ATI Pharmacology Practice Exam Questions
Question 1 of 4
A client has a new prescription for Spironolactone. Which of the following instructions should be provided?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is to 'Avoid potassium-rich foods.' Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and consuming foods high in potassium can lead to hyperkalemia, a potential side effect of the medication. Therefore, the client should be advised to avoid potassium-rich foods to prevent complications.
Question 2 of 4
A client has a new prescription for Warfarin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is to advise the client to avoid consuming foods high in vitamin K. Warfarin's effectiveness can be affected by vitamin K intake. Clients should maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K and avoid sudden increases in foods high in vitamin K to ensure the medication works properly and consistently.
Question 3 of 4
A client has a new prescription for Loperamide. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Loperamide can cause drowsiness and dizziness, so clients should avoid activities that require alertness until they know how the medication affects them. Taking the medication with a full glass of water can help with absorption. Increasing high-fiber foods is not directly related to Loperamide, and black, tarry stools are not expected side effects of this medication.
