Answer to Question 1

3
The most common cause of premature junctional complexes is digitalis toxicity. The nurse should check on the client's serum digoxin level. Oxygen, intravenous fluids, or position changes will not help treat this rhythm.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 6
Risks of anesthesia include adverse reaction to the anesthetic, nausea and vomiting, sore throat, seizure, myocardial infarction, hypothermia, malignant hyperthermia, numbness or loss of function of a body part, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Surgical wound infection is not a risk associated with anesthesia.
