A patient is brought to the hospital unconscious and is a known diabetic patient. The medic was unable to get a bedside glucose

reading. Upon analysis, the laboratorian got a glucose reading of 800++ mg/dL. The ++ means the concentration is higher than the analyzer can read. As a laboratorian, explain how you would do a 1/2 dilution and what the patients actual result is if the analyzer reports a 459 mg/dL sugar following the dilution.

Answer: 918 mg/dl would be the actual blood glucose level. 459 X 2 = 918.

The lab technician adds equal amounts of the plasma sample to an equal amount of the dilution, ie 1:1.

Answer: The intervention that the nurse should implement first is Place a mask on the client’s face. Option B

Explanation:

Flu- like cough symptoms should be handled first by the nurse by placing a mask on the client' s face. This will help minimise the spread of causative agent to other patients, health staff and family members around the affected patient. The combination of cough and flu-like fever may be an indication of influenza infection and as such, be treated until proven otherwise.

Answer:

90%

Explanation:

When the Europeans arrived, carrying germs which thrived in dense, semi-urban populations, the indigenous people of the Americas were effectively doomed.

When caring for a client who's being treated for hyperthyroidism, the nurse should?
valkas [14]

When caring for a client who's being treated for hyperthyroidism, the nurse should balance the client's periods of activity and rest.

  • Encouragement is needed to balance periods of exercise and rest for a client with hyperthyroidism.
  • Many patients with hyperthyroidism report feeling overheated and being hyperactive.
  • As a result, it's crucial to maintain a cool environment and teach the client how to control his physical reactions to heat.
  • Instead of hyperthyroidism, clients with hypothyroidism complain of being cold and require warm clothing and blankets to stay at a suitable temperature.
  • Additionally, they get thyroid replacement medicine, frequently experience fatigue and sluggishness, and have a propensity for constipation. To avoid constipation, the nurse should motivate clients with hypothyroidism to be more active.
