Question 1 of 5
The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client diagnosed with ARF. Which statement is an appropriate outcome for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An appropriate outcome for ARF is achieving normal electrolyte levels, as imbalances like hyperkalemia are common. Monitoring intake/output and administering enemas are interventions, not outcomes, and pain reduction is less specific to ARF.
Question 2 of 5
The telemetry monitor technician notifies the nurse of the morning telemetry readings. Which client should the nurse assess first?
