69. The nurse is caring for a client who takes oral potassium chloride 20 mEg daily and is scheduled to have the 9am dose. The client reports new palpitations and nausea. What actions by the nurse are appropriate? Select all that apply Encourage the client to drink a glass of orange juice Request an extra dose of potassium from the healthcare provider Request a prescription for serum electrolytes STAT Give the client the 9am scheduled dose now Obtain a 12 lead EKG

The level of various substances in the blood influences our health. Here are measurements of the level of phosphate in the blood of a patient, in milligrams of phosphate per deciliter of blood, made on 6 consecutive visits to a clinic: 5.6,5.2,4.6 , $4.9,5.7,6.4 .$ A graph of only 6 observations gives little information, so we proceed to compute the mean and standard deviation.
