Which of the following actions should the nurse take during the management of oxygenation for this client? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,D,E

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for bupropion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bupropion lowers seizure threshold, requiring monitoring. Drowsiness isn't typical (it's stimulating), milk isn't needed, and BP isn't primary.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has anorexia nervosa and a behavioral management plan in place. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the behavioral plan is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A potassium of 3.5 mEq/L (normal range) suggests stabilization, a sign of effective management in anorexia. Low sodium, hemoglobin, and BMI indicate ongoing issues.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enoxaparin is injected into subcutaneous tissue (e.g., abdomen), not muscle. Massaging increases bleeding risk, and red stools aren't expected—bruising is more common.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for albuterol via nebulizer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol can cause tachycardia, a side effect to monitor. Deep breaths are needed, dosing is typically 4-6 hr, and O2 sat is checked as needed.
