Question 4 of 5
Which action by the client indicates an acceptance of his recent amputation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asking about a prosthesis indicates the client is planning for future mobility and adapting to the amputation, a strong sign of acceptance. Verbalizing acceptance is less specific, looking at the site may indicate curiosity or distress, and silence suggests denial or withdrawal.
Question 5 of 5
Prochlorperazine maleate (Compazine) 10 mg IM has been ordered for a client.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Prochlorperazine (Compazine) is incompatible with other medications in the same syringe, so it must be drawn and administered separately from Stadol. Monitoring vital signs (e.g., blood pressure for orthostatic hypotension) is important but not the priority before administration. Dilution and route verification are unnecessary.
