Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The client's potassium levels are not as likely to be affected by total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
Rationale 2: Hyperglycemia may occur, as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions contain concentrated amounts of glucose.
Rationale 3: The client's mental status should not be affected by total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
Rationale 4: Blood pressure is not an essential assessment because of total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
Global Rationale: Hyperglycemia may occur, as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions contain concentrated amounts of glucose. The client's potassium levels are not as likely to be affected by total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The client's mental status should not be affected by total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Blood pressure is not an essential assessment because of receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN).

Answer to Question 2

1, 4

Rationale 1: Beta is a subtype of norepinephrine receptor.
Rationale 2: Delta is not a subtype of norepinephrine receptor.
Rationale 3: Epsilon is not a subtype of norepinephrine receptor.
Rationale 4: Alpha is a subtype of norepinephrine receptor.
Rationale 5: Pi is not a subtype of norepinephrine receptor.

Global Rationale: Alpha and beta are subtypes of norepinephrine receptors. Delta, epsilon, and pi are not subtypes of norepinephrine receptors.
