Case summary:
Mr. Kyle Foulard just regained his health back after suffering from a crisis of acute diabetic. He is prescribed ACE that is angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and a thiazide diuretic. He is given counseling on the significance of taking his medications on time and to follow his check-up routine on time. The following tests were obtained before he was discharged:

- Give typed explanation of all three otherwise leave it Answer the following questions: 1) The client for whom you are caring had the following for breakfast: 4 fluid ounces of milk, 6 fluid ounces of coffee, scrambled eggs, and one piece of toast. The client voided 4 fluid ounces of urine this morning. What is the person's fluid intake in millilitres? What is the person's fluid output in millilitres? 2) You are assisting with a 24-hour urine collection on a client assigned to your care. The client is in the dining room and chooses not to return to his room to collect the specimen; instead he voids in the nearest bathroom. Is it okay to just collect one extra sample and continue the collection? 3.You are caring for a client with Clostridium difficile.What precautions should you follow?arrow_forwardprovide handwritten solutionarrow_forwardRECORD THE HOURLY INTAKE AND OUTPUT USING THE TABLE PROVIDED.

- In this case, a 72-year-old man with a medical history that includes hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease with stent implantation, and congestive heart failure is hospitalized for dyspnea while at rest. Despite salt restriction and diuretics, he continued to have swelling in his legs for four weeks. His L ejection fraction (EF) is 40 percent, which is excellent. Humalog (75/25) 20 units QD, furosemide 40 mg BID, metolazone 2.5 mg QD, spironolactone 12.5 mg QD, carvedilol 12.5 mg BID, ramipril 10 mg QD, atorvastatin 40 mg QD, clopidogrel 75 mg QD, and aspirin 81 mg QD are among the medications prescribed. The patient's blood pressure was 100/60 mmHg, his pulse was 102 beats/min, he had JVD, crackles, an S3, a positive hepatojugular reflex, and pitting edema that reached his knees. Na+ concentrations were 134 mEq/L, K+ concentrations were 3.8 mEq/L, Cl concentrations were 90 mEq/L, HCO3 concentrations were 28 mEq/L, BUN concentrations were 46 mg/dL, creatinine…arrow_forwardA patient has been admitted onto the ward on which you are working today. Mr Smith, who is 65 years old, has been diagnosed with bacterial prostatitis. The doctor has chosen to treat with ciprofloxacin and needs to know the regimen to start Mr Smith on. Mr Smith has suspected renal impairment, so is necessary to calculate his creatinine clearance and consider the information from the SPC excerpt. You may find the information below useful.
