A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for atorvastatin. Which of the following client conditions is a contraindication to this medication?

A. While hydrogen peroxide has some disinfectant properties, it is not as effective as other agents like chlorine bleach for cleaning surfaces contaminated with blood.

B. Isopropyl alcohol is effective against many pathogens but may not be as effective as chlorine bleach specifically for bloodborne pathogens.

C. Chlorine bleach is an effective agent for cleaning surfaces contaminated with blood and other bodily fluids, as it has strong disinfectant properties.

D. Chlorhexidine is primarily used as an antiseptic for skin preparation and may not be as effective for surface cleaning of blood contamination.

A. Apply oxygen at 3 L/min per nasal cannula: While oxygenation is important, there is no

indication in the scenario that the client requires oxygen supplementation at this time. Checking oxygen saturation would be more relevant if there were respiratory concerns.

B. Review the chest x-ray report: This is the most appropriate action before initiating the IV

infusion to ensure proper placement of the central venous catheter and absence of complications such as pneumothorax or malposition.

C. Flush the catheter with sterile water: Flushing the catheter with sterile water is not necessary before starting the infusion, especially without confirming proper catheter placement through chest x-ray.

D. Obtain a peripheral blood glucose level: While monitoring blood glucose levels may be

important in certain clinical situations, it is not directly relevant to initiating an IV infusion of Ringer's lactate via a central venous catheter.
