthritis to the knees
bilaterally about self-care. Which teaching points will the nurse include
in the client's plan of care? (Select all that apply.) (CORRECT
ANSWER) Apply heat packs to your knees as needed for pain.
Support your knees while you are in bed with a pillow or a rolled towel.
Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.
, Eat a balanced diet, including fish with Omega-3 fatty acids.
The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen is 4 g, the instruction
includes up to 6 g/per day. The best type of exercise does not place
additional stress on the knee joints, such as biking or swimming. Apply
heat to increase circulation and ice packs to decrease swelling. Support
to the knees can take the strain off of the joint. Getting rest will help
with coping with the pain of the disease. Eating a balanced diet may help
with weight loss; additional weight places strain on the joint.
A 58-year-old client who has no health problems asks the nurse about
receiving the pneumococcal vaccine. Which statement given by the
nurse would offer the client accurate information about this vaccine?
(CORRECT ANSWER) The immunization is administered once to older
adults or those at risk for illness.
It is usually recommended that persons older than 65 years and those
with a history of chronic illness should receive the vaccine once in their
lifetime. Some recommend receiving the vaccine at 50 years of age. The
influenza vaccine is given once a year. Although the vaccine might be
given to a person traveling overseas, that is not the main rationale for
administering the vaccine. The vaccine is usually given once in a
lifetime, but with immunosuppressed clients or clients with a history of
pneumonia, revaccination is sometimes required.
A client in the emergency department is bleeding profusely from a
gunshot wound to the abdomen. What action should the nurse
immediately? (CORRECT ANSWER) Maintain the client in a supine
position to reduce diaphragmatic pressure and visualize the wound.
