A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has acute gout. The nurse should expect an increase in which of the following laboratory results?

B. Monitoring serum blood glucose during infusion is important because TPN can contain glucose, which may affect the client's blood glucose levels. Regular monitoring helps ensure glycemic control and prevents complications such as hyperglycemia.
C. Double-checking the TPN solution with another RN is a crucial safety measure to prevent medication errors and ensure that the correct solution is administered to the client.
E. Monitoring the client's weight daily is important for assessing fluid balance and adjusting the TPN infusion rate accordingly. Changes in weight can indicate fluid retention or loss, which may require adjustments to the TPN prescription.
A. TPN solutions must be administered according to the prescribed rate and schedule. Increasing the infusion rate without medical orders could lead to complications such as hyperglycemia or fluid overload.
D. TPN solutions are specifically formulated to meet the client's nutritional needs and cannot be substituted with other intravenous solutions like 0.9% sodium chloride.

D. Respite care services provide temporary relief and support for caregivers by offering short-term care for their loved ones. This allows caregivers to take a break, attend to their own needs, and prevent burnout. Recommending respite care services is a proactive approach to addressing the caregiver's exhaustion and ensuring the well-being of both the caregiver and the client with Alzheimer's disease.
A. The caregiver's exhaustion and irritability may be due to the stress of caregiving rather than intentional neglect or abuse.
B. Relying on medication to manage stress and sleep may not be the best long-term solution and can potentially lead to dependence or other adverse effects.
C. Contacting hospice services for end-of-life care is not appropriate for a client with moderate Alzheimer's disease unless the client's condition has progressed to a terminal stage. Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and support for individuals with a terminal illness who have a life expectancy of six months or less.
