A nurse is checking laboratory results for a client. Which of the following laboratory findings indicates hypervolemia?

A. Speaking directly into one of the client's ears may not effectively improve communication for someone with a hearing impairment, especially if the impairment is bilateral.

B. Rephrasing sentences the client does not understand can help improve comprehension by providing information in a different way.

C. Dropping voice volume at the end of sentences may make it difficult for the client to hear the end of the sentence, especially if they have a hearing impairment.

D. Exaggerating lip movements may not be helpful and can actually make lip-reading more difficult for some individuals.

The nurse should first administer the client's cefazolinto the client's IV access

Rationale:

Cefazolin is an antibiotic prescribed to treat the client's suspected infection indicated by the fever and hip surgical wound inflammation. Administering the antibiotic promptly is essential to initiate treatment and address the underlying cause of the fever. The prescription specifies administering cefazolin intravenously, so the nurse should prioritize administering it through the client's IV access. Administering acetaminophen or alprazolam may be appropriate based on the client's symptoms and vital signs, but addressing the infection with antibiotics takes precedence.
