Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A nurse collecting data from a client who reports having diarrhea for the past 3 days should identify that muscle weakness is a symptom of hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is a condition in which the blood potassium level is low and can be caused by excessive ﬂuid loss through diarrhea. Potassium helps regulate muscle contractions, so when blood potassium levels are low, muscles may produce weaker contractions which result in muscle weakness.

The other options are not typical symptoms of hypokalemia.

a) Pitting edema is not a typical symptom of hypokalemia.

b) Diplopia is not a typical symptom of hypokalemia.

d) Hyperactive bowel sounds are not a typical symptom of hypokalemia.

A. Contact the provider to prescribe more pain medication for the client. B. Teach the client relaxation techniques for the treatment of acute pain. C. Document the client's reaction to the administration of medication. D. Reevaluate the client's response to the medication in 30 min.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The first action the nurse should take is to reevaluate the client's response to the medication in 30 min. Hydromorphone has an onset of action of 15 to 30 minutes when taken orally ¹. Therefore, it may take some time for the medication to reach its full eﬀect.

Option a is incorrect because it may not be necessary to contact the provider for more pain medication until after reevaluating the client's response to the medication.

Option b is incorrect because teaching relaxation techniques may not provide immediate relief for acute pain.

Option c is incorrect because documenting the client's reaction to the administration of medication should be done after reevaluating their response to the medication.
