A client was successfully extubated after several days of sedation and mechanical ventilation and is currently receiving 40% oxygen via a face mask. While making rounds, the nurse finds the client confused and attempting to get out of bed. Current vital signs are an oral temperature 99.2°F (37.3° C), heart rate 112 beats/minutes, respirations 16 breaths/minute, blood pressure 100/70 mm Hg, and an oxygen saturation of 98%. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

A client admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is intubated and placed on assist-control mechanical ventilation. When suctioning pulmonary secretions from the endotracheal tube (ETT) using a closed suction system, which action should the nurse implement to ensure that the client receives adequate oxygenation?

The nurse is caring for a client with massive gastrointestinal bleeding from a gastric ulcer who received 6 units packed red blood cells (PRBCs) and 2 units fresh frozen plasma (FFP). The most recent laboratory results are a hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL (4.96 mmol/L), platelets of 82,000/mm3 (82 X 109/L), a prothrombin time (PT) of 11.1 seconds, an international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.9, and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) of 58 seconds. Vital signs are a heart rate of 110 beats/minute, respirations of 24 breaths/minute, a blood pressure of 80/50 mm Hg, and an oxygen saturation of 94% on 4 L/minute oxygen via nasal canula. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?

Reference Range:

• Hemoglobin [14 to 18 g/dL (8.69 to 11.17 mmol/L)]
• Platelets [150,000 to 400,000/mm3 (150 to 400 x 109/L)]
• Prothrombin time (PT) [11.0 to 12.5 seconds]
• International Normalized Ratio (INR) [0.8 to 1.1]
• Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) [60 to 70 seconds]

An adult client with a closed head injury was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) one hour ago following a motor vehicle collision. The client's telemetry displays normal sinus rhythm. After placing an intraventricular cannula for intracranial pressure monitoring, the healthcare provider (HCP) prescribes protocols for IV infusions of mannitol and dopamine. Which nursing intervention has the highest priority?

A 55-year-old male client is brought to the emergency department by his spouse due to sudden weakness, dizziness, and confusion. The spouse states that the client has had persistent fatigue and nausea for the past few days but suddenly became disoriented and lethargic this morning. The client also reports severe abdominal pain and muscle cramps.

Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices area to specify which condition the client is most likely experiencing, two actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and two parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.

The healthcare provider (HCP) changes a prescription for a nitroglycerin IV infusion from 10 mcg/min to 15 mcg/min. The IV bag contains nitroglycerin 50 mg in dextrose 5% in water (DW) 250 mL. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

A client is being prepared for discharge. The client's discharge plan includes resuming the lower dose of lithium and continuing to take desmopressin in oral form. The nurse teaches the client about safety measures.

The client is a 43-year-old male who had a surgical removal of a benign tumor from the left hemisphere of his brain. The client's estimated blood loss (EBL) is 100 mL during surgical procedure. There were no complications. Vital signs remained stable throughout the procedure. The client will be admitted to the neurological intensive care unit for monitoring.
