A nurse is monitoring a client who has just had a thoracentesis to remove pleural fluid. Which of the following clinical manifestations should indicate to the nurse the client is experiencing a complication and the provider should be notified immediately?

Choice A reason: Keeping the television on at all times can contribute to overstimulation and confusion for clients with Alzheimer's disease. It is better to have the television on at specific times and choose calming, familiar programs.

Choice B reason: Hanging abstract pictures on the walls can be confusing and disorienting for clients with Alzheimer's disease. Simple, familiar images or family photographs are more helpful in creating a comforting environment.

Choice C reason: The correct answer is c because keeping familiar personal items in the client's room can provide a sense of security and comfort. Familiar objects can help reduce confusion and anxiety in clients with Alzheimer's disease.

Choice D reason: While adequate lighting is important, bright lighting can sometimes cause discomfort or glare. It is better to have soft, consistent lighting that helps the client feel safe and oriented without causing overstimulation.

Choice A reason: While a thallium scan can provide information about the heart's functional capacity, it is more specifically used to detect areas of the heart muscle that are not receiving adequate blood supply.

Choice B reason: A thallium scan does not identify heart rhythm disturbances. This is typically evaluated with an electrocardiogram (ECG) or Holter monitor.

Choice C reason: The size of the chambers of the heart is usually assessed through echocardiography or other imaging techniques, not a thallium scan.

Choice D reason: The correct answer is d because a thallium scan detects damage to the heart muscle by identifying areas with reduced blood flow, which may indicate ischemia or previous infarction.
