Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a wound that is healing by primary intention. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has fluid overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,D

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has had partial removal of the parathyroid gland. The client reports numbness and tingling of the hands and fingers. Which lab value would the nurse expect to see?

Rationale: Partial parathyroidectomy reduces PTH, causing hypocalcemia (7.5 mg/dL), leading to numbness and tingling. Chloride and potassium are unrelated, and high calcium is not expected.
