Some key points include: - ADH releases sodium and water and K+ helps regulate electrolyte balance. Limit protein for clients with kidney issues except nephrotic syndrome. Monitor daily I&O and weights for any fluid issues. - Elevate veins and dangle arteries, arteries transport oxygenated blood away from the heart. Respiratory acidosis presents as hypoxia, kidney problems present as abnormal HCO3 levels. - Prioritize emergent issues like life threats over urgent or non-urgent needs. Pain alone is not a priority. Follow Maslow's hierarchy of needs. - With restless clients
