Question 3 of 9
A client is taking naproxen following an exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following statements by the client requires further discussion?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The client stating that they have been taking an antacid to help with indigestion while on naproxen requires further discussion as it can indicate gastrointestinal distress or potential interactions between the medications. Antacids may affect the absorption of naproxen or lead to other complications, so it is important for the nurse to address this statement with the client.
Question 4 of 9
A client has a new prescription for Amlodipine. Which of the following side effects should the client monitor for and report?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, can cause peripheral edema (swelling of the ankles) as a side effect. This occurs due to the dilation of blood vessels and increased fluid retention. It is important for the client to monitor for ankle swelling as it could indicate a potential adverse reaction to the medication. Reporting this side effect to the healthcare provider is crucial to ensure appropriate management and potential adjustment of the treatment plan.
Question 5 of 9
A client with Bipolar disorder has a new prescription for Carbamazepine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Grapefruit juice affects carbamazepine metabolism and should be avoided. It can lead to increased levels of the medication, potentially causing toxicity. Monitoring carbamazepine blood levels and the complete blood count (CBC) is essential to ensure the medication's efficacy and safety. Carbamazepine can cause serious adverse effects like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, the client should promptly report any rash to the healthcare provider. Additionally, the client should be educated about potential central nervous system (CNS) side effects such as drowsiness or dizziness, and advised to avoid activities requiring alertness until these effects diminish.

This monitoring assists in managing fluid balance and adjusting the dosage if necessary to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
