A nurse is assisting with the admission of an adolescent client who is suspected to have bacterial meningitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

It is important for the client to remain still during the recording of a 12-lead ECG to obtain accurate and clear readings of the heart's electrical activity.

The orthopneic position (sitting upright and leaning forward) is typically used to help relieve shortness of breath in clients with respiratory distress and is not directly related to obtaining a 12-lead ECG.

Attaching a blood pressure cuff is not necessary for obtaining a 12-lead ECG, as it measures blood pressure and not the electrical activity of the heart.

A mild stinging sensation is not expected during the test. The electrodes used to record the ECG are typically adhesive and do not cause discomfort to the client

C, "You can begin collection of urine after discarding your first morning void."

A 24-hour creatinine clearance test is used to evaluate how well the kidneys are functioning by measuring the amount of creatinine in the blood and urine over a 24-hour period. During the test, the client is asked to discard their first morning void and then collect all urine for the next 24 hours.

Option A is incorrect because a protein-rich diet can affect the creatinine levels in the urine, which can result in inaccurate test results. Therefore, the nurse should advise the client to avoid a protein-rich diet during the collection period.

Option B is incorrect because blood glucose levels are not relevant to a 24-hour creatinine clearance test. Therefore, the nurse should not ask the client to record their blood glucose level each time they void.

Option D is incorrect because using an antiseptic towel to cleanse the perineal area can also affect the test results by introducing contaminants into the urine sample. Therefore, the nurse should advise the client to cleanse the perineal area with soap and water or an alcohol wipe.
