E. Bleeding tendencies: While bleeding tendencies are a concern for invasive procedures, they are not a contraindication for MRI.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Sodium and potassium: Frequent enemas can lead to electrolyte imbalances, particularly sodium and potassium depletion, due to fluid loss and altered intestinal absorption.

B. Selenium and zinc: These are trace elements, not commonly affected by enemas.

C. Magnesium and phosphorus: While imbalances in these electrolytes can occur in other conditions, enemas are more likely to impact sodium and potassium.

D. Calcium and chloride: Although chloride may be affected in severe cases, sodium and potassium are more routinely monitored following fluid and electrolyte disturbances caused by enemas.

A. time of death. B. which family members were notified. C. notification of the mortuary. D. time at which life signs ceased.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Time of death: The time of death is a crucial detail that needs to be accurately documented. It provides an official record of when life ceased and is necessary for legal and medical purposes.

B. Which family members were notified: While it's important to notify family members, documenting the specific individuals who were informed is not required unless it directly affects the care or legal processes.

C. Notification of the mortuary: While the notification of the mortuary is part of the post-death process, it typically falls under hospital procedures and would be documented by other departments. The nurse's role is more focused on clinical documentation at the time of death.

D. Time at which life signs ceased: The cessation of life signs, such as heart rate and respiration, is often recorded, but the time of death is the official documentation required. The time of death is typically used as the legal record.
