The nurse is caring for a client who is having chest pain. The healthcare provider prescribes an infusion of nitroglycerin. The initial dose is 12 mcg/min. The nitroglycerin is dispensed at a concentration of 100 mg/ 250 mL. How many mL/hr will the nurse set the infusion pump? (Round rate to the nearest tenth. Only enter numbers and decimals. Do not enter any letters in your answer.)

A. A leg and ankle fracture is serious but typically not life-threatening compared to issues involving airway obstruction or severe bleeding.
B. Flank pain radiating to the groin may indicate a kidney stone or other condition, but it is less urgent than airway obstruction.
C. A raised red rash on the abdomen could be a sign of a less urgent condition, such as a viral infection or allergic reaction, and does not require immediate intervention compared to respiratory distress.
D. Expiratory stridor indicates upper airway obstruction or severe respiratory distress, which is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate intervention. Stridor suggests possible airway compromise, which needs to be addressed urgently to prevent respiratory failure.

A. The fingerstick blood glucose level of 55 mg/dL at 1130 indicates hypoglycemia, which requires immediate attention to prevent further complications such as loss of consciousness or severe symptoms.
B. The client's report of shakiness, hunger, and cool, diaphoretic skin are signs of hypoglycemia, especially given the low blood glucose level. This requires prompt intervention to manage the blood glucose level.
C. The temperature of 37.8 °C (100 °F) is slightly elevated but does not require immediate follow-up unless there are other symptoms of infection or significant changes.
D. The elevated heart rate of 118/min could indicate an underlying issue such as dehydration, hypoglycemia, or infection. It requires further evaluation in the context of other findings.
E. The SpO2 of 95% on room air is within an acceptable range and does not require immediate follow-up unless there are other signs of respiratory distress or worsening condition.
F. The HbA1c of 8.01% reflects long-term glucose control but is not an immediate concern for follow-up in the acute setting. It is important for overall management but not an urgent issue for this particular scenario.
