This is the best action for the PN to implement because it addresses the client's question and provides an opportunity to educate the client about the fecal diversion surgery and its outcomes. The PN should review the type, location, and appearance of the surgical opening (stoma) and explain how it will affect the client's elimination and body image.

This is the best action for the PN to use in assisting this client to deal with his pain because it provides a non- pharmacological method of pain relief that can enhance the effect of the opioid analgesic. Slow, rhythmic breathing can help the client relax, distract from the pain, and increase oxygenation and blood flow.

This is the best response for the PN to provide because it sets a clear and firm boundary for the adolescent and discourages inappropriate or sexual comments. The PN should also redirect the adolescent's atention to another topic or activity and document the incident.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss. It is often associated with increased intraocular pressure, which can compress the nerve fibers and reduce blood flow to the retina. The most common type of glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma, causes gradual loss of peripheral vision.

The other options are not correct because:

1. Macular edema is a condition that causes swelling and fluid accumulation in the macula, the central part of the retina that is responsible for sharp and detailed vision. It can cause blurred or distorted vision, but it does not affect the optic nerve or the peripheral vision.
2. Cataract is a condition that causes clouding of the lens, which is the transparent structure that focuses light onto the retina. It can cause blurred, dim, or yellowed vision, but it does not affect the optic nerve or the intraocular pressure.
3. Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that damages the blood vessels in the retina and causes bleeding, leakage, or scarring. It can cause blurred, fluctuating, or darkened vision, but it does not affect the optic nerve or the intraocular pressure.
4. 

This is the best intervention for the PN to implement because it relieves the muscle spasm and reduces the pain of a leg cramp. Leg cramps are common during pregnancy and labor due to changes in calcium levels, fluid balance, or pressure on nerves and blood vessels.

A thready pulse is a weak and rapid pulse that is easily obliterated by light pressure. It indicates poor blood flow and perfusion, and may be caused by conditions such as shock, dehydration, or hemorrhage.

The other options are not correct because:

1. A missing pulse is a pulse that is absent or cannot be detected, even with firm pressure. It indicates a complete blockage of blood flow, and may be caused by conditions such as arterial occlusion, embolism, or trauma.
2. Light pressure applied to pulse is not a documentation of the pulse quality, but a description of the technique used to palpate the pulse.
3. Pulse skips beats is a documentation of an irregular pulse rhythm, not a pulse volume. It indicates that the heart beats are unevenly spaced, and may be caused by conditions such as arrhythmia, stress, or caffeine intake.

This is the best action for the PN to take because it provides immediate relief for the client's pain, which can be severe and debilitating in Herpes zoster. The PN should also assess the client's pain level, location, and characteristics and document the response to the medication.

d. Escort the client to a calm and quiet place.

The PN should use a calm and firm approach to de-escalate the situation and remove the client from the stressful environment. This can help prevent further agitation and potential violence.

The other options are not correct because:

1. Instructing a UAP to stay with the client may not be effective or safe, as the UAP may not have the skills or training to handle an agitated client.
2. Notifying the client's healthcare provider is not a priority action, as it does not address the immediate safety of the client and others.
3. Administering a PRN medication for agitation may be indicated, but it is not the first action. The PN should try non- pharmacological interventions first, unless there is an imminent risk of harm.

This is the highest priority task and should be completed first because it ensures the safety and quality of care for the clients. The PN should check that all new prescriptions have been administered, documented, and reported as ordered and that there are no errors or omissions.
