The nurse cares for a client six hours post-operative following a transurethral resection of a prostate (TURP).

The client is demonstrating signs and symptoms of ?

Choice A rationale: Cellulitis management typically involves wound care, antibiotics, and monitoring. It's a suitable assignment for a new graduate nurse to begin learning about wound management and diabetic care.

Choice B rationale: Post-operative care for an amputation requires experience in assessing and managing post-surgical complications, which might not be suitable for a new graduate nurse.

Choice C rationale: Diabetic ketoacidosis management involves complex insulin therapy and critical care, which might be overwhelming for a new graduate nurse.

Choice D rationale: While hyperglycemia requires monitoring and intervention, the cause and severity need to be determined before assigning this patient to a new

graduate nurse.

Choice A rationale: A client with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may have gastroenteritis, food poisoning, or appendicitis, which are not directly related to the eyes.

Choice B rationale: A client with chest tightness and heartburn may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), angina, or myocardial infarction (MI), which are also not associated with the eyes.

Choice C rationale: A client with facial drooping and left-sided weakness may have a stroke, which is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. An eye examination can help detect signs of stroke, such as pupil asymmetry, visual field defects, or eye movement abnormalities. A stroke can cause permanent brain damage or death if not treated promptly.

Choice D rationale: A client with fatigue, fever, and productive cough may have a respiratory infection, such as pneumonia or tuberculosis, which are unlikely to affect the eyes unless there is a systemic complication.
