The patient Free T3 concentration is increased. Normal range of free T3 is about 2-4pg/dl. Increased free T3 indicating a hyperthyroid condition. In this case, you need to determine whether the cause is central(TSH elevated) or peripheral (TSH normal) by testing TSH level. The patient might need anti thyroid drugs like <span>Propylthiouracil.</span>

The nurse is working with a client who has quit several jobs and no longer sends financial support to the client's two children
VARVARA [1.3K]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A) "How is not working right now affecting you?"

B) "How do you expect your kids to be provided for?"

C) "You need to somehow find a way to support your children."

D) "Can the children's mother can get by for a while until you get better?"

Answer:

A) "How is not working right now affecting you?"

Explanation:

According to the norms of responsible parenting, the client should be working to support his family. However due to his condition, he is not working right now. If the nurse would have addressed this problem directly, it could have sounded very negative and hurt the client's sentiments. Since he is already not keeping well, any such negative remark can further make him unwell.

Instead the nurse found a positive way to address this situation. She asked him about his feelings and experiences after quitting the job. In this way she is bringing up the topic of quitting the job but also taking in consideration the client's sentiments. When the client answers this question and the conversation begins, the nurse can subsequently inquire about his family and their financial issue too.

Describe the purpose and use of the talk test.
Dafna1 [17]

The talk test is a one of the easiest ways to monitor your exercise intensity.  You don't need any equipment, like a heart rate monitor.  All you really need is the ability to talk and breathe.

Whether you can do both at the same time is where your intensity comes in.
