Answer to Question 1

1,3
Rationale 1: One of the treatment recommendations for overdose is increasing intravenous fluid rate.
Rationale 2: An allergic skin reaction is not likely and is not a priority.
Rationale 3: Propofol (Diprivan) causes respiratory depression. Close monitoring is indicated.
Rationale 4: There is no reason to have an immediate calcium level drawn.
Rationale 5: Administering a benzodiazepine would complicate the patient's care.

Global Rationale: One of the treatment recommendations for overdose is increasing intravenous fluid rate. Propofol (Diprivan) causes respiratory depression. Close monitoring is indicated. An allergic skin reaction is not likely and is not a priority. . There is no reason to have an immediate calcium level drawn. Administering a benzodiazepine would complicate the patient's care.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Clients are at greater risk for thrombolytic disease, which can result in MI, stroke, and TIA.
Rationale 2: Transient ischemic attack can occur as a result of thromboembolic disease.
Rationale 3: Myocardial infarction can occur as a result of thromboembolic disease.
Rationale 4: Stroke can occur as a result of thromboembolic disease.
Global Rationale: Clients are at greater risk for thrombolytic disease, which can result in MI, stroke, and TIA. Transient ischemic attack can occur as a result of thromboembolic disease. Myocardial infarction can occur as a result of thromboembolic disease. Stroke can occur as a result of thromboembolic disease.
