A nurse is caring for a patient who is about to start ibuprofen therapy for hip pain. What information should the nurse provide about ibuprofen?

Choice A rationale

Performing passive range of motion exercises on the right leg in Buck’s traction may not be appropriate. These exercises involve moving the joint without the patient’s muscles doing the work, which could disrupt the traction.

Choice B rationale

Isometric exercises involve contracting the muscles without moving the joints. While these exercises can be beneficial for maintaining muscle strength, they may not promote mobility.

Choice C rationale

Performing active range-of-motion exercises on the left leg can help promote mobility. These exercises involve the patient moving the joint through its full range of motion, which can help maintain joint flexibility and muscle strength.

Choice D rationale

Log rolling the patient every 2 hours may not be appropriate for a patient in Buck’s traction. This technique involves turning the patient as a unit to prevent twisting and protect the spine, which could disrupt the traction.

Choice A rationale

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) does not recover during the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury (AKI). Recovery of GFR typically occurs during the recovery phase.

Choice B rationale

During the oliguric phase of AKI, urine output is typically less than 400 mL per 24 hours.

Choice C rationale

Renal function is not reestablished during the oliguric phase of AKI. This typically occurs during the recovery phase.

Choice D rationale

Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels do not decrease during the oliguric phase of AKI. These levels typically increase due to decreased kidney function.
