Correct Answer is D

Explanation

If the new TPN solution is not available, the nurse should infuse dextrose 10% in water to prevent hypoglycemia.
Choice A is incorrect because disconnecting and flushing the IV access line would interrupt the client’s nutrition and could lead to hypoglycemia.
Choice B is incorrect because lactated Ringer’s solution does not provide the necessary glucose to prevent hypoglycemia.
Choice C is incorrect because decreasing the TPN infusion rate would not provide the necessary glucose to prevent hypoglycemia.

A. Antithrombotic. B. Diuretic. C. Anticonvulsant. D. Opioid analgesic.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

The nurse should ensure that the client is discharged with antithrombotic pharmacologic therapy.

Antithrombotic medications help prevent blood clots from forming and can reduce the risk of another ischemic stroke.
Choice B is wrong because diuretics are used to treat fluid retention and high blood pressure and are not typically used for stroke prevention.
Choice C is wrong because anticonvulsants are used to prevent seizures and are not typically used for stroke prevention.
Choice D is wrong because opioid analgesics are used to treat pain and are not typically used for stroke prevention.
