Potassium: Potassium is not linked to the fluid retention and exacerbation of symptoms in Meniere’s disease.

Protein: Protein restriction is not necessary and has no direct impact on the management of Meniere's disease.

Fluids: Restricting fluids is not recommended; hydration is essential for overall health. The focus is on reducing sodium intake to manage fluid balance.

A client who eats raw shellfish: This is associated with hepatitis A, not hepatitis C.

A client who has recently traveled to an underdeveloped country: This is more indicative of hepatitis A or E, not hepatitis C.

A client who works in a child care center: Childcare workers are more at risk for hepatitis A due to fecal-oral transmission.

Do not share intravenous needles: While important, this applies more to hepatitis B and C, which are transmitted via blood.

Avoid eating at fast food restaurants: Proper food handling is essential, but this is not the primary recommendation for preventing hepatitis A.

Wear barrier protection during vaginal intercourse: Hepatitis A is not typically transmitted sexually; this applies more to hepatitis B.

3% sodium chloride: This hypertonic saline is used for severe hyponatremia and is inappropriate for TPN replacement.

0.9% sodium chloride: Normal saline lacks the glucose content needed to prevent hypoglycemia when TPN is abruptly stopped.

Lactated Ringer's: Lactated Ringer's is used for fluid and electrolyte replacement but does not provide sufficient glucose for TPN interruption.

Withhold oral fluids and food: Acute pancreatitis requires the pancreas to rest, which involves withholding oral intake to reduce pancreatic enzyme activity.

Assist the client to a side-lying position: This is a comfort measure but is not the priority intervention after managing pain.

Auscultate the client's lungs: Lung assessment is essential, especially for potential respiratory complications, but pancreatic rest takes precedence initially.

Stiffness in the lower extremities: While joint stiffness may occur, skin integrity is a more urgent concern.

Difficulty moving the upper extremities: This is related to stroke recovery rather than immobility.

Difficulty hearing some types of sounds: Hearing difficulties are unrelated to immobility.

Monitor the client’s electrolyte levels: While important, this is not the immediate priority compared to airway management.

Record the client’s intake and output: Monitoring fluid balance is significant but less urgent than ensuring a patent airway.

Perform passive range of motion on each extremity: Preventing contractures is necessary but secondary to airway management.

Increased urinary output: Myasthenia gravis does not affect renal function directly.

Increased intracranial pressure: This is unrelated to myasthenia gravis, which primarily affects neuromuscular transmission.

Confusion: Confusion is not a typical manifestation of myasthenia gravis unless hypoxia occurs secondary to respiratory compromise.

Provide relief from pain and discomfort: While pain management is important, maintaining immobilization and alignment is more critical for proper bone healing.

Provide optimal nutrition and hydration: Good nutrition is essential for healing but is not the highest priority compared to ensuring immobilization and alignment.

Promote independence in activities of daily living: This is a long-term goal but not an immediate priority during the healing process.
