A client rates the pain level of a migraine an 8 on a scale of 1-10. How
would the nurse administer the medication to give the client the quickest
relief? - intravenous (IV)
The nurse would want the client to...
shouldn't infuse for longer than 4 hours because the risk of contamination
and sepsis increases after that time. The nurse should discard any blood
not given within this time, or return it to the blood bank, in accordance with
facility policy.
A client has been taking furosemide for 2 days. The nurse should review
the laboratory record for changes in which blood level? - ✔✔a decreased
potassium
Furosemide is a loop diuretic and inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and
chloride from the proximal and distal renal tubules and the loop of Henle.
Furosemide promotes sodium diuresis, resulting in a loss of potassium and
serious electrolyte imbalances. Furosemide does not affect the BUN level.
A client has sustained a head injury and is to receive mannitol by I.V. push.
In evaluating the effectiveness of the drug, the nurse should expect to find:
- ✔✔decreased cerebral edema.
Mannitol, an osmotic diuretic, is used to decrease cerebral edema in clients
with head injuries. The other choices are not correct results of mannitol.
