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: C

Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: 1. Preventing infiltration of calcium is crucial to avoid tissue necrosis and sloughing. 2. Infiltration of calcium can lead to severe tissue damage and potential harm to the patient. 3. Monitoring for signs of infiltration during administration of electrolyte solutions is essential. 4. Administering calcium-containing solutions cautiously can prevent serious complications. 5. Ensuring proper placement of the IV line and monitoring for any signs of infiltration is key. Summary: A: Infusing hypertonic solutions rapidly can lead to adverse effects, such as fluid overload. B: Limiting potassium to 80 mEq per liter is important, but not directly related to preventing calcium infiltration. D: Reevaluating digitalis dosage is important in clients receiving electrolyte solutions but not directly related to preventing calcium infiltration.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Provide oxygen therapy. For a client with shortness of breath and a history of heart failure, oxygen therapy is the most effective intervention as it helps improve oxygenation and relieve respiratory distress. Administering diuretics may help manage fluid retention but does not directly address the breathing difficulty. Encouraging deep breathing may be beneficial for some respiratory conditions but may not be sufficient for a client with heart failure and shortness of breath. Applying oxygen therapy is similar to providing oxygen therapy and can help improve oxygen levels, but providing oxygen therapy is more specific and effective in this case.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer IV fluids. This is the most important intervention for a client with severe burns because it helps maintain adequate fluid balance and prevent hypovolemic shock. IV fluids are crucial in managing burns to prevent complications such as dehydration and organ damage. Monitoring vital signs closely (B) and urine output (C) are important, but administering IV fluids takes precedence in stabilizing the client. Placing the client in a prone position (D) is not recommended for burn patients as it can increase the risk of infection and impede breathing.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. GERD: Lying down after eating can worsen symptoms due to acid reflux. Sitting up helps prevent acid reflux. 2. Dumping Syndrome: Lying down can exacerbate symptoms like nausea and dizziness. Sitting up aids in digestion. 3. Choice B recommends lying down 1 hour after eating for Dumping Syndrome and sitting up at least 30 minutes after eating for GERD, which aligns with the management of both conditions. Summary: - Choice A is incorrect as lying flat after meals worsens GERD and Dumping Syndrome symptoms. - Choice C is incorrect as sitting up only after meals does not address the specific needs of GERD and Dumping Syndrome. - Choice D is incorrect as lying down after meals is not recommended for either condition.
