A nurse is caring for a client with hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia. The nurse should expect to administer which of the following priority treatments? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.

A.

Administer calcium binders

B.

Administer vitamin D supplements

C.

Administer fluids up to 3000 ml/day

D.

Administer Furosemide (Lasix) per orders

E.

Administer oral phosphates

Question Solution

Correct Answer : A,C,D

A. Calcium binders are used to help decrease the amount of calcium absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, thus lowering calcium levels in the blood.  

 

B. Vitamin D supplements would actually increase calcium levels by enhancing intestinal absorption, so this option is not appropriate in hypercalcemia.  

 

C. Administering fluids helps to dilute serum calcium levels and promote renal excretion of calcium, making it a priority treatment.  

 

D. Furosemide (Lasix) can help promote diuresis, thereby increasing the excretion of calcium through the urine, which is beneficial in managing hypercalcemia.  

 

E. Oral phosphates may be used in some cases to manage hypercalcemia, but they are not a first-line treatment and their administration should be carefully considered in conjunction with other treatments.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Miotic medications work by constricting the pupil, which opens the trabecular meshwork and facilitates the drainage of aqueous humor, thus lowering intraocular pressure in clients with glaucoma.

B. Miotics do not dilate the pupil; they constrict it. Dilation would actually increase intraocular pressure, which is not therapeutic in glaucoma.

C. While these medications do affect eye muscles, they do not specifically prevent blurred vision; their primary effect is on eye pressure.

D. Miotics do not block nerve responses; they work by direct action on the eye muscles to promote fluid drainage and reduce pressure.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. While reporting dizziness is important, it does not directly aid in managing vertigo episodes.

B. Instructing the client to get up slowly while turning their entire body helps to reduce vertigo symptoms by minimizing head movement, which can trigger or worsen dizziness in Meniere’s disease.

C. Driving is not recommended during symptomatic periods of vertigo, as it could be unsafe.

D. The logroll technique is typically used for clients with spinal issues rather than vertigo management in Meniere’s disease.
