Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5, 6
Clinical manifestations for a client diagnosed with chronic renal failure are many. Some of these manifestations include left ventricular dysfunction, anemia, constipation; prickly burning sensation of the extremities, and restless legs. Diarrhea is not a common clinical manifestation of this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

3
The first priority for the nurse is to monitor cardiac and respiratory status. Cardiac status can be impaired because of changes in potassium levels, and fluid balance can be impaired because of sodium, affecting the respiratory status. After the client is stabilized, the nurse can assist the client with activities of daily living.
