A nurse administers 100 oxygen to a client during and after electroconvulsive therapy treatment (ECT). What is the rationale for this procedure?
 
  1. To prevent increased intracranial pressure resulting from anoxia.
  2. To prevent decreased blood pressure, pulse, and respiration owing to electrical stimulation.
  3. To prevent anoxia resulting from medication-induced paralysis of respiratory muscles.
  4. To prevent blocked airway, resulting from seizure activity.

Question 2

During an intake assessment, a nurse asks both physiological and psychosocial questions. The client angrily responds, I'm here for my heart, not my head problems. Which is the nurse's best response?
 
  1. It's just a routine part of our assessment. All clients are asked these same questions.
  2. Why are you concerned about these types of questions?
  3. Psychological factors, like excessive stress, have been found to affect medical conditions.
  4. We can skip these questions, if you like. It isn't imperative that we complete this section.

Rationale: The nurse should attempt to educate the client on the negative effects of excessive stress on medical conditions. It is not appropriate to skip physiological and psychosocial questions, as this would lead to an inaccurate assessment.
