EtCO2, or End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide is a measurement of? Helps assess? - Answer , is a
measurement of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2) at the end of an exhaled breath.
provide valuable information about a patient's ventilation and overall respiratory status. It can
help in assessing the effectiveness of ventilation and gas exchange.
A common complication associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is? what is it? -
Answer lupus nephritis
It's a kidney problem that happens as a complication of lupus, an autoimmune disease.
Lupus nephritis occurs when the immune system, which is supposed to protect the body,
mistakenly attacks and damages the kidneys.
This can lead to kidney inflammation and problems with filtering waste and excess fluids from
the blood.
Symptoms may include swelling, high blood pressure, blood or protein in the urine, and
decreased kidney function.
The nurse in the outpatient clinic is assessing a client with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Which laboratory data is essential for the nurse to monitor to determine if the client is
experiencing a complication? - Answer urine analysis
A common complication associated with SLE is the development of lupus nephritis. Glomerular
injury is seen in lupus nephritis because of the significant inflammation caused by this
condition. The client with SLE should have routine urine analysis because evidence of lupus
nephritis would consist of proteinuria and microscopic hematuria. Other laboratory testing
pointing to lupus nephritis would be an elevated creatinine and decreased glomerular filtration
rate. Lupus nephritis may be so aggressive that it may cause an individual to need a kidney
transplant.

agitation what are nursing considerations. - Answer Show compassion, foster therapeutic
communication, and avoid statements that could cause those three things even if it means

What BP condition is common in CKD - Answer hypertension
CKD can lead to __________ due to decreased erythropoietin production - Answer anemia
, CKD can lead to anemia due to? - Answer decreased erythropoietin production
What may be administered to stimulate red blood cell production and manage anemia in clients
with CKD. - Answer Erythropoietin (EPO)
Impaired kidney function leads to _________ serum phosphate levels. - Answer increased
Impaired kidney function leads to increased _____ _____ levels (electrolyte) - Answer serum
phosphate
In impaired kidney function, phosphate levels increase due to decreased phosphate excretion
by the kidneys, hormonal imbalances, and reduced activation of vitamin D. This can lead to
calcium imbalance and various health complications. Management includes dietary restrictions
and medications.
What are prescribed to prevent the absorption of dietary phosphate, thus controlling serum
phosphate levels in CKD pts - Answer Phosphate binders
What do phosphate binders do in ckd patients? - Answer prevent the absorption of dietary
phosphate, thus controlling serum phosphate levels
What PPE for Varicella (chicken pox) - Answer gloves, gown, and respirator/N95 mask.
Mittens are not restraints if? 2 - Answer untethered and the client is physically able to
remove the mitt.
Diaphoresis part of hyper or hypothy - Answer hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism: drowsiness or insomnia - Answer insomnia
Hyperthyroidism eye symptoms other than exophthalmos - Answer injected (red)
conjunctiva
Is confusion part of hyper or hypothy? - Answer Hypothyroidism
