Options B and C would be appropriate if the client's blood pressure was excessively l ow (<100 mm Hg systolic) or if the client were exhibiting signs of hypotension such as dizziness. This prescribed dose is within the normal dosage range, as defined by the manufacturer; therefore, option D is not necessary The nurse is concerned about infection for a client after an esophagogastrostomy for esophageal cancer. Which actions should the nurse include in the client's plan of care? (Select all that apply.) A. Frequent oral care every 2 hours while awake. B. Use incentive spirometer every 2 hours. pg. 2 C. Empty contents from NG tube every 8 hours. D. Ambulate within 1 hour of return from the PACU. E. Limit visitors until postoperative day 2. - ANSWER -Correct Answer: A,B,C Rationale :One hour post op is too soon to ambulate for this client. Visitors help support the patie nt and are encouraged to visit. Oral care is necessary as the client will be NPO.

Bilateral arms D. Feet and legs - ANSWER -Correct Answer: B Rationale: Stooped posture results in the upper torso becoming the center of gravity for older persons.

Furthermore, the knees, hips, and elbows flex. The head and neck and feet and legs are not the center of gravity in the older adult. Although the arms comprise a part of the upper torso, they do not reflect the best and most complete answer.
