Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer glucose. When a client presents with symptoms of hypoglycemia, the nurse should prioritize raising the blood sugar levels immediately to prevent further complications. Administering glucose helps to quickly address the low blood sugar levels and alleviate symptoms. Monitoring blood glucose (B) is important but not the first step in an acute situation. Administering insulin (C) would worsen hypoglycemia. Monitoring for arrhythmias (D) is not the primary concern when dealing with hypoglycemia.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B (Administer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - NSAIDs) Rationale: 1. NSAIDs are commonly used for chronic pain management due to their anti-inflammatory properties. 2. NSAIDs target the underlying inflammation that often contributes to chronic pain. 3. Opioids may be reserved for severe pain due to their potential for addiction and side effects. 4. Monitoring blood pressure is important but not the primary intervention for chronic pain. 5. Acetaminophen is a mild pain reliever and may not be as effective for chronic pain compared to NSAIDs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct approach is to defer the rest of the mental health examination. This is because the patient's symptoms of dysarthria and lethargy indicate a potential medical emergency or brain injury, which should take precedence over the mental health assessment. It is important to first ensure the patient's physical well-being before proceeding with the mental health evaluation. Choice B is incorrect as skipping the language portion of the examination may overlook crucial information related to the patient's condition. Choice C is also incorrect as an in-depth speech evaluation may delay necessary medical interventions. Choice D is incorrect as assuming dysarthria is always linked to severe depression can lead to overlooking urgent medical needs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer IV fluids. The initial priority in managing sepsis is to restore perfusion and oxygenation by giving IV fluids to support blood pressure and organ perfusion. This helps to improve tissue oxygenation and prevents further organ damage. Administering insulin (choice B) is not the priority in the initial management of sepsis. Monitoring blood pressure (choice C) is important but not the first step in the management of sepsis. Administering insulin is also listed twice and is not relevant to the immediate management of sepsis.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Sodium restriction helps prevent fluid retention and high blood pressure in CKD. 2. Limiting sodium intake is crucial in managing CKD-related complications. 3. Excess sodium can worsen fluid retention and strain the kidneys. 4. Proper understanding of sodium limitation shows patient's grasp of CKD management. Incorrect Choices: B. Increasing fluid intake can worsen fluid retention in CKD patients. C. Excessive protein intake can burden the kidneys in CKD. D. High potassium levels in CKD can lead to dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities.
