A charge nurse is creating assignments for the next shift for several nurses and one of the nurses is pregnant. Which of the following clients should the charge nurse assign to a nurse who is not pregnant?

A.

A. Hallucinations - Delirium can cause perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations, where the client perceives things that are not actually present.

B. Agnosia - Agnosia refers to the inability to recognize familiar objects, which is not typically associated with delirium.

C. Bradycardia - Delirium is not typically associated with bradycardia; it may actually be associated with tachycardia due to the physiological stress response.

D. Aphasia - Aphasia refers to the loss of ability to understand or express speech, which is not typically associated with delirium.

A. Dependent edema may occur in some cases of pericarditis but is not typically a priority finding compared to chest pain, which can indicate cardiac compromise.

B. A pericardial friction rub is a classic finding in pericarditis but is not necessarily the priority over the chest pain, which requires immediate attention.

C. A paradoxical pulse (pulse amplitude decreasing during inspiration) can occur in pericarditis but is not typically as concerning as substernal chest pain.

D. Substernal chest pain is a common and significant symptom of pericarditis, and assessing and managing the pain is a priority to ensure adequate cardiac function and alleviate discomfort.
