should the nurse recognize as a possible cause of the alarm?
A.) Excess secretions B.) Kinks in the tubing
C.) Artificial airway cuff leak

C.) "Expect your urine and other secretions to be orange while taking this
medication."
D.) "Remember to take this medication with a sip of water just before your first bite of each meal.": "I should remove the old twill ties after the new ties are in place."
rationale:

A.) A client who is 48 hr postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty

cholecystec- tomy: A client who is 48 hr postoperative following a total
hip arthroplasty Stuvia.com - The Marketplace to Buy and Sell your Study Stuvia.com - The Marketplace to Buy and Sell your StudyMaterial
rationale:
The nurse should identify that a client who has undergone a total hip arthroplasty surgery is at greatest risk for a pulmonary embolus because of decreased mobility of the affected extremity and an increased amount of blood clots forming in the veins of the thigh following hip surgery. Deep-vein thromboses are most likely to occur 48 to 72 hr following the arthroplasty. The nurse should intervene to reduce the risk by applying sequential compression devices or antiembolic stockings and by administering anticoagulant medications.

A.) Lateral position with a pillow at the back and over the chest to support
the arm
B.) High-Fowler's position with the arms supported on the overbed
table C.) Semi-Fowler's position with pillows supporting both arms
D.) Supine position with the head of the bed elevated to 15°: High-
Fowler's position with the arms supported on the overbed table
