A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a calcium level of 8 mg/dL. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

a. “I will wait 10 min between each inhalation.”: There is no need to wait 10 minutes between

inhalations of albuterol. The usual recommendation is to wait 1-2 minutes if a second inhalation is needed.

b. “I will hold my breath at least 10 seconds after inhaling the medication.”: Holding the breath for at least 10 seconds after inhaling helps ensure that the medication reaches the lower airways and is absorbed effectively.

c. “I will tilt my head forward while inhaling the medication.”: Tilted head position is not necessary for using an inhaler; a proper inhalation technique is more critical.

d. “I will hold the inhaler with my non-dominant hand.”: The hand used to hold the inhaler is not as crucial as proper inhalation technique, but using the dominant hand may be more comfortable for most individuals.

a. Apply a warm cloth over the client's eyes: This intervention is not typically indicated for a client who had a craniotomy. It is important to monitor for signs of increased intracranial pressure, but a warm cloth over the eyes is not a standard intervention.

b. Place the client in a supine position: The position of the client after a craniotomy will depend on the surgeon's preference. It is important to follow specific postoperative positioning

instructions, which may or may not include supine positioning.

c. Maintain seizure precautions: Seizure precautions are crucial for clients who have had a craniotomy, as they are at an increased risk of seizures postoperatively.

d. Obtain a prescription for an opioid medication for pain: Pain management is important, but opioid medications may be carefully titrated due to the potential for respiratory depression and other side effects. It is not the primary intervention in the immediate postoperative period.
