A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has acute pancreatitis and a prescription for fat-soluble vitamin supplements.
Which of the following supplements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A rationale:

Obtaining the number of the client’s provider is not the immediate action to take. The client is showing signs of a possible stroke (right-sided weakness and slurred speech), which is a medical emergency.

Choice B rationale:

Finding a location for the client to sit is not the immediate action to take. The client needs medical attention immediately due to the signs of a possible stroke.

Choice C rationale:

Driving the client to the nearest emergency room is not the best action to take. It would be faster and safer to call emergency medical services who are trained to handle such situations.

Choice D rationale:

Calling emergency medical services is the correct action. The client is showing signs of a possible stroke, which requires immediate medical attention.

Choice A rationale:

Creating a 6 mm (1/4 in) bleb in the intradermal space of the forearm is the correct procedure for a Mantoux tuberculin skin test.

Choice B rationale:

Visualizing the tip of the needle under the skin is the correct procedure for a Mantoux tuberculin skin test.

Choice C rationale:

Stretching the skin tightly before injection is the correct procedure for a Mantoux tuberculin skin test.

Choice D rationale:

Withdrawing the needle and massaging the site gently is incorrect. Massaging the site can cause the test solution to disperse, which can affect the test results.
