Question 2 of 5
A client with angina is experiencing migraine headaches. The physician has prescribed sumatriptan succinate (Imitrex). Which nursing action is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sumatriptan is contraindicated in clients with angina due to its vasoconstrictive effects, which could exacerbate cardiac ischemia. Consulting the RN to verify the order is the most appropriate action. Obtaining samples, discharge teaching, or consulting social services do not address the safety concern, so answers B, C, and D are incorrect.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer an injection of haloperidol decanoate (Haldol D).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Haloperidol decanoate is highly irritating to subcutaneous tissue, requiring deep IM injection into a large muscle mass to ensure proper absorption and minimize irritation. Massaging the site, using a small-gauge needle, or dividing doses is inappropriate.

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing a five-year-old child for surgery.
Correct Answer: D

Since the mother has signed the informed consent, no further action is needed, and the nurse should continue preoperative preparation. Notifying the physician, informing surgery, or contacting the father is unnecessary.
