Question 1 of 5

You are planning discharge education for your client who has a new colostomy. Which complication of a colostomy should you educate this client about?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A prolapsed stoma is a potential complication of a colostomy, and clients should be educated to recognize and report it.

Question 2 of 5

Which type of anemia is diagnosed with a Schilling test?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Schilling test is used to determine the cause of vitamin B12 deficiency, a potential precursor to pernicious anemia. This test involves the use of a small oral dose of radioactive B12 and a large nonradioactive intramuscular dose. A 24-hour urine specimen is then collected to measure the amount of radioactivity in the urine, and thus radioactive B12. This test is not helpful in diagnosing aplastic, megaloblastic, or iron-deficiency anemia.

Question 3 of 5

A client with a history of tuberculosis is prescribed isoniazid. Which supplement should the nurse administer concurrently?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Isoniazid can cause peripheral neuropathy due to vitamin B6 deficiency, so pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is administered to prevent this side effect.

Question 4 of 5

A client with a history of stroke is prescribed clopidogrel (Plavix). The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet, increases bleeding risk, requiring monitoring.

Question 5 of 5

A client with a new colostomy asks the nurse how to prevent skin irritation around the stoma. What is the best response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A snug-fitting skin barrier and cleaning with mild soap prevent skin irritation by protecting the peristomal skin and maintaining hygiene without causing trauma.
