Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Assuming the client is someone else's spouse based on a name may be inappropriate and could lead to misunderstanding.

B. The chart may not necessarily contain an error, and jumping to conclusions could be unprofessional.

C. Apologizing and declaring confusion may make the client uncomfortable. It's more respectful to inquire directly.

D. Asking the client about their preferred form of address is the most respectful and professional approach.

A. Lantus insulin 24 U subcutaneously every evening B. Oral digoxin (Lanoxin) 0.25 mg daily C. Metoprolol (Lopressor) 12.5 mg orally daily D. Ibuprofen (Motrin) 400 mg every 6 hours

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Lantus insulin does not directly affect potassium levels in the same way that digoxin does.

B. A potassium level of 3.0 mEq/L is low, and digoxin toxicity can occur when potassium levels are low, leading to an increased risk of arrhythmias. This requires immediate attention to avoid serious complications.

C. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that does not directly cause hypokalemia and is less of an immediate concern.

D. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that could affect kidney function but does not directly impact potassium levels as significantly as digoxin.
