Question 1 of 5

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer dextrose 10% in water. This action is appropriate for treating hypoglycemia, which can be a potential complication of TPN (
Total Parenteral Nutrition) therapy. Administering dextrose 10% in water can help raise the patient's blood sugar levels quickly and effectively.
Choice B is incorrect as lactated Ringers solution does not directly address hypoglycemia.
Choice C is not the best option as slowing the TPN infusion rate may further decrease the patient's blood sugar levels.
Choice D is also incorrect as temporarily discontinuing the TPN infusion may exacerbate the hypoglycemia.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nontender, protruding abdomen. This finding is expected in a child with kwashiorkor, a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition. The nontender, protruding abdomen is due to fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites) and the lack of muscle mass. This is a key characteristic of kwashiorkor. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Head circumference exceeding chest circumference is not a typical finding in children;
B) Fontanels should be soft and flat in infants, not palpable;
C) Natural loss of deciduous teeth occurs around age 6-12 years, not in infancy.
