A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has a hearing aid. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when the client reports hearing a whistling sound from the hearing aid?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is receiving IV fluid replacement to treat diarrhea but now has oliguria. Laboratory results include a potassium level of 5.6 mEq/L. The nurse should report which of the following findings to the provider immediately?

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly hired nurse about cultural sensitivity during death and dying. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
