After an unsuccessful resuscitation attempt, the nurse calls the family of the deceased.

The family wish to see the body before it is taken to the funeral home.

Which intervention(s) should the nurse take to prepare the body before the family enters the room? (Select all that apply.).

Choice A rationale:

Checking the femoral site for hematoma formation is the most appropriate action in response to the client's complaint of pain at the right groin insertion site after a cardiac catheterization. Hematoma formation is a potential complication of this procedure and can lead to further complications if not addressed promptly. Checking for hematoma allows the nurse to assess for bleeding and take appropriate measures to manage it.

Choice B rationale:

Stimulating the client to take deep breaths is not the most immediate action needed in this situation. While deep breathing is important for respiratory function, the client's pain at the groin site requires immediate assessment to rule out complications.

Choice C rationale:

Evaluating the integrity of the IV insertion site is not the primary concern in this case. The client's pain is localized to the groin site, which is where the cardiac catheterization was performed. Checking for hematoma formation at this site takes precedence.

Choice D rationale:

Assessing distal lower extremity capillary refill is important for assessing peripheral perfusion, but it is not the most immediate action needed when a client complains of pain at a specific site, such as the right groin insertion site after a cardiac catheterization. Checking for hematoma and assessing for bleeding should come first.

Choice A rationale:

An elevated serum creatinine level can indicate kidney dysfunction or damage, which can be a possible adverse effect of amoxicillin-clavulanate. The kidneys are responsible for excreting the medication, and elevated creatinine levels suggest impaired renal function.

Choice B rationale:

An elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level is indicative of liver dysfunction or damage. Amoxicillin-clavulanate can sometimes cause hepatotoxicity as a side effect, and elevated ALT levels may suggest this adverse effect.

Choice D rationale:

An elevated white blood cell count (leukocytosis) can be a possible adverse effect of amoxicillin-clavulanate, indicating an increase in the body's immune response. This could be due to an allergic reaction or other adverse reactions to the medication.

Choice C rationale:

An elevated serum potassium level is not typically associated with amoxicillin-clavulanate use. This finding is more likely related to other factors such as kidney dysfunction or certain medications like potassium-sparing diuretics.

Choice E rationale:

An elevated platelet count is not typically associated with amoxicillin-clavulanate use. This finding is more likely related to other factors, such as a bone marrow disorder or inflammation.
