The nurse should educate clients who are HIV+ on proper nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction because these factors will: (Select All that Apply.)

Choice A rationale

Soft restraints are utilized for agitation but are not prioritized in epilepsy care. Emergency equipment like suction ensures airway safety during seizures.

Choice B rationale

Glasgow Coma Scale evaluates neurological function but is less relevant for epilepsy management compared to essential tools like suction equipment for airway protection.

Choice C rationale

Suction equipment and oxygen are vital in epilepsy management to clear secretions and maintain oxygenation during seizures. Patent IV access allows rapid administration of emergency medications.

Choice D rationale

Dextrose infusion is used to treat hypoglycemia rather than seizures. Epilepsy care prioritizes tools like suction and oxygen for immediate seizure-related complications. .

Choice A rationale

Administering recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) may be necessary, but confirming ischemic stroke via CT scan precedes treatment to rule out hemorrhagic stroke, which contraindicates t-PA.

Choice B rationale

Performing a STAT non-contrast CT scan of the head is the priority to differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, enabling appropriate and timely intervention.

Choice C rationale

A STAT EKG and chest X-ray, though helpful in identifying concurrent cardiac or pulmonary issues, are not immediate priorities in acute stroke evaluation.

Choice D rationale

While assessing dysphagia is critical post-stroke, it is not a priority during initial stroke evaluation, which focuses on rapid imaging and differentiation of stroke type. .
