A nurse using a clinical information system is required to document the same data in more than one area because the data do not “flow over” to the other areas and the data fields are not universally designed. Which of the following is lacking?

A patient with an arterial line has just been turned and repositioned. After leveling the transducer, what should the nurse do next?

1. Turn the stopcock closest to the patient to the neutral position. 2. Zero the transducer. 3. Increase the arterial line infusion to 5 mL/hour. 4. Prime the transducer system.

The client with is breathing 36 breaths per minute and has a SaO2 at 89%. Which is the best nursing diagnosis for this client?

1. Impaired tissue perfusion related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as evidenced by tachypnea and desaturation 2. Ineffective airway related to unknown etiology as evidenced by tachypnea and desaturation 3. Ineffective breathing pattern related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as evidenced by wheezing and breathlessness 4. Impaired gas exchange related to unknown cause as evidenced by tachypnea and desaturation

A patient with a right subclavian triple lumen catheter has a CVP reading of 18 mm Hg. The nurse would further assess the patient for symptoms of:

1. Peripheral edema and jugular vein distention 2. Decreased peripheral pulses and cool extremities 3. Hypovolemia and hypotension 4. Orbital edema and disorientation

A child has been diagnosed with Wilms' tumor, and is being treated with chemotherapy
