A nurse is caring for a client with myasthenia gravis who is exhibiting signs of cholinergic crisis. Which medication does the nurse ensure is available to treat this crisis?

Choice A Reason: Encouraging the client to cough and deep breathe every two hours, with her neck in a flexed position, is not a priority for a client after a total thyroidectomy, as it may increase the risk of bleeding or damage to the surgical site.

Choice B Reason: Maintaining the client in a Fowler's position, with head neutral supported by pillows, is a priority for a client after a total thyroidectomy, as it helps to reduce swelling and edema, prevent airway obstruction, and promote venous drainage.

Choice C Reason: Maintaining the client in a supine position, with sandbags placed on either side of her head and neck, is not a priority for a client after a total thyroidectomy, as it may impair breathing and circulation, increase pressure on the surgical site, and cause neck stiffness.

Choice D Reason: Encouraging the client to turn head side to side, to promote drainage of oral secretions, is not a priority for a client after a total thyroidectomy, as it may cause pain and discomfort, disrupt the sutures or drains, and increase the risk of infection.

Choice A Reason: Encouraging deep-breathing exercises is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may not reduce fatigue and may increase respiratory effort.

Choice B Reason: Providing a relaxing warm bath is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may worsen fatigue and increase the risk of heat intolerance and dehydration.

Choice C Reason: Scheduling periods of rest in between activities is the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it helps to conserve energy, prevent exhaustion, and promote recovery.

Choice D Reason: Administering multivitamins is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may not improve fatigue and may cause adverse effects or interactions with other medications.
