The elderly client is admitted to the intensive care department diagnosed with severe HHNS. Which collaborative intervention should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
IV normal saline corrects severe dehydration in HHNS, a priority collaborative intervention. Insulin is secondary, daily glucose checks are insufficient, and ABGs are less critical in HHNS.
