Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. This position does not optimize drainage of the left lower lobe. The affected lung should be positioned higher so that secretions can drain downward with gravity.

B. Supine position is not optimal for postural drainage of the lower lobes.

C. Prone position is typically used for postural drainage of the upper lobes, not the lower lobes.
D. For postural drainage of the left lower-lobe atelectasis, the client should be positioned right lateral in Trendelenburg position (head lower than feet). This positioning uses gravity to facilitate drainage of secretions from the affected lung segment, allowing them to move into larger airways where they can be coughed out or suctioned.

A. Read the medication label twice prior to administration B. Use one patient identifier prior to medication administration C. Ask the client if they have ever taken a similar medication. D. Access the online drug formulary for an unfamiliar medication

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. While reading the medication label is important, doing it twice prior to administration may not be necessary and could consume additional time.
B. Using one patient identifier is a standard practice for medication administration, but it may not specifically address ensuring the safety of administering a medication for the first time.
C. While it's important to assess the client's history of medication use, asking if they have taken a similar medication may not provide sufficient information about the specific medication being administered.
D. Accessing the online drug formulary for an unfamiliar medication helps the nurse verify the medication's indications, contraindications, dosage, and administration considerations, ensuring safe administration.
