ATI RN Pharmacology 2019 Exam 6 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has hyponatremia and is receiving an infusion of a prescribed hypertonic solution. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the treatment is effective?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Improved cognition. Hyponatremia is characterized by low sodium levels in the blood, leading to neurological symptoms such as confusion, lethargy, and cognitive impairment. By providing a hypertonic solution to increase sodium levels, the nurse would expect to see an improvement in the client's cognition as the sodium levels normalize. This indicates that the treatment is effective in addressing the underlying issue of hyponatremia.



Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the effectiveness of the treatment for hyponatremia. Cardiac arrhythmias can be a complication of hyponatremia but their absence does not necessarily indicate treatment effectiveness. Decreased vomiting may improve the client's symptoms, but it does not specifically indicate correction of the underlying electrolyte imbalance. Chvastek's sign is used to assess for hypocalcemia, not hyponatremia.
