Feeling sleepy after receiving morphine is a common side effect. However, the fact that the client can be aroused when their name is called suggests that this is not necessarily an adverse effect.
The nurse should continue monitoring the client but may not consider this as a significant adverse reaction.

Pain relief is one of the intended effects of morphine. Therefore, experiencing pain reduction is not an adverse effect.
The nurse would likely view this as a positive response to the medication.

An oxygen saturation (SaO2) level of 94% is within the normal range (usually 95% or higher). It is unlikely to be directly related to morphine administration.
While this value is not concerning, the nurse should continue monitoring the client's oxygen saturation.

Asking about multivitamin intake is not directly relevant to GBS, as the syndrome is not known to be caused by vitamin deficiencies or related to nutritional status.

While travel history is important in assessing exposure to infectious diseases, it is less specific than asking about recent infections. GBS can occur after exposure to certain viruses or bacteria, which can be contracted without overseas travel.

Chronic alcohol abuse is a risk factor for various neurological conditions, but it is not a typical precursor to GBS. The syndrome is more commonly associated with immune responses to infections.

Physical therapy may be prescribed postoperatively to aid in recovery, but it does not directly interfere with the function of a pacemaker.

Checking serum cardiac enzyme levels is a common practice after heart surgery to assess for any damage to the heart muscle, which would not typically require clarification in the context of pacemaker insertion.

A low sodium diet may be recommended for patients with heart conditions to manage blood pressure and fluid retention, but it is not directly related to the care of a pacemaker.

Pain is a common postoperative symptom and should be managed appropriately. However, it is not typically considered a priority over other complications that can have more immediate and severe consequences.

Infection is a potential complication after any surgery, including TURP. While important to monitor for, it is generally not as immediately life-threatening as hemorrhage.

Urinary retention can occur after TURP, but it is often anticipated and managed with the placement of a urinary catheter. It is a concern but not the highest priority immediately following surgery.

This choice is incorrect because an oral cholangiogram does not involve putting a camera down the throat. That procedure is more akin to an endoscopy.

This choice is incorrect because an oral cholangiogram does not involve putting medication into the gallbladder to dissolve stones. That description is more consistent with nonsurgical treatments for gallstones, such as oral bile acid pills.

This choice is incorrect as it describes a different procedure known as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses shock waves to break up gallstones.

This choice is incorrect as painless, raised purple nodules on the hard palate are not typically indicative of squamous cell carcinoma.

This choice is incorrect because a small macule with a yellow-brown scale does not describe squamous cell carcinoma, which often presents as a firm nodule with a scaly crust.

Yellow white patches of growth on the tongue are more indicative of conditions such as oral leukoplakia, not squamous cell carcinoma.

Hypernatremia is not typically associated with prerenal AKI. Prerenal AKI is characterized by conditions that reduce blood flow to the kidneys, not directly causing high sodium levels.

Hypophosphatemia, or low levels of phosphate in the blood, is not a typical finding in prerenal AKI.

Hypercalcemia, or high levels of calcium in the blood, is not commonly associated with prerenal AKI. It is more often related to other conditions such as hyperparathyroidism or malignancy.

This choice is incorrect. A stroke involving the right cerebral hemisphere typically affects the left side of the body and can cause problems with spatial and perceptual abilities, not necessarily with language or discrimination of words and letters, which are more commonly associated with left hemisphere strokes⁸.

Motor retardation is not specific to right hemisphere strokes. While right hemisphere strokes can cause weakness on the left side of the body, the term 'motor retardation' is not commonly used to describe this symptom⁸.

This choice is incorrect because deficits in the right visual field would suggest a problem with the left cerebral hemisphere, not the right. A right hemisphere stroke typically causes problems with the left visual field⁸.

This choice is incorrect. Metabolic alkalosis would be indicated by an elevated pH and HCO3, but the PaCO2 would typically be higher due to compensatory hypoventilation.

This choice is incorrect because, for metabolic alkalosis to be uncompensated, the PaCO2 would typically be normal or high, not low.

This choice is incorrect. Respiratory acidosis would be indicated by a low pH and high PaCO2, which is not the case here.

This choice is incorrect. Painless, raised purple nodules on the hard palate are not typically indicative of squamous cell carcinoma.

This choice is incorrect. A small macule with a yellow-brown scale does not describe squamous cell carcinoma, which often presents as a firm nodule with a scaly crust.

Yellow white patches of growth on the tongue are more indicative of conditions such as oral leukoplakia, not squamous cell carcinoma.
