A client is admitted to the emergency department in diabetic ketoacidosis.  What fluids should the nurse expect to be administered over the next two hours?

A client who is taking corticosteroids daily for severe, acute asthma exacerbation now has an elevated blood glucose level. They ask the nurse if they are now considered a diabetic.  What response by the nurse is best?

A client with diabetes asks the nurse why it is necessary to maintain blood glucose levels no lower than about 60 mg/dL. Which is the nurse’s best response?

When taking the blood pressure of a client after a parathyroidectomy, the nurse notes that the client’s hand has gone into flexion contractions. Which laboratory result does the nurse correlate with this condition?

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population mean μ. Assume that the population has a normal distribution.The football coach randomly selected 15 players and timed how long each player took to perform a certain drill. The times (in minutes) were:7.0     10.8    9.5    8.0    11.5    7.5     6.4    11.3    10.2    12.6     8.5    6.8    8.5     9.8     11.9   Determine a 96% confidence interval for the mean time for all players.

a) (2pts)  Find the area/probability under the standard normal curve to the right of z = -1.25. b) (2pts) Find the z-score for which the area under the standard normal curve to its right is 0.70.  

A study of the amount of time it takes a mechanic to rebuild the transmission for a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier shows that the mean is 8.4 hours and the standard deviation is 1.8 hours. If 40 mechanics are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean rebuild time exceeds 8.7 hours. a) (1pt) Define x-bar:  b) (1pt) Explain why  x-bar is normal c)  (3pts) Find the probability that their mean rebuild time exceeds 8.7 hours. 

Use the given information to find the minimum sample size required to estimate an unknown population mean μ.How many students must be randomly selected to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college? We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within $4 of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be $65. (3pts)
