A client with a completed ischemic stroke has a blood pressure of 180/90 mmHg.
Which action should the nurse implement?
A. Position the head of the bed (HOB) flat.
B. Withhold intravenous fluids.
C. Administer a bolus of IV fluids.
D. Give an antihypertensive medication.
D
Most ischemic strokes occur during sleep when baseline blood pressure declines or
blood viscosity increases due to minimal fluid intake. Completed strokes usually
produce neurologic deficits within an hour, and the client's current elevated blood
pressure requires antihypertensive medication.
A client has been hospitalized with a femur fracture and is being treated with
traction. Which action by the nurse is the priority when caring for this client?
A. Assess neurovascular status.
B. Change the client's position.
C. Inspect the traction equipment.
D. Review pain medication orders.
A
The use of traction for long bone fractures reduces the potential for damage to the
surrounding tissues. Reports of increased pain may indicate circulatory compromise or
tissue damage (compartment syndrome). Assessing the client's neurovascular status is
the nurse's highest priority.

A. Give 20 mEq of potassium chloride.
B. Initiate continuous cardiac monitoring.
C. Arrange a consultation with the dietician.
D. Teach about the side effects of diuretics.
B
Hypokalemia (normal 3.5 to 5 mEq/L [3.5 to 5 mmol/L]) causes changes in myocardial
irritability and ECG waveform, so it is most important for the nurse to initiate continuous
cardiac monitoring to identify ventricular ectopy or other life-threatening dysrhythmias.
After cardiac monitoring is initiated, then the potassium chloride should be given so that
the effects of potassium replacement on the cardiac rhythm can be monitored.

increase the chance of dangerous dysrhythmias (normal potassium level is 3.5 to 5.5
mEq/L).
The registered nurse (RN) is assessing a male client who arrives at the clinic with
severe abdominal cramping, pain, tenesmus, and dehydration. The RN discovers
