A client with a long history of alcohol use disorder has been admitted to the emergency department after several of days of heavy drinking. The nurse can best promote the restoration of the client’s acid–base balance by: administering intravenous magnesium sulfate as prescribed. encouraging pursed-lip breathing and deep breathing and coughing exercises. positioning the client in an upright position when in bed and mobilizing the client frequently. administering intravenous sodium bicarbonate as prescribed.
