Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C,A,D,B

C. Discussing the issue privately with the UAP is the first step as it directly addresses the behavior, provides an opportunity for immediate feedback, and allows the UAP to explain their actions.

A. Noting the date and time of the behavior is important for documentation and future reference but follows the initial discussion to ensure accurate recording of events.

D. Planning for scheduled break times may prevent future occurrences by providing clear expectations and structure for the UAP's work schedule.

B. Evaluating the UAP for signs of improvement would be the last step after the above interventions have been implemented to assess their effectiveness and the UAP's adherence to the expected behavior.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Osmolality: Osmolality measures the concentration of solutes in the blood and is not typically affected by naproxen or indicative of the reported symptoms.

B. Serum calcium: While naproxen can cause gastrointestinal irritation and ulceration, it does not typically affect serum calcium levels. Monitoring serum calcium would not directly address the client's reported symptoms.

C. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): ESR is a nonspecific marker of inflammation and is not directly related to the reported symptoms of stomach pain, weakness, and fatigue associated with naproxen use.

D. Hemoglobin: Naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, which may lead to anemia and a decrease in hemoglobin levels. Monitoring hemoglobin levels can help assess for gastrointestinal bleeding in this client who is experiencing stomach pain and weakness/fatigue.

A. Yellow-tinged sputum B. Nausea and headache C. Watery diarrhea D. Increased fatigue

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Yellow-tinged sputum is not uncommon in patients with pneumonia and while it should be monitored, it is not typically a sign of an adverse reaction to linezolid.

B. Nausea and headache may occur with many medications and are not specific to linezolid; these symptoms should be reported, but they are not the most critical.

C. Watery diarrhea could indicate a potentially serious condition known as Clostridium difficile- associated diarrhea, which is an important complication to report when a patient is on antibiotics like linezolid.

D. Increased fatigue can be associated with the client's underlying condition of pneumonia and while it should be assessed, it is not the most critical finding to report in relation to linezolid therapy.
