Question

1. A client’s serum phosphorus level is 5.5 mg/dL. Which clinical manifestations would the client exhibit?

Tetany and hypotension

Tetany and muscle weakness

Ataxia and hypertension

Muscle weakness and tremor

2. While assessing a child with glaucoma, the nurse uses a tonometry instrument. What is the purpose of this instrument?

To assess the iris of the eye

To assess the sclera of the eye

To assess the cornea of the eye

To assess the intraocular pressure

3. Which statement by the nurse to a client demonstrates an understanding of the factors responsible for the formation of different types of ureter stones?

“Prolonged use of indwelling catheters has predisposed you to uric acid stones.”

“You are likely to have developed cystine stones because your diet is excessively rich in animal proteins.”

“You are likely to have developed calcium stones because of a genetic predisposition.”

“Prolonged use of supplements has contributed to your developing calcium stones.”

Answer 1

Ans) Tetany and hypotension

Explaination:

Tetany or tetanic seizure is a medical sign consisting of the involuntary . An excess of phosphate (high phosphate-to-calcium ratio) can also trigger the spasms.

2)To assess the intraocular pressure

Explaination:

Tonometry is the procedure eye care professionals perform to determine the intraocular pressure (IOP), the fluid pressure inside the eye. It is an important test in the evaluation of patients at risk from glaucoma. Most tonometers are calibrated to measure pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

3)"Prolonged use of supplements has contributed to your developing calcium stones

Explaination:

- It is possible that long-term use of supplements causes hypercalciuria and hypercalcemia, and this can contribute to kidney stones. For these reasons, it is important to monitor blood and urine calcium levels in people who take these supplements on a long-term basis.
