competent strategies based on a foundation of trust to work effectively with
vulnerable populations such as migrant far, worker. These individuals are often
transient and fearful of deportation, so building trust is fundamental to other
strategies such as client education media. This client population is not likely to be

this abnormal score is a sign of improvement or deterioration in the client's
conditions. A is irrelevant. B is part of the GCS. The classic vital signs in late or
sudden increasing ICP are Cushing's triad (widening pulse pressure, bradycardia
with full, bounding pulse, and irregular respirations) Additional vital signs and
trending of values are needed to evaluate the current finding(D) and C is a more
sensitive, consistent evaluation
The charge nurse in a critical care unit is reviewing clients' conditions to

object become contaminated by capillary action when sterile objects become in
contact with a wet contaminated surface.
An unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) reports that a client's right hand and
fingers spasms when taking the blood pressure using the same arm. After
confirming the presence of spams what action should the nurse take?

b. Tell the UAP to use a different sphygmomanometer.
c. Review the client's serum calcium level
d. Administer PRN antianxiety medication.
Review the client's serum calcium level
Rationale: Trousseau's sign is indicated by spasms in the distal portion of an
extremity that is being used to measure blood pressure and is caused by
hypocalcemia (normal level 9.0-10.5 mg/dl, so C should be implemented.
