Question 3 of 9
A client has been prescribed a Beta Blocker for hypertension. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor as an adverse effect of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bradycardia is a common adverse effect of Beta Blockers due to their mechanism of action in slowing down the heart rate. Clients taking Beta Blockers should be monitored for signs of bradycardia, such as a slow heart rate, dizziness, or fainting. Monitoring for this adverse effect is crucial to prevent potential complications and ensure client safety.
Question 4 of 9
A client has a prescription for Desmopressin for the treatment of Diabetes Insipidus. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Desmopressin is a medication used to reduce diuresis in clients with diabetes insipidus. To prevent water intoxication, clients should be advised to decrease fluid intake at the beginning of treatment. This instruction helps to balance fluid levels in the body and prevent potential complications associated with excessive fluid intake while on Desmopressin therapy. Monitoring for signs of fluid retention, such as weight gain, and adjusting fluid intake accordingly are essential components of client education when initiating treatment with Desmopressin.
Question 5 of 9
A client with Parkinson's disease is prescribed levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet). Which instruction should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Levodopa/carbidopa treats Parkinson's by increasing dopamine, but vasodilation risks orthostatic hypotension. Rising slowly prevents falls, a key instruction for safety. High-protein meals reduce levodopa absorption via amino acid competition, decreasing efficacy. Dark urine isn't a typical concern'harmless pigment changes occur. Stopping if feeling better risks symptom return, as it's not a cure. Rising slowly aligns with the drug's side effect profile, critical in Parkinson's where mobility is impaired, making C the essential teaching point to ensure client stability and adherence.
Question 6 of 9
A client has a prescription for Furosemide. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can lead to hypokalemia (low potassium levels) due to increased excretion of potassium in the urine. To counteract this effect and maintain electrolyte balance, the client should be advised to increase their intake of potassium-rich foods. This instruction helps prevent potential complications associated with low potassium levels.
Question 7 of 9
When teaching a client with a new prescription for Sulfasalazine, which instruction should the nurse include?

It is crucial for the nurse to educate the client about this expected outcome to prevent unnecessary concern or discontinuation of the medication.
