does the nurse perform as a priority before administering the medication?




A. Checking the client's blood pressure

B. Checking the client's peripheral pulses

C. Checking the most recent potassium level

D. Checking the client's intake-and-output record for the last 24 hours - Answer✔️✔️-A.

Checking the client's blood pressure



Checking the client's blood pressure

Enalapril maleate is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat

hypertension. One common side effect is postural hypotension. Therefore the nurse

would check the client's blood pressure immediately before administering each dose.

Checking the client's peripheral pulses, the results of the most recent potassium level,

and the intake and output for the previous 24 hours are not specifically associated with

this mediation.

2-A client is scheduled to undergo an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, and the nurse

provides instructions to the client about the test. Which statement by the client indicates

a need for further instruction?



A. "The test will take about 30 minutes."

B. "I need to fast for 8 hours before the test."

C. "I need to drink citrate of magnesia the night before the test and give myself a Fleet

enema on the morning of the test."

D. "I need to take a laxative after the test is completed, because the liquid that I'll have

to drink for the test can be constipating." - Answer✔️✔️-C. "I need to drink citrate of

magnesia the night before the test and give myself a Fleet enema on the morning of the

test."



An upper GI series involves visualization of the esophagus, duodenum, and upper

jejunum by means of the use of a contrast medium. It involves swallowing a contrast

medium (usually barium), which is administered in a flavored milkshake. Films are taken

at intervals during the test, which takes about 30 minutes. No special preparation is

necessary before a GI series, except that NPO status must be maintained for 8 hours

before the test. After an upper GI series, the client is prescribed a laxative to hasten

elimination of the barium. Barium that remains in the colon may become hard and

difficult to expel, leading to fecal impaction.
