"I shouldn't drink liquids while I have food in my mouth."

"I won't be able to eat nuts anymore."

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C,E,F

A.   "I will look up at the ceiling when I swallow.". The recommended position for swallowing is typically sitting upright with the chin slightly tucked.
B.   "I will have to stop watching television while I eat." This indicates an understanding of the importance of focusing on eating and avoiding distractions.
C.   "My food will have to be the consistency of pudding." This indicates understanding of the Level 3 dysphagia diet, which requires foods to be moist and easily swallowed.
D.   "I can have cream soups on this diet." While cream soups might seem like a good option, they can be too thick for a Level 3 dysphagia diet. The consistency should be more like a thin purée.
E.   "I shouldn't drink liquids while I have food in my mouth." This demonstrates understanding of the importance of avoiding choking hazards.
F.   "I won't be able to eat nuts anymore." This indicates understanding of the restrictions on hard, crunchy foods on a Level 3 dysphagia diet.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A high CVP, not a low CVP, is typically associated with fluid overload.
B. A low CVP indicates decreased fluid volume, which is characteristic of hypovolemia. This is particularly relevant to a patient with multiple traumas who may have significant blood loss.
C. While left ventricular failure can contribute to hemodynamic instability, it's not directly correlated with a low CVP.
D. This would affect the oxygenation status of the blood, rather than the overall blood volume and CVP.

Correct Answer is ["0.5"]

Explanation

Convert the prescribed dose of digoxin from micrograms to milligrams

1 mg equals 1000 mcg.

Therefore, 125 mcg is equivalent to 0.125 mg.

Since the available tablets are 0.25 mg each, you would divide the required dose (0.125 mg) by the strength of the available tablet (0.25 mg).

This calculation results in 0.5

The nurse should administer half a tablet per dose.
