The nurse is reviewing the following laboratory results for a client. The nurse should recognize that the client is experiencing which of the following acid-base imbalances.   pH: 7.35 -7.45  PaCO2: 35 – 45  PaO2: 80 – 100  HCO3: 22 –26      pH 7.49           PaCO2 30         PaO2 79             HCO3 23

A nurse is caring for four clients. Which prescription by the health care provider would the nurse question and seek further clarification before administering?  Potassium: 3.5 mEq/L – 5.0 mEq/L  Sodium: 135 mEq/L – 145 mEq/L  Calcium: 8.5 mg/dL – 10.5 mg/dL  Magnesium: 1.6 mEq/L – 2.2 mEq/L 

From a competitive firm’s point of view, the key question regarding the higher wages paid to union members is whether the higher wage level: 

A provider is seeing 11 year old, with 3 younger siblings, in clinic for a well child check and notices a down trend in weight gain (not weight loss) and trending well on linear growth.   Reports 3 meals a day; breakfast and lunch at school.  Child reports feeling good about how they look.  Denies any recent illness; no fevers, vomiting or diarrhea.

A client who is semiconscious presents with restlessness and weakness. The nurse assesses a dry, swollen tongue, body temperature of 99.3 F, and a high urine specific gravity. What is the most likely serum sodium value for this client? Potassium: 3.5 mEq/L – 5.0 mEq/L  Sodium: 135 mEq/L – 145 mEq/L  Calcium: 8.5 mg/dL – 10.5 mg/dL  Magnesium: 1.6 mEq/L – 2.2 mEq/L   

A nurse is assessing a client who reports fever, shortness of breath, and productive green sputum. On examination, the nurse notes increased respiratory rate and dullness to percussion over the left lower lobe. Which combination of findings best supports a diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia?

If we were to observe above-equilibrium wages in a particular labor market, then a possible explanation might be that: 

Provider a brief rationale for “why” this palpation strategy is recommended

The market wage could be higher than the equilibrium wage if a worker:
