When administering zolpidem to an older client, which computer documentation indicates that the desired outcome has been achieved?

Choice A reason: Storing unused vials at room temperature is incorrect information that indicates a need for further education by the nurse, because somatropin is a growth hormone that should be stored in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) until use. Exposure to heat or light can degrade the medication and reduce its effectiveness.

Choice B reason: Rotating injection sites to minimize discomfort is correct information that does not indicate a need for further education by the nurse, because somatropin is administered subcutaneously and repeated injections at the same site can cause skin irritation, bruising, or infection.

Choice C reason: Discarding the medication if the solution is cloudy is correct information that does not indicate a need for further education by the nurse, because somatropin is a clear and colorless solution that should not be used if it appears cloudy, discolored, or contains particles. This may indicate contamination or degradation of the medication.

Choice D reason: Administering the medication subcutaneously is correct information that does not indicate a need for further education by the nurse, because somatropin is a growth hormone that is given by subcutaneous injection using a syringe or a pen device. Subcutaneous injection allows for better absorption and bioavailability of the medication.

Choice A reason: Eliminating use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, is an instruction that the nurse should provide to the client who is taking lithium carbonate, which is a medication that stabilizes mood and prevents manic episodes. NSAIDs can increase the blood levels of lithium and cause toxicity, which can manifest as nausea, vomiting, tremors, confusion, or seizures.

Choice B reason: Monitoring blood glucose levels daily is not an instruction that the nurse should provide to the client who is taking lithium carbonate, which is a medication that does not affect the blood sugar levels or the risk of diabetes. Blood glucose levels may be important for the general health of the client, but they are not related to lithium therapy.

Choice C reason: Notifying healthcare provider prior to dental procedures is not an instruction that the nurse should provide to the client who is taking lithium carbonate, which is a medication that does not interact with local anesthetics or antibiotics that may be used during dental procedures. However, the client should inform the dentist about their medical history and medications, as a precaution.

Choice D reason: Avoiding consuming all foods that contain iodine is not an instruction that the nurse should provide to the client who is taking lithium carbonate, which is a medication that does not interfere with the thyroid function or the metabolism of iodine. Iodine is an essential nutrient that is found in many foods, such as seafood, dairy products, eggs, and iodized salt. Avoiding iodine can cause deficiency and lead to goiter or hypothyroidism.
