A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a child who has asthma about the administration of montelukast. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Based on the given information, the nurse should take the following actions in preparation for surgery:

• Obtain a complete blood count: This is important to assess the client's hemoglobin, hematocrit, and other blood parameters before surgery.
• Prepare the client for insertion of an 18-gauge peripheral IV prior to surgery: Adequate IV access is necessary for the administration of fluids and medications during and after surgery.
• Administer Rh, D immune globulin prior to surgery: This action is indicated if the client is Rh-negative and there is a possibility of fetal-maternal blood mixing during the termination of pregnancy. Rh, D immune globulin is given to prevent sensitization to Rh-positive blood.
• Verify consent form is signed by the client: Ensuring that the client has provided informed consent is essential before proceeding with any surgical intervention.
• Remind the client to be NPO (nothing by mouth) prior to surgery: It is important for the client to have an empty stomach to reduce the risk of aspiration during anesthesia.

The following actions are not indicated based on the given information:

• Explaining the surgical procedure to the client: Although it is important for the client to have an understanding of the procedure, this is typically done by the surgeon rather than the nurse.
• Assisting with administration of AB positive blood products if needed: There is no indication of the need for blood products based on the information provided. Blood product administration would be determined based on the client's specific condition and surgical requirements.

A.a. Heart rate (98/min): A heart rate of 98/min is within the normal range for adults (60-100 bpm). This does not indicate an immediate need for further evaluation based on the provided data.

B.Blood pressure (112/88 mmHg): The blood pressure reading is within normal limits. This does not suggest an immediate concern.

C. Temperature: The client reports a low-grade fever (38.1°C or 100.5°F), which suggests an ongoing infection or inflammatory process. Further evaluation is necessary.

D.Respiratory complaint: A productive cough with blood-tinged sputum, especially in combination with symptoms such as fatigue, night sweats, and weight loss, is concerning and warrants further evaluation for possible serious conditions such as tuberculosis (TB) or other respiratory infections.

e.Oxygen saturation (98% on room air):The oxygen saturation is normal. This finding does not indicate an immediate need for further evaluation.

F.Weight loss: The client reports a significant weight loss of 26 kg (5 lbs) over the past week. Unintentional weight loss can be a concerning symptom and may indicate an underlying medical condition that requires further investigation.

G.Sputum characteristics: Blood-tinged sputum, especially with other symptoms like cough, fever, and night sweats, can be indicative of serious conditions such as TB or other respiratory infections and needs further evaluation.

H.Travel history: Recent travel to a region where certain infectious diseases are prevalent (such as TB) is a critical factor that requires further evaluation in the context of the client's symptoms.
