,The nurse should determine that the priority hypothesis is decreased oxygenation
followed by decreased urine output. When using the airway, breathing, circulation
framework, the priority finding the nurse should address is the oxygen saturation
measurement of 92%. Impaired functioning of the intercostal muscles and nerves
of the diaphragm increases the risk of atelectasis and pneumonia for the client who
has a SCI as evidenced by oxygen saturation of 92%.
The nurse should analyze the cues and determine that the next priority finding to
address is the client's urine output. Urine output of 30 mL/hr or less for more than
2 hr requires assessment. When using the greatest risk framework, the nurse should
identify that the urine output should be addressed next. The nurse should recognize
the risk of autonomic dysreflexia from urinary retention and should observe the
client's abdominal distention, assess for bladder distention, and check the urinary
catheter tubing for obstruction.

client to rest before each meal. Clients who have multiple sclerosis often report
weakness and are easily fatigued.
"You should restrict foods that are high in vitamin D." is incorrect. The nurse
should instruct the client to maintain adequate vitamin D levels, because vitamin D
deficiency is a risk factor for multiple sclerosis.
