Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C,A,D,B

C. Discussing the issue privately with the UAP is the first step as it directly addresses the behavior, provides an opportunity for immediate feedback, and allows the UAP to explain their actions.

A. Noting the date and time of the behavior is important for documentation and future reference but follows the initial discussion to ensure accurate recording of events.

D. Planning for scheduled break times may prevent future occurrences by providing clear expectations and structure for the UAP's work schedule.

B. Evaluating the UAP for signs of improvement would be the last step after the above interventions have been implemented to assess their effectiveness and the UAP's adherence to the expected behavior.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Conversion of the PPD test from negative to positive indicates exposure to tuberculosis but does not contraindicate the administration of isoniazid. It may actually indicate the need for prophylactic treatment.

B. A history of intravenous drug abuse is not directly related to the administration of isoniazid. However, it may be important for assessing risk factors for tuberculosis transmission and adherence to treatment.

C. Isoniazid can cause hepatotoxicity, so it is essential to assess for pre-existing liver conditions such as hepatitis B before administering the medication. Hepatitis B may increase the risk of liver damage associated with isoniazid.

D. The length of time of exposure to tuberculosis is important for assessing the risk of infection and determining the need for prophylactic treatment but does not impact the administration of isoniazid.

A. Blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature. B. Leukocytes, neutrophils, and thyroxine. C. Serum potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. D. Erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. While monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature is important for overall health assessment, they are not specifically indicative of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
B. Leukocytes, neutrophils, and thyroxine are not directly related to renal function or the complications of ESRD.
C. Clients with ESRD are at risk for electrolyte imbalances, including hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia, so monitoring serum potassium, calcium, and phosphorus levels is crucial.
D. Monitoring erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels is important for assessing
anemia, which is common in ESRD, but it's not the most critical parameter to monitor compared to electrolyte imbalances.
