Explanation

A. "Exposure to sunlight will help to strengthen your eyes.": Sunlight exposure is not recommended as it can exacerbate symptoms.

B. "These are unusual symptoms. I will ask the provider for an ophthalmology referral.": These symptoms are characteristic of Graves' ophthalmopathy and do not require an immediate referral unless severe.

C. "Eye drops and dim lighting can improve your symptoms." These interventions can help alleviate discomfort associated with dryness and light sensitivity in hyperthyroidism-related eye changes (Graves' ophthalmopathy). Dim lighting reduces glare, which can be uncomfortable for clients with sensitivity to light. Eye drops can provide lubrication for dry eyes.

Heparin infusion calculation:

  • Heparin dose ordered: 1000 units per hour
  • Heparin concentration: 25,000 units in 500 mL
  • Conversion: 1 mL = 500 units

Calculations:

  • Units per hour = 1000 units
  • Units per mL = 25,000 units / 500 mL = 50 units/mL
  • mL per hour = 1000 units / 50 units/mL = 20 mL/hr

Answer: The IV pump should be set to 20 mL/hr.
