The nursing instructor asks the student nurse to identify the intramuscular injection sites. The student correctly identifies the following sites: (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)

D. This is the most appropriate goal for a client experiencing diarrhea. Diarrhea is characterized by loose or watery stools, and the goal of treatment is to restore normal stool consistency. This goal focuses on improving the symptoms and resolving the underlying cause of diarrhea, whether it's due to infection, dietary factors, or other reasons.

A. "Defecating regularly" does not necessarily imply improvement in diarrhea symptoms or resolution of the underlying cause. It is vague and does not provide a clear target related to diarrhea management.

B. Increasing ingestion of fruits may be beneficial for some individuals as fruits contain fiber and fluids that can help regulate bowel movements and maintain hydration. However, certain fruits high in fiber (e.g., apples, pears) may exacerbate diarrhea in some cases. This goal should be tailored based on the individual's tolerance and specific dietary needs.

C. This goal is not appropriate for managing diarrhea. Diarrhea leads to fluid loss and dehydration, so limiting fluid intake can worsen dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Adequate fluid intake is crucial to replace lost fluids and maintain hydration during episodes of diarrhea.

C. Chvostek's sign is assessed by tapping or lightly percussing the facial nerve (facial muscles) at the angle of the jaw, just in front of the earlobe. A positive Chvostek's sign is indicated by facial twitching, especially around the mouth, nose, and eye, in response to this percussion. It indicates neuromuscular irritability due to low calcium levels.

A. Straining urine is typically done to collect urine for analysis or to detect urinary stones. It does not relate to the assessment of neuromuscular irritability, which is what Chvostek's sign evaluates.

B. This option does not pertain to assessing Chvostek's sign either. Inflating a blood pressure cuff above systolic measurement is a technique used to assess for Trousseau's sign, which is another clinical indicator of hypocalcemia but involves different physiological mechanisms than Chvostek's sign.

D. This option is unrelated to assessing Chvostek's sign or hypocalcemia. Baseline height and weight are typically obtained for nutritional assessment, growth monitoring, or as part of a general health assessment. They do not help in evaluating neuromuscular irritability associated with calcium levels.
