Upon assessment, the nurse finds the client to have enlarged facial features and hands. The nurse correlates these findings with a disorder of which hormone?

A nurse and unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for a client post transsphenoidal hypophysectomy. The UAP reports to the nurse he has filled the client’s water pitcher four times during the shift. What is the best action the nurse should take?

A nurse is planning care for a client who has a new diagnosis of diabetes insipidus. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care? Select all that apply. 

Identify this tissue type.  

Identify the structure (white arrow)  

A left lateral chest image obtained with the patient’s left side rotated anteriorly demonstrates the:   

_____________                is the recommended minimum angle for slings.

For fill in the blanks, use ‘ to denote feet, ” to denote inches, lb to denote pounds, mph for miles per hour, use number format per graph and tables but add units.  Using the Grove GRT880 data sheets, fill in the blanks (p.11): Stationary, 22,000 lb counterweight and no boom extensions: Maximum Rated Capacity at a radius of 40’ ____________ [one] Maximum boom length that can be used disregarding the radius________[two] Maximum Rated Capacity at largest possible boom length (any radius) ____________[three] Capacity at radius of 35; and boom length of 51.6’ ___________[four]  % of tipping load used for determining the capacity of the crane in this table _________ [five]

Calculate the counterweight needed to lift a load of 30,000 lb for with following crane configuration. Wr = 30,000 lbs Wm = 60,000 lbs Wb = 15,000 lbs dm = 35’ d = 80’ db = 65’ Wcw = ? dcw = 50’  

To set up some roof equipment, we are using a Grove GRT880. The crane is setup the following way:   Fully extended outriggers Counterweight of 22,000 lb Hook block is 9.9′ long and weighs 1,150 lbs Configuration of the jobsite is as follows: Pick up point location (radius) – 60’ pick up point height – 10′ from ground Set point location (radius) – 75’ Set point height – Top of building Five Story building. Each floor is 13’ high 6’ high parapet on roof Rigging Configuration Height of equipment to be hauled – 15’ Weight of equipment to be hauled – 10,000 lbs Lifting beam is W18X46 and is 15 ft long (weight is 46 lb/ft) Wire ropes total weight is 90 lbs (1/2″ diameter ) 1. What boom length do we need to use to set up the load on top of the roof?  2. What is the capacity of the crane in the configuration needed to lift the load on top of the building? 3. Calculate the total load to be lifted. Is the capacity of the crane enough to handle the load? 4. Keeping the same configuration and based on its capacity, what is the maximum load (equipment load only, after subtracting slings, lifting beam or hookblock) that can be safely lifted and setup on top of the building?
