A nurse is caring for a client who has dysphagia. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following complications?

A. Pneumonia:
Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, can lead to aspiration, where food or liquids enter the airway and lungs instead of the stomach. This can result in pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. Clients with dysphagia are at an increased risk of developing pneumonia due to the aspiration of foreign material into the lungs.

B. Pressure Injury:
Pressure injuries (formerly known as pressure ulcers or bedsores) are caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, usually over bony prominences. Dysphagia itself is not directly related to pressure injuries. These injuries are more commonly associated with immobility and constant pressure on specific areas of the body.

C. Pulmonary Embolism:
Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of the pulmonary artery, usually by a blood clot that travels to the lungs from the legs or other parts of the body. While dysphagia is not directly associated with pulmonary embolism, conditions that cause immobility (such as being bedridden due to dysphagia) can contribute to the risk of developing blood clots.

D. Diarrhea:
Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing and is not directly related to diarrhea. Diarrhea is often associated with gastrointestinal issues, infections, or dietary factors. Monitoring for complications of dysphagia would primarily focus on respiratory issues, such as aspiration pneumonia.

A. 1 tbsp honey: Honey is a quick source of glucose and is an appropriate choice to raise blood sugar rapidly during hypoglycemia.

B. 5 hard candies: Hard candies containing sugar can provide a quick source of glucose and are suitable for treating hypoglycemia.

C. 240 mL regular sodamight provide 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrates, which could be too much and may lead to a rebound hypoglycemia after the initial correction of blood glucose levels.

D. 120 mL unsweetened fruit juice: Unsweetened fruit juice provides a quick source of glucose, which is essential for rapidly raising blood sugar levels in a hypoglycemic patient. The sugar in the juice is readily absorbed into the bloodstream, helping to counteract the effects of low blood sugar. It's important to choose unsweetened juice to avoid a sudden spike in blood sugar followed by another drop.

E. 120 mL milk: Milk contains lactose, a natural sugar, but it also contains protein and fat, which can slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. Therefore, it may not be as effective in rapidly raising blood sugar levels during an episode of hypoglycemia.
