Answer to Question 1

1, 4
When administering an infusion of intralipids 10, the nurse should administer it with a filter. The nurse should not add medications and should not hang for more than 16 hours. The infusion should not be provided with 0.9 Normal Saline. The infusion should not be delivered for 24 hours. Strict output and oral fluid restriction is not necessary when providing intralipids to a client.

Symptoms of hypoxia include restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. Respirations of 16 and regular is a normal respiratory rate. Blood pressure of 110/60 mmHg is within normal limits. Periods of wakefulness being greater than periods of sleep is also a normal physiological finding.
