Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The drug of choice for managing status epilepticus is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diazepam is the first-line treatment for status epilepticus due to its rapid onset in stopping seizures.
Question 2 of 5
A client is scheduled for a myelogram. Which of the following medications orders should be questioned?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ibuprofen (Motrin) has anticoagulant properties, increasing bleeding risk during a myelogram, a procedure involving spinal puncture. Other medications are safer.
Question 3 of 5
The postoperative client on hydrocodone becomes hypoxic, and naloxone is administered per protocol. What is most important for the nurse to consider in the follow-up care of this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After naloxone administration for opioid-induced hypoxia, monitoring respiratory status is critical as naloxone's effects are short-acting, and respiratory depression may recur. Documentation is important but secondary, changing analgesics is not immediate, and drug interactions are less urgent.

While assessing the vital signs in children, the nurse should know that the apical heart rate is preferred until the radial pulse can be accurately assessed at about what age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 2 years of age. A child should be at least 2 years of age to use the radial pulse to assess heart rate.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse in the outpatient care facility is caring for a client who is blind. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
