  • Tachypnea refers to an increased respiratory rate, which is noted as 29 breaths per minute in this client. Normal respiratory rates typically range from 12 to 20 breaths per minute.
  • Bradycardia typically refers to a slower than normal heart rate; however, in this context, the client’s heart rate is actually elevated at 104 beats per minute, which is not bradycardic. Thus, this term does not accurately apply to the client’s condition.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. This value indicates metabolic acidosis rather than alkalosis due to a low pH and normal HCO3.
B. This value is indicative of metabolic alkalosis as the pH is elevated (7.49), the HCO3 is elevated (32 mEq/L), and the PCO2 is within normal range, reflecting a compensatory response.
C. While the pH is slightly elevated, the high PCO2 suggests respiratory compensation, making it less consistent with primary metabolic alkalosis.
D. This value indicates metabolic acidosis due to a low pH and normal HCO3 levels, not alkalosis.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. While working as a construction worker may involve exposure to various pathogens, it is not as critical as the client's history of substance use.
B. A reported history of alcoholism is significant because terbinafine is metabolized by the liver, and a history of alcohol use could affect liver function, increasing the risk of liver toxicity. This finding requires further assessment before administration.
C. Thick and yellow toenails indicate a fungal infection, which is the reason for the terbinafine prescription but does not impact the immediate safety of administering the medication.
D. A white blood cell count of 8,500/mm³ is within the normal range and does not indicate an immediate concern related to medication administration.
