A patient is receiving 3% NaCl solution for correction of hyponatremia.For which of the following will the nurse assess?

Hypokalemia.

Hypovolemia.

Fluid overload.

Hypernatremia.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Hypokalemia is a potential concern with diuretic therapy, but not with hypertonic saline solution (3% NaCl) administration for hyponatremia.

Choice B rationale

Hypovolemia is less likely to occur with hypertonic saline infusion. The main concern is overcorrection leading to fluid overload.

Choice C rationale

Fluid overload is a significant risk when administering hypertonic saline (3% NaCl). Nurses should closely monitor for signs of fluid overload, such as edema, crackles in the lungs, and increased blood pressure.

Choice D rationale

Hypernatremia is a possible complication of hypertonic saline administration, but it is not as immediate a concern as fluid overload. Monitoring for fluid overload should take precedence.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Chest pain is not typically associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH affects the prostate gland, leading to urinary symptoms rather than cardiovascular symptoms.

Choice B rationale

Joint stiffness is not a symptom of BPH. Joint stiffness is more commonly associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis.

Choice C rationale

Frequent urination is a common symptom of BPH. The enlarged prostate gland can press against the urethra, causing increased frequency of urination, especially at night.

Choice D rationale

Blurred vision is not a symptom of BPH. Blurred vision can be caused by various conditions affecting the eyes but is not related to the prostate.

A. The client may experience disruptions in their meals with manifestations of heartburn that occur shortly after eating. B. The client may experience frequent episodes of dysphagia and odynophagia. C. The client may experience frequent bouts of heartburn and regurgitation after food intake. D. The client may experience bloating and postprandial fullness.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

While heartburn can occur shortly after eating, it is the frequent episodes of heartburn and regurgitation that are more commonly associated with hiatal hernia.

Choice B rationale

Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and odynophagia (painful swallowing) can occur with other esophageal conditions but are not the primary symptoms of hiatal hernia.

Choice C rationale

Frequent bouts of heartburn and regurgitation after food intake are classic symptoms of hiatal hernia, due to the herniation of the stomach through the diaphragm allowing acid to reflux into the esophagus.

Choice D rationale

Bloating and postprandial fullness can occur, but they are not as commonly associated with hiatal hernia as heartburn and regurgitation.
