Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Correct. The priority is to assess the client for any adverse effects of the medication, such as a drop in blood pressure, which can result in orthostatic hypotension.

B. Incorrect. Nasal congestion is not typically associated with an overdose of valsartan.

C. Incorrect. While obtaining laboratory results might be necessary, it is not the priority action in this situation.

D. Incorrect. Monitoring urine output is important, but assessing for potential complications related to the overdose takes precedence.

A. A client who is receiving heparin for deep-vein thrombosis B. A client who is 1 day postoperative following a vertebroplasty C. A client who has COPD and a respiratory rate of 44/min D. A client who has cancer and a sealed implant for radiation therapy

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Incorrect. A client receiving heparin for deep-vein thrombosis should not be discharged early.
B. Correct. This client is the most appropriate candidate for early discharge in anticipation of multiple client admissions. Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires only a short hospital stay. The client is likely stable at 1 day post-procedure and can be discharged with appropriate follow-up care.
C. Incorrect. A client with COPD and a respiratory rate of 44/min needs immediate attention, not early discharge.
D. Incorrect. This client is stable for discharge, as sealed radiation implants typically do not require hospitalization after a certain point, assuming they are stable and able to manage their care at home. Discharging this client can help free up resources for incoming patients, provided they have appropriate support at home.
