A nurse is reviewing laboratory findings for three clients.

Which of the following laboratory results should the nurse expect for a client who has cirrhosis?

A.While it's important to document visitors and support persons, this information may not be considered crucial for the change-of-shift report unless it directly impacts the client's care or well-being.

B. The client received the prescribed antibiotic every 8 hours: This is important information, but it is typically documented in the medication administration record (MAR) and does not need to be included in the verbal report unless there were issues or changes related to the medication.

C. The client reports pain is reduced when positioned on his side: This is significant information as it informs the incoming nurse about the client's preferred position for pain management. It helps guide the nurse in providing comfort measures and appropriate positioning for the client. The client's mother died 4 years ago from breast cancer: This information may not be considered vital for the change-of-shift report unless it directly impacts the client's current condition or ongoing care.

D. The client's mother died 4 years ago from breast cancer: This information may not be considered vital for the change-of-shift report unless it directly impacts the client's current condition or ongoing care.

Budesonide is a corticosteroid inhaler used for long-term management of asthma. It helps to reduce inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms. Rinsing the mouth and gargling with water after using a corticosteroid inhaler can help reduce the risk of developing oral thrush, a fungal infection.

The other statements are incorrect and indicate a misunderstanding of the teaching: "I will take my inhaler treatment before each meal and at bedtime": Budesonide is not typically used before meals or at bedtime. It is usually taken on a regular schedule, as prescribed by the healthcare provider, to provide long-term control of asthma symptoms.

Using the inhaler before exercising is important because physical activity can trigger asthma symptoms in some individuals. By using the inhaler before exercise, the client can help prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms. However, this depends on the degree of difficulty of the exercise.

"I should use my inhaler when I have an asthma attack": Budesonide is not a rescue inhaler for immediate relief of asthma symptoms during an asthma attack. It is a controller medication meant to be used regularly to prevent symptoms from occurring.
