Which of the following manifestations should the nurse include in the teaching?

Dry mucous membranes.

Polyuria.

Poria.

Bradycardia.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can cause an irregular or fast heartbeat 12.
Bradycardia refers to a slower-than-normal heart rate, which is the opposite of what can happen during hypoglycemia.
Choice A is not an answer because dry mucous membranes are not a common symptom of hypoglycemia.
Choice B is not an answer because polyuria, or excessive urination, is not a common symptom of hypoglycemia.
Choice C is not an answer because poria is a type of fungus and is not related to hypoglycemia.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The nurse should set the flow rate to deliver 40 gtts/min.
This can be calculated by multiplying the infusion rate (120 mL/hr) by the drop factor (60 gtt/mL) and then dividing by the number of minutes in an hour (60 min/hr): (120 mL/hr) * (60 gtt/mL) / (60 min/hr) = 120 gtt/min
Choice A is not the best answer because setting the flow rate to deliver 20 gtts/min would not provide the desired infusion rate of 120 mL/hr.
Choice B is not the best answer because setting the flow rate to deliver 30 gtts/min would not provide the desired infusion rate of 120 mL/hr.
Choice D is not the best answer because setting the flow rate to deliver 50 gtts/min would provide a higher infusion rate than desired.

A. "Don't you trust a female AP assigned to your care?". B. "I understand your request to have only male staff members attend to your care.". C. "It's not appropriate to make such a request. All staff members are trained to provide professional care regardless of gender.". D. "I'll arrange for a male AP to do your personal care since you asked for it.".

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

“I understand your request to have only male staff members attend to your care.” This response acknowledges the client’s request and shows that the nurse is willing to listen to his concerns.
Choice A is not the correct answer because it can be perceived as confrontational and may make the client feel uncomfortable.
Choice C is not the correct answer because it dismisses the client’s request and may make him feel unheard.
Choice D is not the correct answer because it implies that the nurse will immediately comply with the client’s request without further discussion or consideration of other options.
