• An older male client with a history of type 1 diabetes has not felt well the
past few days and arrives at the clinic with abdominal cramping and
vomiting. He is lethargic, moderately, confused, and cannot remember
when he took his last dose of insulin or ate last. What action should the
nurse implement first?
• Start an intravenous (IV) infusion of normal saline
• obtain a serum potassium level
• administer the client's usual dose of insulin
• assess pupillary response to light
• Rationale: the nurse should first start an intravenous infusion of
normal saline to replace the fluids and electrolytes because the client
has been vomiting, and it is
unclear when he last ate or took insulin. The symptoms of
confusion, lethargy, vomiting, and abdominal cramping are all
suggestive of hyperglycemia, which also contributes to diuresis and
fluid electrolyte imbalance.
• A client who received multiple antihypertensive medications experiences
syncope due to a drop in blood pressure to 70/40. What is the rationale for
the nurse’s decision to hold the client’s scheduled antihypertensive
medication?
• increased urinary clearance of the multiple medications has produced
diuresis and lowered the blood pressure
