A nurse on an intensive care unit is planning care for a client who has increased intracranial pressure following a head injury. Which of the following IV medications should the nurse plan to administer?

A. Turning the client on their side helps prevent aspiration (inhaling fluid or vomit into the lungs) and promotes drainage of oral secretions, reducing the risk of airway obstruction during the seizure.
B. While assessing neurological status is important, it should be done after ensuring the client's safety during the seizure. This can be done after the seizure has stopped.
C. While obtaining vital signs is important for assessing the client's overall condition, it is not the immediate priority during an active seizure. Vital signs can be assessed once the seizure has stopped and the client's safety has been ensured.
D. Notifying the rapid response team may be necessary if the seizure persists beyond a certain duration (status epilepticus) or if there are complications. However, the first action should be to ensure the client's immediate safety by turning them onto their side to prevent aspiration.

A. Monitoring for occult blood in the stool is essential because long-term use of nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulceration. Occult blood in the stool may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be a serious complication of chronic NSAID use.
B. While NSAIDs like ibuprofen can affect renal function and increase the risk of kidney damage, they are not directly associated with alterations in blood glucose levels.
C. Ibuprofen use is not typically associated with alterations in serum calcium levels
D. While monitoring urine for white blood cells may be relevant in the context of renal injury, it is not as specific or sensitive as other tests such as urinalysis or renal function tests.
