Question 1 of 9
A client has a new prescription for Omeprazole. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in teaching the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
A healthcare professional is reviewing the laboratory results of a client who is taking Warfarin for atrial fibrillation. Which of the following findings should the professional report to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An INR of 4.0 indicates that the client's blood is clotting too slowly, increasing the risk of bleeding. This level is above the therapeutic range for a client on Warfarin therapy. Therefore, the healthcare professional should notify the provider immediately to prevent potential bleeding complications.

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 9
A client has a new prescription for Nevirapine, an NNRTI. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in teaching the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 6 of 9
A client has a new prescription for spironolactone. The client should be monitored for which of the following adverse effects?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that can lead to hyperkalemia as an adverse effect. Hyperkalemia is characterized by elevated levels of potassium in the blood, which can be dangerous and lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, monitoring for signs and symptoms of hyperkalemia is crucial when a client is taking spironolactone.
Question 7 of 9
The following is most suitable for thromboembolic prophylaxis in a patient with a left ventricular aneurysm following a myocardial infarction three months ago:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A left ventricular aneurysm post-MI risks thrombus formation due to stasis, necessitating anticoagulation. IV heparin is acute, not outpatient prophylaxis, impractical here. Subcutaneous enoxaparin prevents thromboembolism short-term (e.g., post-surgery), but its duration suits weeks, not months. Oral warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist, provides long-term anticoagulation (INR 2-3), ideal for chronic prophylaxis against mural thrombi embolizing to systemic circulation, most suitable three months post-MI. Oral aspirin (antiplatelet) or aspirin plus clopidogrel targets arterial clots, less effective for ventricular stasis-related venous thrombi. Warfarin's sustained effect reduces stroke risk, critical in this structural heart defect.
Question 8 of 9
A client has a new prescription for Filgrastim. Which of the following instructions should be included by the healthcare provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 9 of 9
The client is receiving oxytocin (Pitocin) for induction of labor. Which assessment finding will most likely result in the nurse stopping the infusion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
