Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is being discharged from the hospital. Which medication should the nurse expect the HCP to prescribe?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aspirin prevents platelet aggregation, reducing stroke risk post-TIA, per AHA guidelines.
Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is bathing a client who is comatose and the radio is playing current rock music. The client has tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Baroque music (slow, calming) may reduce tachycardia and BP in a comatose client, per music therapy principles. No action ignores symptoms, medication is premature, and repositioning is unrelated.
