Feedback
A Correct: The nurse would expect this client with a 133 mEq/L sodium level to be experiencing headache, muscle weakness, and abdominal cramps. Normal sodium level for a child is 135-148 mEq/L so this client has hyponatremia or low serum sodium level.
B Incorrect: Flushed skin, an elevated temperature, and intense thirst are symptoms of hypernatremia or increased serum sodium level.
C Incorrect: The nurse would not expect this client with a 133 mEq/L sodium level to have a slow pulse rate, decreased respirations, and elevated blood pressure.
D Incorrect: The nurse would not expect this client with a 133 mEq/L sodium level to appear perfectly normal because this is a normal serum sodium level for a child. This is a low serum sodium level.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
