A client with liver dysfunction has low serum levels of thrombin. The nurse provides care, anticipating that this client is most at risk of
- A. Dehydration
- B. Malnutrition
- C. Bleeding
- D. Infection
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Thrombin is produced by the liver and is necessary for normal clotting. When a client with liver dysfunction has low serum levels of thrombin, they are at risk of bleeding due to impaired clotting mechanisms. Dehydration (choice A) is not directly related to low thrombin levels. Malnutrition (choice B) may impact overall health but is not the most immediate concern associated with low thrombin levels. Infection (choice D) is not directly related to the clotting function affected by low thrombin levels.
A client is providing instructions to a client who is scheduled for an oral cholecystogram. The nurse tells the client to
- A. Eat a fat-free meal on the evening before the procedure.
- B. Maintain strict NPO status on the day of the procedure.
- C. Avoid oral intake except for water on the day of the procedure.
- D. Eat a high-fat meal for breakfast on the day of the procedure.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For an oral cholecystogram, the client should eat a fat-free meal the evening before the procedure and avoid oral intake except for water on the day of the procedure. During the test, the client may be given a high-fat meal or drink to stimulate gallbladder emptying. Choice A is incorrect because the client should have a fat-free meal, not a high-fat meal. Choice B is incorrect as strict NPO status is not required. Choice D is incorrect as a high-fat meal is not recommended for breakfast on the day of the procedure.
