Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The pharmacy is delayed in supplying the client’s next container of TPN. Which of the following fluids should the nurse infuse until the next container arrives?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Dextrose 10% in water. When TPN is delayed, it is important to provide a temporary source of glucose to prevent hypoglycemia. Dextrose 10% in water is the most appropriate choice as it provides a higher concentration of glucose compared to Dextrose 5%, helping to maintain the client's blood glucose levels until the TPN is available. 0.9% sodium chloride does not provide glucose which is essential in TPN replacement. Lactated Ringer’s solution does not contain glucose and is not suitable for providing caloric support.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is helping an older adult client ambulate in the hallway for the first time since admission. The client has brought her standard walker from home. To ensure proper use of the walker and the safety of the client, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Correct Answer: D - Check that the client lifts the walker and then places it down in front of her.
Rationale: This action is correct because it ensures the client is using the walker properly to provide support and stability while walking. Lifting the walker before moving it forward helps prevent tripping over obstacles and ensures proper weight distribution. Placing it down in front of her also helps maintain balance and control during ambulation.
Summary of other choices:
A: Walking in front of the client may cause confusion and hinder the client's ability to maneuver the walker independently.
B: Ensuring the upper bar of the walker is level with the client's waist is important, but it is not the most critical action for the client's safety and proper use of the walker.
C: Having the client move one leg forward with the walker is a common ambulation technique but does not specifically address the proper use of the walker.
