A nurse in an outpatient clinic is assessing a client who is pregnant for unsafe behaviors during pregnancy. Which of the following findings indicates a need for further evaluation?

Rationale:
A. Encourage the client to watch television: Distracting the client with television is not effective during an acute panic attack. The client may be too anxious to focus, and this approach does not provide emotional support or safety.

B. Teach the client how to meditate: Teaching meditation is a long-term coping strategy and is not helpful during an acute panic attack, when the client requires immediate support and reassurance.

C. Administer a dose of atomoxetine to decrease anxiety: Atomoxetine is used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is not indicated for acute anxiety or panic attacks. Medications for acute panic typically include fast-acting benzodiazepines if prescribed.

D. Sit with the client to provide a sense of security: Providing a calm presence and sitting with the client helps reduce feelings of fear and isolation. This intervention offers immediate emotional support, reassurance, and a sense of safety during the panic episode.

Rationale:
A. Bradypnea: Clients with end-stage kidney disease are more likely to experience Kussmaul respirations (rapid, deep breathing) as the body attempts to compensate for metabolic acidosis by exhaling excess carbon dioxide. Bradypnea is not a typical finding in renal failure and would indicate a different respiratory issue.

B. Oliguria: As kidney function declines, urine output decreases because the kidneys lose their ability to filter and excrete waste products effectively. Oliguria, or markedly reduced urine output, is a hallmark of end-stage renal disease and contributes to fluid overload.

C. Anemia: The kidneys normally produce erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell production. In end-stage kidney disease, decreased erythropoietin production leads to anemia, resulting in fatigue, pallor, and decreased oxygen-carrying capacity.

D. Hypotension: Clients with kidney failure often experience hypertension rather than hypotension due to fluid retention and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Hypotension would be more characteristic of acute volume depletion, not chronic renal failure.

E. Edema: Impaired kidney function causes sodium and water retention, leading to fluid accumulation in tissues. Peripheral and periorbital edema are common manifestations of end-stage kidney disease due to reduced excretion of excess fluid.
