reason:
Shakiness (tremors) is more commonly associated with hypoglycemia, where blood glucose levels drop too low. It is not typically a symptom of hyperglycemia.

reason:
Documenting the fluid infusion in the client's chart: While documenting the fluid infusion is important, assessing the client's vital signs should take priority to ensure their immediate safety and well-being.

reason:
Completing an incident report is incorrect Completing an incident report is a necessary step to document the error and initiate appropriate follow-up actions, but it should come after assessing the client's condition.

reason
Reporting the incident to the unit manager is incorrect. Reporting the incident to the unit manager is important for organizational awareness and accountability, but the nurse's first responsibility is to assess the client's vital signs and address any potential complications.

"OJ" for orange juice is not recommended. While it might seem straightforward, "OJ" could be confused with "oj" or other abbreviations, leading to potential confusion. It's better to write out "orange juice."

"SS" for sliding scale is not recommended" could be misinterpreted or confused with other meanings. It's safer to write out "sliding scale."

SQ is commonly mistaken as “5 every”. Use SUBQ (all UPPERCASE letters, without spaces or periods between letters), or subcutaneous(ly). 

reason:
Protective precautions are not necessary because they (also known as reverse isolation) are used for immunocompromised clients to protect them from potential pathogens carried by healthcare workers or visitors.

reason:
Droplet precautions are not necessary because they are used for infections spread through larger respiratory droplets, like influenza or pertussis.

reason:
Contact precautions are not necessary because they are used for infections that are transmitted through direct contact with the client or contaminated surfaces, such as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) or C. difficile.

reason:
Scrambled eggs are not appropriate. Scrambled eggs are not typically considered a part of a full-liquid diet. They have a solid texture and may not be suitable for this specific dietary progression.

reason:
Oatmeal is inappropriate. Oatmeal is a solid food that does not meet the criteria for a full-liquid diet. It is usually allowed on a soft or regular diet after appropriate postoperative recovery.

reason:
Applesauce is inappropriate. While applesauce is softer than solid foods, it is not typically included in a full liquid diet. It is more commonly associated with a soft or pureed diet.

reason:
Defamation of character is incorrect: Defamation involves making false statements about someone that harm their reputation. It doesn't apply to this scenario.

reason:
Battery is incorrect: Battery involves intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with another person without their consent. There is no indication of physical contact in this situation.

reason:
Assault is incorrect. Assault refers to the intentional threat or act that causes fear of imminent harmful or offensive contact. While there is a threat implied in this scenario, the threat is of false imprisonment rather than physical harm, making false imprisonment a more accurate description of the tort.

reason:
ALT is not primarily used to check kidney function. Kidney function is typically assessed through other tests, such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels.

reason:
ALT is not used to assess the risk of blood clots. It is specifically related to liver function.

reason:
ALT is not a test to determine heart performance. Heart function is evaluated using tests such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) or cardiac enzymes.

reason:
Placing the extremity in a dependent position (lower than the heart) can increase venous pressure and make it more difficult to insert the catheter.

reason:
Choosing the most proximal site on the extremity is not always necessary or appropriate. Veins distal to the proposed insertion site should be considered first, as they tend to be smaller and less accessible.

reason:
Applying a cool compress is not typically done before IV catheter insertion. It might cause vasoconstriction and make it more difficult to access a suitable vein.

reason:
Delirium can indeed affect a client's sleep cycle. It often disrupts sleep patterns and can lead to sleep disturbances

reason:
Delirium does not have a slow progression. It is typically characterized by a rapid and fluctuating course, and it can develop over hours to days.

reason:
Delirium does affect a client's perception of their environment. Clients with delirium may experience hallucinations, paranoia, and other alterations in perception. They may be unable to accurately interpret or interact with their surroundings.

reason:
Skin tags noted in the neck region: Skin tags are generally benign and not typically a cause for immediate concern. While they can be removed if desired, they are not as urgent as assessing potential changes in moles for skin cancer.

reason:
The atrophic wart on the left index finger is incorrect. An atrophic wart is a benign skin condition and is not typically associated with skin cancer or immediate danger. It may not require urgent assessment.

reason:
A flat, nonpalpable, discoloured area of skin on the trunk: While any change in skin appearance should be assessed, a nonpalpable, discoloured area may not present an immediate concern unless it shows signs of growth, change, or other concerning features.
