The nursing care for the client in addisonian crisis should include which of the following interventions?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The nursing care for a client in Addisonian crisis, also known as adrenal crisis, should include offering extra blankets and raising the heat in the room to keep the client warm. Addisonian crisis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body does not have enough cortisol and aldosterone, which are hormones produced by the adrenal glands. Symptoms of Addisonian crisis include severe weakness, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure. By offering extra blankets and raising the room temperature, the nurse can help prevent hypothermia, which can worsen the client's condition. It is important to maintain the client's body temperature to promote comfort and prevent further complications during Addisonian crisis.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching parents of a child with chronic renal failure (CRF) about the use of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) subcutaneous injections. Which statement indicates the parents have understood the teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct statement indicating that the parents have understood the teaching is: "The red blood cell count should begin to improve with these injections." Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is a hormone used to stimulate red blood cell production in patients with chronic renal failure. By increasing red blood cell production, rHuEPO can help combat anemia, a common complication of chronic renal failure. Therefore, the improvement of the red blood cell count is an expected outcome of administering rHuEPO injections in patients with chronic renal failure. The other statements are not accurate regarding the effects of rHuEPO injections.
