A nurse is assessing a client who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Choice A rationale:

Clustering nursing care activities minimizes disruptions to the client, reduces fatigue, and allows for periods of rest in between interventions.

Choice B rationale:

Hyperoxygenating the client before suctioning helps maintain adequate oxygenation and prevents hypoxia during the suctioning procedure.

Choice C rationale:

Keeping the room well lit is not necessary for a client on mechanical ventilation and can actually disturb their rest.

Choice D rationale:

Maintaining a specific PaCO2 level might be important for some clients, but this is not a general action applicable to all mechanically ventilated clients.

Choice A rationale:

Clients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often benefit from maintaining control over their daily activities and schedules. Allowing the client autonomy in scheduling activities can help them manage their symptoms while feeling in control.

Choice B rationale:

Antipsychotic medications are not the first-line treatment for OCD, and their use would depend on the presence of other coexisting conditions.

Choice C rationale:

Providing ample time for rituals may inadvertently reinforce the compulsive behaviors associated with OCD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention is the recommended treatment for OCD.

Choice D rationale:

Implosion therapy, also known as flooding, exposes the client to anxiety-provoking stimuli in a controlled and safe environment. However, it is not typically the first-line treatment for OCD and requires careful implementation under the guidance of a mental health professional.
