Question 1 of 4
A client has a new prescription for Timolol. How should the nurse instruct the client to insert eye drops?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When administering eye drops, it is essential to instruct the client to drop the prescribed amount of medication into the center of the conjunctival sac. This technique helps ensure proper distribution of the medication and reduces the risk of potential adverse effects. Pressing on the inside corner of the eye is done to prevent systemic absorption, applying drops directly on the cornea can cause irritation, and wiping the eyes after application can lead to decreased effectiveness of the medication.

Question 3 of 4
A client is taking Epoetin Alfa for anemia. Which of the following laboratory tests should the nurse monitor to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should monitor the hematocrit level to evaluate the effectiveness of Epoetin Alfa therapy. Epoetin Alfa stimulates red blood cell production, leading to an increase in hematocrit levels. Monitoring the hematocrit helps assess the response to therapy and ensures that the medication is effectively addressing the anemia.
Question 4 of 4
A client has a new prescription for Oxycodone/Acetaminophen. Which of the following instructions should be included in the discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to avoid taking additional Acetaminophen while on Oxycodone/Acetaminophen to prevent exceeding the maximum recommended dose and reducing the risk of liver toxicity. Oxycodone/Acetaminophen already contains Acetaminophen, so additional intake can lead to an overdose of this component.
