A nurse inadvertently administered 160 mg of valsartan PO to a client who was scheduled to receive 80 mg. Which of the following actions is the priority for the nurse to take?

A. Incorrect. Encouraging the client to watch television might not provide the calming presence and support needed during a panic attack.

B. Correct. Sitting with the client and providing a sense of security can help them feel more grounded and supported during the panic attack.

C. Incorrect. Atomoxetine is not typically used to treat acute panic attacks. It's a medication used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

D. Incorrect. Teaching the client how to meditate might be beneficial in the long term, but during an acute panic attack, the client may not be receptive to learning new techniques.

A. Bleeding gums are common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes that make gums more sensitive and prone to bleeding. This is not typically a sign of a serious condition and can usually be managed with good oral hygiene.

B. Faintness or lightheadedness upon rising is common in pregnancy due to blood pressure changes. This can often be managed with lifestyle modifications such as rising slowly, staying hydrated, and avoiding prolonged standing.

C. Swelling of the face during pregnancy can be an early sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition characterized by high blood pressure and organ damage. This is a concerning symptom that requires immediate evaluation by a healthcare provider.

D. Urinary frequency is a common and usually benign symptom during pregnancy, especially in the first and third trimesters due to hormonal changes and pressure on the bladder. It does not typically require urgent reporting unless accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or burning during urination, which could indicate a urinary tract infection.
