Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) can cause adrenal insufficiency. 2. Corticosteroids help prevent adrenal insufficiency in TPN patients. 3. Monitoring corticosteroid administration ensures adrenal function. 4. Monitoring blood glucose or serum glucose levels is important but not specific to TPN. 5. Dehydration can be monitored but is not directly related to TPN.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Calling the physician shows respect for the client's request and ensures safety. 2. Consulting the physician is important to consider any potential contraindications. 3. Ginger is a common remedy for nausea and is safe for most pregnant individuals. 4. Collaborating with the physician ensures appropriate care for the client's specific needs. Summary of Incorrect Choices: - B: Dismissing home remedies may not align with the client's cultural beliefs or preferences. - C: Herbs can be effective and safe alternatives, and the client's request should be respected. - D: While dry crackers may help with nausea, they do not address the client's specific request for ginger.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Provide cooling measures. When caring for a client with hyperthermia, the nurse's priority is to lower the body temperature to prevent further complications. Providing cooling measures such as removing excess clothing, using fans, applying cool compresses, and encouraging hydration helps to reduce the body temperature effectively. Administering antipyretics (A and D) may be considered in some cases, but cooling measures are more immediate and effective. Administering corticosteroids (C) is not indicated in the treatment of hyperthermia. Cooling measures directly target the elevated body temperature, making it the top priority in managing hyperthermia.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer nitroglycerin. This is the first step in the care of a client with acute chest pain because nitroglycerin helps dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart. This can relieve chest pain associated with angina or heart attack. Administering aspirin (choice B) is important as well, but nitroglycerin is prioritized due to its immediate effect in reducing chest pain. Administering opioids (choice C) and morphine (choice D) are not recommended as first-line treatments for acute chest pain, as they can mask symptoms and delay the diagnosis of potentially life-threatening conditions.

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.
