A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has osteoporosis and a new prescription for alendronate. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Diminished bowel sounds are not typically indicative of fluid overload. They may suggest decreased gastrointestinal motility, but this finding alone does not specifically indicate fluid overload.

B. Bradycardia is not typically associated with fluid overload. Instead, tachycardia may occur as the body attempts to compensate for decreased cardiac output.

C. Hypotension may occur with fluid overload in severe cases, but it is not a consistent or specific finding. Other signs, such as bounding pulses, are more indicative of fluid overload.

D. Bounding pulses, or strong and forceful arterial pulses, can be a sign of fluid overload due to increased blood volume. This finding may be observed in clients receiving excessive enteral feedings or intravenous fluids.

A. Set up the sterile field 7.6 cm (3 in) below waist level - While it's important to maintain a sterile field, the specific height mentioned is not a standard requirement.

B. Hold the bottle of sterile solution with the palm over the label while pouring - This is

incorrect because it increases the risk of contaminating the solution by touching the label.

C. Place the sterile items within 1 cm (0.4 in) of the edge of the sterile border - This is the correct action as it ensures that sterile items are easily accessible without reaching over the sterile field, minimizing the risk of contamination.

D. Place the lid of a bottle of sterile solution within the sterile field - Placing the lid inside the sterile field increases the risk of contamination, as the lid is not considered sterile.
