PN ATI Capstone Proctored Comprehensive Assessment 2020 A with NGN - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Monitor for metabolic syndrome.' Risperidone is not an SSRI but an atypical antipsychotic.
Choice A is incorrect.
Choice C is also incorrect as risperidone, like any medication, can have side effects.
Choice D is wrong because alcohol consumption should generally be avoided while taking risperidone. Educating clients about monitoring for metabolic syndrome, weight gain, and other potential side effects is crucial in managing their health effectively while on this medication.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'It can cause bradycardia.' Digoxin can cause bradycardia as one of its side effects. Clients should be educated about this potential effect and instructed to monitor their heart rate before taking the medication.
Choice A is incorrect because digoxin is more likely to cause arrhythmias than low blood pressure.
Choice C is incorrect as calcium supplements can interfere with the absorption of digoxin.
Choice D is incorrect as digoxin has various side effects, and clients should be aware of them.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Dizziness.' Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker used for hypertension, can cause dizziness due to its blood pressure-lowering effects. It is crucial for clients to report dizziness to their healthcare provider as it may indicate hypotension. Dry cough (choice
A) is more commonly associated with ACE inhibitors, rash (choice
C) may be seen in allergic reactions, and headache (choice
D) is a less common side effect of amlodipine.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Inadequate peripheral circulation can cause a low pulse oximetry reading by limiting blood flow to the area being measured, leading to inaccurate oxygen saturation readings. Hyperthermia (choice
A) is an elevated body temperature and does not directly affect pulse oximetry readings. An increased hemoglobin level (choice
B) would actually lead to higher oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood, resulting in normal or increased pulse oximetry readings. Low altitudes (choice
D) typically do not cause low pulse oximetry readings unless there are other underlying conditions affecting oxygen levels.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Thiazide diuretics are known to cause hypokalemia by increasing potassium excretion in the urine.
Therefore, the nurse should monitor the client for low potassium levels. Hyperkalemia (
Choice
A) is not typically associated with thiazide diuretics. Hyponatremia (
Choice
C) is more commonly linked with thiazide diuretics due to increased sodium excretion. Hypoglycemia (
Choice
D) is not a usual concern when a client is receiving thiazide diuretics.
