Patient Data Exhibits Data is evaluated to determine possible condition and appropriate interventions. Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices area to specify which condition the client is most likely experiencing, two actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and two parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.

Rationale for Correct Choices: Alcohol withdrawal: The client's tachycardia, low-grade fever, tremulousness, agitation, and recent cessation of alcohol use suggest early alcohol withdrawal. The presence of a 10-year drinking history and neurological symptoms also supports this condition. Implement seizure precautions: Seizure risk increases in alcohol withdrawal, especially within 6–48 hours of last intake. Safety measures are essential to reduce harm from potential seizures during detoxification. Infuse thiamine: Chronic alcohol use often causes thiamine deficiency, which can lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy. Thiamine should be administered before glucose to prevent neurologic complications. Seizure activity: Monitoring for seizures is crucial as withdrawal-related seizures are a common and dangerous complication in alcohol-dependent clients undergoing detox. Vital signs: Autonomic instability (e.g., elevated blood pressure and heart rate) occurs during withdrawal. Frequent monitoring can help detect progression to delirium tremens. Rationale for Incorrect Choices: Increased intracranial pressure: Although the client has a head laceration, there is no loss of consciousness, vomiting, or abnormal GCS, making ICP less likely as the primary concern at this stage. Pneumonia: There is no productive cough, lung involvement, abnormal lung sounds, or elevated white blood cell count to indicate pneumonia. Anaphylaxis: The client’s symptoms do not suggest an allergic reaction, there is no rash, airway involvement, or sudden hypotension. Administer albuterol: This is used for bronchospasm or asthma. The client has no respiratory distress, wheezing, or bronchoconstriction signs requiring bronchodilators. Call rapid response: The client is stable and alert, with no sudden life-threatening deterioration, so rapid response is not necessary. Insert central venous pressure (CVP) monitor: CVP monitoring is invasive and reserved for critically ill patients needing fluid status evaluation, not indicated in early alcohol withdrawal. White blood cells: WBC count is more relevant for infection monitoring, which is not currently the primary issue in this presentation. Glasgow Coma Scale: Although helpful if neurological deterioration is suspected, the client is alert and interactive, making GCS unnecessary as a routine measure in this case. Monitor intracranial pressure (ICP): There is no evidence of head trauma severity or neurological decline warranting ICP monitoring at this time.
