Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client with suspected hypovolemic shock. Which finding is most indicative?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tachycardia is an early sign of hypovolemic shock as the body compensates for reduced blood volume by increasing heart rate.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who is prescribed salmeterol (Serevent). The nurse should instruct the client to:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator used twice daily for maintenance therapy in COPD.
Question 3 of 5
When you are monitoring your client who is now started on an intravenous antibiotic for an infection, you notice that the client is exhibiting signs of anaphylaxis. What is your first priority intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stopping the IV flow is the first priority to halt the administration of the allergen causing anaphylaxis, followed by other emergency interventions.
Question 4 of 5
A client has been taking furosemide (Lasix) for 2 days. The nurse should assess the client for:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can cause hypokalemia, requiring assessment for decreased potassium levels.
Question 5 of 5
Your 87 year old client has a history of heart disease and fibromyalgia. This client has an internal pacemaker and is also a diabetic client. During your annual visit with this client, the client tells you that they would like to begin some alternative and homeopathic health care practices. What should you include in your teaching plan for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Prayer is a safe and evidence-supported complementary practice that can help reduce stress and pain, suitable for this client. There is insufficient evidence for magnets in fibromyalgia treatment, and biofeedback is not contraindicated for pacemakers. Not all herbs lack scientific evidence, so option A is overly broad.
