Question 1 of 5

Which of the following side effects is associated with androgen therapy?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Androgen therapy promotes male secondary sexual characteristics leading to virilization (e.g. deepened voice facial hair). Gynecomastia is associated with estrogen and increased appetite or euphoria are not typical side effects of androgens.

Question 2 of 5

A client is taking Deltasone (prednisone) each morning to treat his systemic lupus erythematosus. Which statement best explains the reason for taking the prednisone in the morning?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Prednisone is taken in the morning to mimic the body’s natural cortisol peak, which occurs early in the day, minimizing adrenal suppression and side effects. Timing does not primarily affect forgetting, fluid retention, or absorption.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with osteoporosis who is being discharged on alendronate (Fosamax). Which statement would indicate a need for further teaching?

Rationale: Alendronate should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach, not before bedtime (

B), taking with water (
C), and avoiding food (

Question 4 of 5

A client with a renal failure is prescribed a low potassium diet. Which food choice would be best for this client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A low potassium diet is essential for clients with renal failure to prevent hyperkalemia. Among the options, 1 cup of rice has the lowest potassium content (approximately 50–100 mg per cup), making it the best choice. Beef broth contains moderate potassium (around 200 mg per cup), a baked potato with skin is high in potassium (about 900 mg), and raisins are also high (around 500 mg per half cup).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Pressing the inner corner (nasolacrimal occlusion) after instilling timolol prevents systemic absorption. Direct corneal application (
A) is incorrect, pain-based use (
C) is wrong, and refrigeration (
