A client receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) suddenly develops tremors, dizziness, and diaphoresis. The client said, 'I feel weak and the bag was empty.' Which is the most likely complication the client is currently experiencing?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The client experiencing tremors, dizziness, diaphoresis, weakness, and stating that the TPN bag is empty is likely experiencing hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can occur when the TPN infusion suddenly stops, leading to a rapid drop in blood sugar levels. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include tremors, dizziness, diaphoresis, and weakness. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as the symptoms presented are more consistent with hypoglycemia rather than fluid volume overload, sepsis, or hyperglycemia.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because canned peaches are low in fiber compared to the other options provided. Option A contains high-fiber vegetables (carrots and celery), option B includes a bran muffin which is fiber-rich, and option C involves oatmeal which is also a good source of fiber. Therefore, choosing canned peaches aligns with a low-fiber diet.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During pregnancy, the gastrointestinal tract tends to slow down, leading to constipation. This is due to hormonal changes that relax the intestinal muscles, allowing more time for nutrient absorption and ultimately leading to constipation. Diarrhea is not typically associated with the slowing of the gastrointestinal tract during pregnancy. Decreased absorption of iron and calcium may occur during pregnancy due to increased demands, but they are not directly related to the slowing of the gastrointestinal tract.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Water. Water is the best choice to prevent baby bottle tooth decay as it does not cause tooth decay and is a good option for bedtime bottles. Milk (choice B) and iron-fortified formula (choice C) contain sugars that can contribute to tooth decay. Unsweetened fruit juice (choice D) also contains natural sugars that can be harmful to the baby's teeth.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes. For a preschool child, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes provides a 1-ounce serving of grains, meeting the requirement. Choice B, 1⁄2 slice of whole wheat bread, is not the correct answer as it does not constitute a 1-ounce serving of grains. Similarly, choice C, 1⁄2 of a 6-inch flour tortilla, does not offer a 1-ounce serving of grains. Choice D, 1 cup of cooked rice, also does not provide a 1-ounce serving of grains for a preschool child, making it an incorrect choice.
