b. Bivalve the cast for distal compromise
c. Provide high- calorie, high-protein diet
d. Begin parenteral antibiotic therapy
d. Begin parenteral antibiotic therapy
Rationale: The standard of treatment for osteomyelitis is antibiotic therapy and
immobilization. After bond and blood aspirate specimens are obtained for
culture and sensitivity, the nurse should initiate parenteral antibiotics as
prescribed.
The nurse who works in labor and delivery is reassigned to the cardiac care unit

d. Reinforce the surgical wound dressing.
Remove sequential compression devices.
Rationale: Sequential compression devices should be removed prior to
ambulation and there is no indication that this action is contraindicated. The
client's oxygen saturation levels have been within normal limits for the previous
four hours, so supplemental oxygen is not warranted.
After a routine physical examination, the healthcare admits a woman with a

,pitting ankle edema and blood in her urine. Which assessment finding warrants

b. Too much salt can cause the kidneys to retain fluid
c. Excessive salt can cause blood vessels to constrict
d. Salt can cause information inside the blood vessels
b. Too much salt can cause the kidneys to retain fluid
Rationale: Excessive salt intake can contribute to primary hypertension by
causing renal salt retention which influence water retention that expands blood
volume and pressure (ACD) are not believed to contribute to primary
hypertension.
