Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a distal radius fracture with a short arm cast applied. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is experiencing opioid toxicity. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Rationale: Opioid toxicity causes respiratory depression and hypotension. Diaphoresis and chest pain are unrelated, and pupils constrict (miosis), not dilate.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the plan of care for a client who is dehydrated and is receiving IV fluid replacement. Which of the following interventions should the nurse contribute to the plan of care?
