container arrives? ,f
A. Dextrose 5% in water ,f ,f ,f
Rationale: TPN contains high concentrations of certain nutrients. Infusing dextrose 5% in
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f

5. A nurse admits a client who has a concussion for overnight observation. Alert and oriented on admission, the
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f

,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
manifestation considered an early indication of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
A. bradycardia.
Rationale: Alterations in vital signs, including increased systolic pressure, widening pulsepressure
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
and bradycardia may be later signs of increased ICP. ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
B. ipsilateral pupil dilation. ,f ,f
Rationale: Ipsilateral or bilateral pupil dilation occurs when increasing intracranial pressure
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
displaces the brain against the optic nerve, but pupil dilation is not an early sign
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f

cerebrospinal fluid or brain matter within the skull exceeds the upper limits
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f

aspiration caused by a diminished gag reflex or difficulty swallowing. This nutritional ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
therapy will likely be prescribed. ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
C. Initiation of total parenteral nutrition
,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
Rationale: Total parenteral nutrition is initiated when the GI tract cannot be used for the ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f ,f
