Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Rationale- the most appropriate action for a nurse to plan would be to increase the client's fluid intake. This action helps to restore the fluid volume in the body, thereby improving blood pressure levels.
Proper hydration is crucial in dehydrated and hypotensive clients.
B- The Valsalva maneuver is not typically recommended for hypotension as it can further decrease blood pressure.
C- Elevating the head of the bed is generally advised for clients with respiratory issues, not primarily for those with hypotension. Guided imagery can be a useful tool for relaxation but does not directly address the immediate physiological needs of dehydration and hypotension.
D- Relaxation does not solve the client’s issues

A. Cheyne-stokes respirations B. Substernal retractions during respirations C. Increased respirations D. Kussmaul respirations

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, which often includes severely slowed or stopped breathing.

CheyneStokes respirations (A) and Kussmaul respirations (D) are abnormal breathing patterns that are not indicative of effective naloxone treatment.
Substernal retractions (B) indicate difficulty breathing, which would not suggest that the naloxone has been effective.
Effective naloxone intervention is typically indicated by the restoration of normal breathing patterns in a person who has experienced opioid toxicity.

A-Cheyne stokes respirations is due to conditions such as stroke, brain injury

B-Substernal retraction occur in respiratory distress due to pulmonary conditions such as pneumonia D-Kussmaul breathing is found in diabetes ketoacidosis
