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 A

Explanation

To calculate the rate at which the volumetric pump should be set to deliver the intravenous fluids, you need to divide the total volume of fluid (3,000 mL) by the total time in hours (24 hours).
This gives you 3,000 mL ÷ 24 hours = 125 mL/hr.
Therefore, the nurse should set the volumetric pump to deliver 125 mL of fluid per hour.

Choice B is incorrect because 130 mL/hr would result in a total of 3,120 mL over 24 hours.
Choice C is incorrect because 135 mL/hr would result in a total of 3,240 mL over 24 hours.
Choice D is incorrect because 140 mL/hr would result in a total of 3,360 mL over 24 hours.

A. The medication will increase the amount of mucus. B. The medication will prevent wheezing. C. The medication will open the airways. D. The medication will decrease coughing.

Correct Answer is ["B","C","D"]

Explanation

Albuterol is an inhaled medication that can quickly relieve the symptoms of asthma.
Classified as a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) and bronchodilator, albuterol relaxes the muscles in your airways that tighten during an asthma attack.

This causes the airways in the lung to increase in size, which allows air to move more freely through them1.
This can help prevent wheezing, open airways and decrease coughing.

Choice A: The medication will increase the amount of mucus is not a correct answer because albuterol does not increase the amount of mucus.
