The answer to question 1

2
Intrinsic distortion occurs when information is passed from one person to another through an interpreter. Distortions can occur through vocal tones, eye contact, phrasing, and body language. Extrinsic distortion occurs when the interpreter is improperly prepared due to not being familiar with medical terminology or regional dialect issues. Stereotyping and conflict are not communication issues.

The answer to question 2

1, 4, 5, 6
Client barriers to sufficient pain management include fear that the disease is worse, fear of becoming addicted to pain medication, fear of side effects, and concern about being labeled as a bad client. Insufficient health plan benefits to pay for the medication and cultural background preventing the use of pain medication are not identified client barriers to sufficient pain management.

The answer to question 3

125 gtts/min
RAT: 1000 mL/8 hours = 125 mL/hr; 125 mL/60 minutes  60 gtts/mL = 125 gtts/min

The answer to question 4

1
Stereotyping is generalizing characteristics of a culture as being the same for everyone within that cultural group. The nurse should avoid stereotyping when conducting assessments with clients of different cultures. The nurse is not demonstrating diversity, cultural sensitivity, or time management.

The answer to question 5

2, 5, 6
Adjuvant medications can enhance analgesic effect and include antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and corticosteroids. Antihypertensives, antibiotics, and antiemetics are not considered adjuvant medications for pain control.
