A nurse assess a client and identifies the client laboratory data illustrated in the chart
below
Sodium: 138 meq/l
Calcium: 7.9 meq/l
Potassium: 4.9 meq/l
Chloride: 98 meq/l
Which of these measures should the nurse include in the clients care plan
A. Check the clients electrocardiogram (ekg)
B. Encourage the client to increase fluid intake
C. Obtain the clients apical radial pulse
, D. Recommend the client go for a bone density test
D. Recommend the client go for a bone density test
Calcium is low could lead to or be caused by osteoporosis
The nurse recognizes that which of these client manifestations would support a nursing
diagnosis of fluid volume deficit
A. Bradycardia
B. Dyspnea
C. Moist mucous membranes
D. Tenting turgor
D. Tenting turgor
Clients with fvd would be tachycardia, hypotensive, tenting turgor, dry mucous
membranes with tenting turgor
The nurse recognizes that the client at greatest risk for the development of
hyperkalemia is
A. A client taking daily diuretics
B. A client with chronic kidney failure
C. A client with hypernatremia
D. A client prescribed calcium's supplements
B. A client with chronic kidney failure
Kidneys primary organ of excretion non functional kidneys cannot excrete potassium
A nurse would be most concerned about which of the following clients

D. An 84 year old with a serum magnesium of 1.8 meq/l
C. A 56 year old with an arterial ph of 7..28
Normal ph is 7.35-7.45 this client is severely acidotic and needs invtervention
immediately
