The nurse is preparing the client assignments for the day to a licensed practical nurse (LPN) and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which client should the nurse assign to the LPN? (Select all that apply)

Choice A reason: Decreased central venous pressure is not typically associated with glomerulonephritis. This condition often leads to fluid retention and increased pressure within the blood vessels.

Choice B reason: Hypertension is a common manifestation of glomerulonephritis due to fluid retention and impaired kidney function. The kidneys are unable to excrete excess fluid, leading to increased blood pressure.

Choice C reason: Bradycardia is not typically associated with glomerulonephritis. The condition primarily affects kidney function and fluid balance, rather than heart rate.

Choice D reason: Decreased cardiac output can occur in severe cases of acute kidney injury, but it is not a primary manifestation of glomerulonephritis. Monitoring blood pressure and fluid status is more critical in these patients.

Choice A reason: Prolonged bleeding is not a direct indicator of hyperkalemia. It is more commonly associated with coagulation disorders or conditions affecting blood clotting.

Choice B reason: Dry mucous membranes are more indicative of dehydration rather than hyperkalemia. Dehydration can result from a variety of conditions but is not specific to high potassium levels.

Choice C reason: Peaked T-waves on an electrocardiogram (ECG) are a classic sign of hyperkalemia. Elevated potassium levels affect the cardiac conduction system, leading to characteristic changes in the ECG, such as tall, peaked T-waves, widened QRS complexes, and flattened P-waves.

Choice D reason: Polyuria (excessive urination) is not typically associated with hyperkalemia. It is more commonly seen in conditions like diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus.
