A nurse is assisting a client who has irritable bowel syndrome with meal selections.

Which of the following foods should the nurse remind the client to include in her diet?

Explanation:

A nasal cannula is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen to a client. It consists of two prongs that are inserted into the client's nostrils and connected to an oxygen source. The nasal cannula is commonly used for low-flow oxygen delivery at a rate of 1 to 2 liters per minute (L/min).

The other options mentioned are not necessary supplies for the client upon discharge:

B- Petroleum jelly is not directly related to oxygen therapy and is not a required supply for the client. It is a common topical ointment used for various purposes such as moisturizing the skin or protecting the lips, but it is not specifically needed for oxygen administration.

C- An oxygen mask is an alternative device for oxygen delivery but is not typically used at a flow rate of 1 to 2 L/min. Oxygen masks are usually employed for higher flow rates or in specific clinical situations that require a different oxygen delivery method.

D- A reservoir bag is a component of some oxygen delivery systems, such as a non-rebreather mask or a bag-valve-mask device. However, at a flow rate of 1 to 2 L/min, a reservoir bag is not typically used. It is more commonly utilized in situations where higher oxygen concentrations or higher flow rates are required.

This step is part of the process when mixing NPH and regular insulin in a single syringe. After injecting air into the NPH insulin vial, you should inject an equal amount of air (in this case, 15 units) into the regular insulin vial to maintain pressure balance. This allows for easy withdrawal of the prescribed doses of each insulin type in the same syringe without causing a vacuum in the vials.

After injecting air into the NPH insulin vial (step 1), the nurse should proceed to inject air into the regular insulin vial (step 2) before withdrawing the insulin doses in the subsequent steps.

Verifying the dosage with another nurse is not necessary in this step, as it is done prior to drawing up the insulin. However, it is good practice to have another nurse double-check the dosage before administration.

Injecting air into the regular insulin vial is not required at this stage. It is only necessary when withdrawing the regular insulin dose.

Placing the cap over the needle should be done after withdrawing the desired dose of insulin and before administering it to the client for safety and to prevent needlestick injuries.

The correct sequence when mixing NPH and regular insulin in a single syringe is as follows:

1. Inject air into the NPH insulin vial (in this case, 10 units of air).
2. Inject air into the regular insulin vial (in this case, 15 units of air).
3. Withdraw the prescribed dose of NPH insulin (10 units) from the NPH vial.
4. Withdraw the prescribed dose of regular insulin (15 units) from the regular insulin vial.

So, after injecting air into the NPH insulin vial (step 1), the nurse should proceed to inject air into the regular insulin vial (step 2) before withdrawing the insulin doses in the subsequent steps.
