Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Administer scheduled pain medications is appropriate because providing comfort is a priority in end-of-life care. Administering scheduled pain medications helps alleviate any discomfort or pain the client may be experiencing.
B. Providing oral care every 6 hr may not be necessary in the end-of-life stage, as the client's ability to tolerate oral care may decrease, and excessive oral care may cause discomfort.
C. Administering liquids using a syringe may not be appropriate if the client is unable to swallow or if there are concerns about aspiration.
D. Whispering when talking to family members is not necessary; instead, the nurse should communicate in a calm and clear manner, adjusting the volume and tone as needed to accommodate the client's condition and preferences.

A. "I will have general anesthesia during the procedure." B. "I will lie flat for 6 hours following the procedure." C. "I will have a chest x-ray following the procedure." D. "I will breathe deeply through my nose during the procedure."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. General anesthesia is not typically used for thoracentesis, which is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia.
B. While it's important for the client to remain still during the procedure, lying flat for 6 hours following thoracentesis is unnecessary and may increase the risk of complications such as discomfort or respiratory compromise.
C. Having a chest x-ray following the procedure is essential to assess for any complications such as pneumothorax or hemothorax, and to ensure proper lung re-expansion.
D. During thoracentesis, the client is typically instructed to remain still and breathe normally.
Deep breathing through the nose is not specifically indicated during the procedure.
