Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. A serum potassium level of 4.8 mEq/L is within the normal range and would not warrant withholding furosemide.
B. A serum sodium level of 140 mEq/L is within the normal range and would not warrant withholding furosemide.
C. An oxygen saturation of 95% is normal and would not warrant withholding furosemide.
D. A blood pressure of 80/40 mm/Hg is very low and administering furosemide, a diuretic, could further decrease blood pressure, posing a risk to the client. The nurse should withhold the medication and consult the provider.

A. Client assisted OOB, instructed to splint ABD B. Urine collected for UA and C & S C. Prescription received for MSO4 4.0 mg PRN pain D. 12 units of regular insulin administered subcut

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. "Client assisted OOB, instructed to splint ABD" is clear and uses standard abbreviations (OOB: out of bed, ABD: abdomen).
B. "Urine collected for UA and C & S" is clear and uses standard abbreviations (UA: urinalysis, C & S: culture and sensitivity).
C. "Prescription received for MSO4 4.0 mg PRN pain" is problematic because "MSO4" is an ambiguous abbreviation that can be confused with other medications. It should be written as "morphine sulfate" for clarity. Additionally, the trailing zero in "4.0 mg" can lead to dosing errors; it should be written as "4 mg."
D. "12 units of regular insulin administered subcut" is clear and uses standard terminology (subcut: subcutaneous).
