The nurse teaches the client to have glucose tablets and subcutaneous glucagon available because these are the appropriate treatments for hypoglycemia. Glucose tablets can quickly raise blood sugar levels, while subcutaneous glucagon can be used if the client is unable to consume oral glucose. This is important for a client with type 1 diabetes mellitus who is at risk for hypoglycemia. The other options are not relevant to the management of hypoglycemia.

It is important for nurses to be aware of the fire safety regulations and the fire prevention practices of the agency in which they work. When a fire occurs, the nurse follows four sequential priorities: protect and evacuate clients who are in immediate danger, report the fire, contain the fire, and extinguish the fire.

The correct answer is "their bowels begin to function again, and they begin to pass gas". This is the correct statement because the nasogastric tube is used to decompress the stomach and prevent the accumulation of fluids and gas. Once the client's bowels begin to function again and they are passing gas, it indicates that their gastrointestinal system is functioning properly and there is no longer a need for the nasogastric tube.

Apple juice is the correct response because it is less likely to produce irritation to the gastric mucosa. Tomato juice and grapefruit juice are acidic and can aggravate the condition. Pineapple juice contains bromelain, which can cause irritation to the stomach lining. Apple juice, on the other hand, has a lower acidity level and is generally well-tolerated by individuals with hiatal hernia.

The reason for telling a client with an ileostomy to avoid high-fiber foods is because high-fiber foods can be difficult to digest and may cause blockages or discomfort in the digestive system. Since the ileostomy bypasses a portion of the small intestine, it is important to avoid foods that could potentially cause complications. Instead, the client should focus on consuming low-fiber foods that are easier to digest.

Fludrocortisone acetate is a synthetic corticosteroid that mimics the effects of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Aldosterone is responsible for regulating electrolyte balance in the body, specifically sodium and potassium levels. By administering fludrocortisone acetate to a client with Addison's disease, the nurse is helping to maintain electrolyte balance by increasing sodium reabsorption and promoting potassium excretion. This helps to prevent imbalances that can occur due to the adrenal glands' inability to produce enough cortisol.

When demonstrating colostomy care, the nurse should make the opening of the appliance slightly larger than that of the client's stoma. This allows for a better fit and prevents any irritation or damage to the stoma. Making the opening 1/8 inch larger ensures that the appliance will fit comfortably and securely around the stoma without causing any discomfort or leakage.

The most common portal of entry for microorganisms associated with sepsis is the urinary tract. Sepsis can occur when bacteria from a urinary tract infection enter the bloodstream, leading to a severe infection throughout the body. This is a common route of entry for microorganisms because the urinary tract is in close proximity to the bloodstream, allowing bacteria to easily spread and cause systemic infection.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for minimizing exposure to hazards. When changing linens and caring for an incontinent client, a nurse should wear gloves and a gown. These protective items safeguard the nurse from contact with urine and ensure proper infection control practices in healthcare settings.

Feeding the child some burnt bread is the correct advice to give in this situation. Burnt bread, specifically charcoal, is known to have adsorptive properties that can help absorb certain toxins in the stomach and prevent them from being absorbed into the bloodstream. This can be helpful in cases of poisoning, as it may reduce the toxicity of the ingested substance. However, it is important to note that this advice should be given in conjunction with seeking immediate medical attention, as professional medical assistance is crucial in cases of poisoning.
