    Hesi RN Exit Proctored Exam

    The charge nurse is making assignments for one practical nurse (PN) and three registered nurses (RN) who are caring for neurologically compromised clients. Which client with which change in status is best to assign to the PN?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The client with viral meningitis and a slight increase in temperature can be managed by a PN, as this change in status is less acute and requires standard nursing care and monitoring. B. The client with myxedema coma experiencing a significant drop in blood pressure requires more complex and immediate intervention by an RN due to the critical nature of the condition. C. The client with a subdural hematoma and a significant change in blood pressure needs close monitoring and potential interventions by an RN, given the risk of increased intracranial pressure. D. The client with diabetic ketoacidosis and a decreased Glasgow Coma Scale score is in a critical state requiring close monitoring and management by an RN.
