discharge one week from now. The nurse would assign the highest priority to
teaching strategies for...
A. Managing dysreflexic episodes
B. transferring in and out of automobiles
C. maintaining bowel and bladder elimination
D. creating alternatives for sexual expression - -C. Since it is a complete
transection injury it will never get better. Maintaining bowel and bladder
elimination is priority. Dysreflexia is not of concern because that only occurs
when the injury is above T6.

C. The client has socially isolated themselves because of their appearance

B. IV administration of vasopressors
C. IV administration of hydrocortisone

body too long to make steroids. Next give fluids before giving vasopressors.

be ordered for this client? Select all that apply.

B. Encourage coughing and deep breathing
, C. Give small, frequent, high-calorie meals

E. Give hydromorphone IV as prescribed for pain - -A, B, and E. Eating will
cause release of digestive enzymes thus more pain so don't want them to
eat. TCBD is good for any patient. They will likely want to be in fetal position,
there's no benefit of keeping them flat. Hydromorphone will help treat the
pain.

the patient for which complications of this type of tumor? Select all that
apply.
A. Flatulence
B. Peritonitis
C. Hemorrhage
D. Fistula formation

are more GI disorders, no relation to obstruction. perforation if tumor
stretches out bowel wall, hemorrhage if tumor rupture through, fistula
formation and adhesions when tissue tries to heal itself, and peritonitis if
leakage of gastric contents.

injury. Which clinical manifestation indicates the resolution of spinal shock?
A. return of reflex activity
B. normalization of the pupillary reflex
C. return of bowel and bladder continence
D. tingling in the extremities below the lesion - -A. Spinal shock is a flaccid
paralysis, pupillary reflex should not be affected, we don't know if bowel or
bladder function was ever lost. Return of spinal reflexes shows that this is
better. Tingling may occur during the spinal shock, not necessarily indicative
it is better.

adrenalectomy is the highest priority and requires rapid action by the nurse?

D. Blood pressure is 86/50 mmHg - -D. this could mean patient is going into
hypovolemic shock or hemorrhaging, abnormal it would be so low after
receiving fluids in surgery. Pain after surgery is expected and high BG is
likely due to stress response. Crackles could be due to immobility and can be
cleared by TCDB.
