Question 4 of 5
A client is admitted with a serum glucose of 618mg/dl. The client is awake and oriented, with hot, dry skin; a temperature of 100.6F (38.1 C); a heart rate of 116beats/min; and a blood pressure of 108/70mmHg. Based on these findings, which nursing diagnosis takes highest priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The highest priority nursing diagnosis in this scenario is Deficient fluid volume related to osmotic diuresis. The client's serum glucose level of 618mg/dl indicates severe hyperglycemia, which is likely causing osmotic diuresis leading to fluid volume deficit. The client's hot, dry skin, along with a heart rate of 116 beats/min, and blood pressure of 108/70mmHg are symptoms of dehydration due to fluid loss. If left untreated, deficient fluid volume can lead to serious complications such as hypovolemic shock. Therefore, addressing the fluid volume deficit is essential to stabilize the client's condition before other nursing diagnoses are addressed.
Question 5 of 5
A 28 y.o man is diagnosed with acute epididymitis. Which of the ff. symptoms supports this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled tube located behind the testicles that stores and carries sperm. The most common symptom of acute epididymitis is severe tenderness and swelling in the scrotum, typically on one side. Other symptoms may include redness, warmth, and pain in the affected testicle. While symptoms such as burning and pain on urination may be present in other conditions like urinary tract infections, the presence of severe tenderness and swelling in the scrotum is more indicative of acute epididymitis. The foul-smelling ejaculate and severe scrotal swelling are not typical symptoms of acute epididymitis.
