The nurse notes documentation that a client is exhibiting
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



Cheyne-Stokes respirations. On assessment of the client, the i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



nurse should expect to note which finding?
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-

A Spanish-speaking client arrives at the triage desk in the
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



emergency department and states to the nurse that an i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



interpreter is needed. Which is the best action for the nurse to i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



take? i.-




1. Have one of the client's family members interpret.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




2. Have the Spanish-speaking triage receptionist interpret.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




3. Page an interpreter from the hospital's interpreter services.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




4. Obtain a Spanish-English dictionary and attempt to triage the
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




client. 3. Page an interpreter from the hospital's interpreter
i.-i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



services.


The best action is to have a professional hospital-based
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



interpreter translate for the client. English-speaking family i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



members may not appropriately understand what is asked ofi.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



them and may paraphrase what the client is actually saying.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



Also, client confidentiality as well as accurate information may
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



be compromised when a family member or a non-health care
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



provider acts as interpreter. i.- i.- i.-

,The nurse is performing a neurological assessment on a client
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



and notes a positive Romberg's test. The nurse makes this
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



determination based on which observation? i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




1. An involuntary rhythmic, rapid, twitching of the eyeballs
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




2. A dorsiflexion of the great toe with fanning of the other toes
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




3. A significant sway when the client stands erect with feet
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



together, arms at the side, and the eyes closed i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




4. A lack of normal sense of position when the client is unable
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




to return extended fingers to a point of reference
i.- i.- 3. A i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-i.- i.- i.- i.-

A client with Crohn's disease is at risk for hypocalcemia. The
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



normal serum calcium level is 9 to 10.5 mg/dL (2.25 to 2.75
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



mmol/L). A serum calcium level lower than 9 mg/dL (2.25
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



mmol/L) indicates hypocalcemia. Electrocardiographic changes
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



that occur in a client with hypocalcemia include a prolonged QT
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



interval and prolonged ST segment. A shortened ST segment
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



and a widened T wave occur with hypercalcemia. ST depression
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



and prominent U waves occur with hypokalemia.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




The nurse reviews the electrolyte results of a client with chronic
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



kidney disease and notes that the potassium level is 5.7 mEq/L
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



(5.7 mmol/L). Which patterns would the nurse watch for on the
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-

, cardiac monitor as a result of the laboratory value? Select all
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



that apply.
i.- i.-




1. ST depression
i.- i.- i.-




2. Prominent U wave
i.- i.- i.- i.-




3. Tall peaked T waves
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




4. Prolonged ST segment
i.- i.- i.- i.-




5. Widened QRS complexes
i.- i.- i.- i.-i.- i.- 3. Tall peaked T waves
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




5. Widened QRS complexes
i.- i.- i.-




The client with chronic kidney disease is at risk for
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



hyperkalemia. The normal potassium level is 3.5 to 5.0 mEq/L i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



(3.5 to 5.0 mmol/L). A serum potassium level greater than 5.0
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



mEq/L (5.0 mmol/L) indicates hyperkalemia.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



Electrocardiographic changes associated with hyperkalemia i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



include flat P waves, prolonged PR intervals, widened QRS
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



complexes, and tall peaked T waves. ST depression and a i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



prominent U wave occurs in hypokalemia. A prolonged ST i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



segment occurs in hypocalcemia. i.- i.- i.-




The nurse is caring for a client with heart failure who is
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



receiving high doses of a diuretic. On assessment, the nurse
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



notes that the client has flat neck veins, generalized muscle
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
