The nurse is assessing a client diagnosed with Addison's disease for signs of hyperkalemia. What should the nurse observe with this electrolyte imbalance?

Choice A reason: Administering an extra dose of albuterol at bedtime is not appropriate. The correct approach is to manage bronchial secretions through other means, such as hydration.

Choice B reason: Using a dehumidifier is not recommended for clients with respiratory issues. A humidifier, not a dehumidifier, helps keep the air moist and can help with secretions.

Choice C reason: Increasing the amount of fluids consumed helps to thin bronchial secretions, making them easier to cough up. Hydration is an effective method to manage secretions and improve respiratory function.

Choice D reason: Increasing daily exercise can be beneficial for overall health but is not the primary method to clear bronchial secretions. Hydration is more directly effective in this situation.

Choice A reason: Hypotension (low blood pressure) is not a typical manifestation of the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. In fact, during this phase, patients are more likely to experience hypertension due to fluid overload.

Choice B reason: Hyperglycemia is not directly related to acute kidney injury. While blood sugar levels can be affected by various factors, they are not a specific manifestation of this condition.

Choice C reason: Weight loss is unlikely in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. Instead, patients might experience weight gain due to fluid retention.

Choice D reason: Pulmonary edema is a common manifestation in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. This phase is characterized by decreased urine output, leading to fluid overload and subsequent complications such as pulmonary edema, where fluid accumulates in the lungs.
