A client on the unit is diagnosed with rapid atrial fibrillation. Which medication is the healthcare provider likely to prescribe to correct this rhythm?

Choice A reason: Cullen's sign is a physical finding of bruising around the umbilicus, often associated with intra-abdominal bleeding or pancreatitis. It is not related to Parkinson's disease.

Choice B reason: Bradykinesia, or slowed movement, is a hallmark symptom of Parkinson's disease. It affects the ability to initiate and control movements.

Choice C reason: Pill rolling is a characteristic hand tremor seen in Parkinson's disease. It involves a rhythmic movement of the fingers as if rolling a small object between them.

Choice D reason: Unilateral tremors, or tremors occurring on one side of the body, are often one of the early signs of Parkinson's disease. The tremors typically start on one side and may progress to affect both sides.

Choice E reason: Swan neck deformity is a feature of rheumatoid arthritis, involving deformity of the fingers. It is not associated with Parkinson's disease.

Choice A reason: The nurse waiting 5 minutes between administering prescribed eye drops is a standard practice to allow each drop to be properly absorbed and avoid dilution of the medication. This intervention does not require any action from the charge nurse.

Choice B reason: Leaving the eye shield in place while the client sleeps helps protect the eye from potential injury or infection after surgery. This is a recommended practice and does not need intervention from the charge nurse.

Choice C reason: Instructing the client not to drive at night is a reasonable precautionary measure given the client's recent eye surgery and potential vision changes. This instruction does not warrant intervention from the charge nurse.

Choice D reason: Encouraging the client to exercise with 20 lb weights one day post-operatively is inappropriate and requires the charge nurse to intervene. Strenuous activity can increase intraocular pressure and compromise the healing process after cataract surgery. The client should avoid heavy lifting and follow the post-operative care instructions provided by the healthcare team.
