Question 3 of 5
If a client's parathyroid glands were accidentally removed during a procedure, which condition should the nurse prepare for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The parathyroid glands play a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the body. If the parathyroid glands are accidentally removed during a procedure, the patient is at risk for developing hypocalcemia due to the lack of parathyroid hormone (PTH) production. PTH helps to maintain normal calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from the bones, increasing calcium absorption in the intestines, and reducing calcium excretion by the kidneys. Without PTH, the body's ability to regulate calcium is impaired, leading to low calcium levels, which is known as hypocalcemia. Symptoms of hypocalcemia can include muscle cramps, spasms, and tingling sensations. Nurses should be prepared to monitor for and manage hypocalcemia in a patient who has had their parathyroid glands accidentally removed during a procedure.

Aisa is to receive a liquid iron preparation. Which of the following directions would be appropriate for the nurse to teach Aisa's mother? a.Administer this at least an hour before meals
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoid giving Aisa orange or other citric juices with the iron preparation. Citric juices, such as orange juice, can decrease the absorption of iron in the body. Therefore, it is important to avoid giving these juices when administering the liquid iron preparation to Aisa to ensure optimal absorption of the iron. It would be best to encourage the use of non-citric juices or water when administering the iron preparation to Aisa.
