Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A BUN level of 16 mg/dL is within a normal range.

Choice B rationale:

A potassium level of 5.3 mEq/L is higher than the normal range (typically 3.5-5.0 mEq/L). Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and if the client's potassium level is already elevated, it should be withheld to prevent hyperkalemia.

Choice C rationale:

A sodium level of 142 mEq/L is within a normal range.

Choice D rationale:

An albumin level of 4 g/dL is within a normal range.

A. Morphine tablet B. Fentanyl transmucosa C. Lidocaine patch D. Naloxone IV

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Morphine tablet is not likely to provide rapid relief within 1 hour for moderate to severe pain.

Choice B rationale:

Fentanyl transmucosa, such as a fentanyl lozenge or transmucosal patch, is a strong opioid analgesic that can provide rapid relief for breakthrough pain.

Choice C rationale:

A lidocaine patch is typically used for localized pain relief and might not provide the desired level of relief for systemic pain.

Choice D rationale:

Naloxone IV is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose. It would not be appropriate to administer naloxone in this situation.
