A nurse is caring for a client in the post-anesthesia unit who is experiencing malignant hyperthermia. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse anticipate administering?

Hypoglycemia is a potential complication of parenteral nutrition, especially if the infusion rate is too high or if the infusion is interrupted. The nurse should promptly address hypoglycemia by administering IV dextrose, which will help raise the client's blood glucose levels.
A. Discontinuing the infusion may be necessary if the cause of hypoglycemia is related to the parenteral nutrition solution or if the infusion rate needs adjustment. However, the immediate priority is to treat the hypoglycemia by providing a glucose source.
C. Warming the formula to room temperature is not relevant to treating hypoglycemia. Warming the formula might be done for other reasons, such as improving tolerance or reducing discomfort during administration.
D. Obtaining arterial blood gases is not indicated for treating hypoglycemia. Arterial blood gases are typically obtained to assess oxygenation and acid-base balance, not glucose levels.

PT measures the time it takes for blood to clot, and it is particularly relevant for clients taking warfarin because warfarin works by inhibiting the synthesis of certain clotting factors, including factors II, VII, IX, and X, which are involved in the PT pathway. Monitoring PT levels helps ensure that the client is receiving an appropriate dose of warfarin to prevent clot formation without causing excessive bleeding.
B. Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is a test used to assess iron levels in the blood and is unrelated to warfarin therapy.
C. WBC (White Blood Cell count) is a test used to assess the number of white blood cells in the blood and is unrelated to warfarin therapy.
D. PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time) is a test used to evaluate the intrinsic and common pathways of the coagulation cascade. It is used in the monitoring of heparin anticoagulant therapy. It is not typically used to monitor warfarin therapy
