A nurse is administering furosemide IV bolus to a client who has fluid volume excess.

The nurse should recognize which of the following findings as an indication that the medication has been effective?

B, C, and E. The nurse should include the following statements in the teaching:.

• • You should eat foods that are low in fat. A low-fat diet can help reduce the amount of digestive enzymes your pancreas releases and prevent further inflammation and pain.
  • Notify your provider if you experience vomiting or diarrhea. These symptoms can lead to dehydration and malnutrition, which can worsen your condition and require hospitalization.
  • You should eat foods high in protein. Protein can help your body heal and repair damaged tissues. It can also prevent muscle wasting and weight loss, which are common complications of chronic pancreatitis.

Choice A is wrong because caffeine can stimulate the pancreas and increase pain and inflammation. Choice D is wrong because alcohol can damage the pancreas and trigger more attacks. People with chronic pancreatitis should avoid alcohol completely.

The correct answer is choice D. Sit with the client to provide a sense of security.

A client who is experiencing a panic attack has a very high level of anxiety and a diminished ability to focus.

The nurse should stay with the client and remain calm and reassuring during the panic attack. This can help the client feel safe and supported, and reduce the intensity of the anxiety.

Choice A is wrong because atomoxetine is not an anti-anxiety medication, but a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It has no effect on reducing anxiety and can cause side effects such as insomnia, nausea, and increased blood pressure.

Choice B is wrong because encouraging the client to watch television is not a therapeutic intervention for a panic attack.

Watching television can increase the stimuli in the client’s environment, which can worsen the anxiety.

The nurse should maintain an environment with low stimulation for the client experiencing a panic attack. Dim lighting, few people, and minimal distractions can assist the nurse to decrease the client’s level of anxiety.

Choice C is wrong because teaching the client how to meditate is not appropriate during a panic attack.

Meditation is a relaxation technique that can be helpful for preventing or reducing anxiety, but it requires concentration and focus, which are impaired in a panic attack. The nurse should teach the client how to meditate when the client is calm and receptive, not when the client is in crisis.
