A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing postoperative nausea and vomiting. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following complications of vomiting?

A. "Sweating can occur with hypoglycemia."
Explanation: This statement is correct. Sweating is one of the common symptoms of hypoglycemia. When blood glucose levels drop too low, the body releases stress hormones, including adrenaline, which can lead to sweating.

B. "My son might complain of feeling shaky when he has a low blood glucose level."
Explanation: This statement is correct. Shaking or feeling shaky is a common symptom of hypoglycemia. It results from the release of stress hormones in response to low blood glucose.

C. "My son might have nausea and vomiting with hypoglycemia."Nausea and vomiting are more commonly associated with hyperglycemia, especially in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). They are not typical signs of hypoglycemia.

D. "The onset of low blood glucose usually occurs rapidly."Hypoglycemia often has a rapid onset, especially with missed meals or increased activity.

A. The patient uses crutches with a swing-to gait.
This action doesn't necessarily indicate a concern after hip arthroplasty. However, the nurse might want to assess the patient's gait and the use of crutches to ensure the proper technique is being employed and that the patient feels comfortable and stable.

B. The patient sits straight up on the edge of the bed.
Sitting straight up on the edge of the bed may not be suitable immediately after hip arthroplasty, especially with the posterior approach. The nurse should assess the patient's ability to sit upright without putting excessive pressure or strain on the surgical site.

C. The patient bends over the sink while brushing teeth.
Bending over can put stress on the surgical site and should be avoided during the initial recovery period after hip arthroplasty. This action might strain the incision and affect the healing process.

D. The patient leans over to pull on shoes and socks.
Similar to bending over the sink, leaning over to put on shoes and socks can strain the hip joint and surgical site. This movement could potentially put stress on the incision and hinder the healing process.
