Question 1 of 5

A client has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because enoxaparin should be injected into the abdomen to ensure proper absorption.
Choice A is incorrect as enoxaparin should not be taken with food.
Choice B is incorrect as enoxaparin should be injected subcutaneously, not into the muscle.
Choice C is incorrect as massaging the injection site after administering enoxaparin is not recommended.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is providing education to a client who is at 28 weeks gestation and has gestational diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct statement the nurse should make is that gestational diabetes can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. This information is crucial for the client's understanding of the potential long-term implications of gestational diabetes. Monitoring blood glucose levels closely (
Choice
B) is also important but does not address the long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Choices A and D are incorrect as increasing protein intake during pregnancy and avoiding exercise are not recommended strategies for managing gestational diabetes.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following a total knee replacement. The client reports pain of 8 on a scale of 0 to 10. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In this scenario, the appropriate action for the nurse to take when a client reports severe postoperative pain of 8 out of 10 is to administer oxycodone 10 mg PO. Oxycodone is a potent analgesic that is more effective in managing severe pain compared to ibuprofen, making choice A incorrect. Repositioning the client to the unaffected side or applying a cold compress may provide some comfort but are not the priority interventions for severe postoperative pain, making choices C and D less appropriate.

Question 4 of 5

A client with heart failure is being educated by a nurse about fluid restrictions. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Avoid drinking more than 1 liter of fluid per day." Clients with heart failure are typically advised to limit their fluid intake to around 1 liter per day to prevent fluid overload, which can worsen their condition.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest fluid intakes that are higher than the recommended limit, which could lead to fluid retention and exacerbate heart failure symptoms.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is assessing a newborn who has a blood glucose level of 30 mg/dl. Which manifestation should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Jitteriness is a common symptom of neonatal hypoglycemia. When a newborn has a low blood glucose level, they may exhibit signs of central nervous system dysfunction, such as jitteriness. Loose stools (
Choice
A) are not typically associated with neonatal hypoglycemia. Hypertonia (
Choice
C) refers to increased muscle tone, which is not a common manifestation of hypoglycemia in newborns. Abdominal distention (
Choice
D) is more often associated with gastrointestinal issues rather than hypoglycemia.
