Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Place the client on their side. This is the first nursing action for a client who develops a seizure to prevent aspiration and maintain an open airway. Placing the client on their side helps to keep their airway clear and prevents them from choking on saliva or vomit. Choice B, loosening clothing, is important but not the first priority. Choice C, placing the client in a Trendelenburg position, is not recommended as it may increase intracranial pressure. Choice D, placing the client in a sitting position, can increase the risk of injury during a seizure.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: By threading the IV bag and tubing through the gown sleeve, the nurse ensures that the client's IV line remains intact and secure. This method minimizes the risk of dislodging the IV line or causing discomfort to the client. It also allows for a smooth removal of the gown without compromising the IV line. Summary: A: Disconnecting tubing near the client can lead to accidental disconnection of the IV line. B: Cutting the gown with scissors is unnecessary and poses a risk of damaging the IV line. D: Disconnecting the tubing at the IV container may result in spillage of IV fluids and potential contamination.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the purpose of health assessment is not solely to identify the client's major disease process. Health assessment also includes collecting information about the client's health status, clarifying their ability to pay for health care, and evaluating client outcomes. Identifying the disease process is just one component of a comprehensive health assessment. The other choices (B, C, D) are incorrect because they all represent valid purposes of health assessment. Collecting information about health status helps in understanding the client's overall well-being, clarifying the ability to pay for health care assists in planning appropriate care, and evaluating client outcomes is essential for monitoring progress and adjusting interventions as needed.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer glucose. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, and administering glucose rapidly raises blood sugar levels to restore normal function. Glucagon (choice B) is used for severe hypoglycemia when the individual cannot consume oral glucose. Insulin (choice C) lowers blood sugar levels and is contraindicated in hypoglycemia. Corticosteroids (choice D) can worsen hypoglycemia by affecting glucose metabolism. Administering glucose is the most direct and effective intervention for hypoglycemia.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin is the priority action for a client with a suspected myocardial infarction as it helps dilate coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart muscle. This helps reduce chest pain and minimize myocardial damage. Administering fluids (B) may be necessary but not the priority. Placing the client in a sitting position (C) could worsen symptoms. Administering aspirin (D) is important but not as immediate as nitroglycerin for acute pain relief.
