Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin subcutaneously to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to inject enoxaparin subcutaneously at a 45-degree angle. This angle helps ensure proper delivery of the medication into the subcutaneous tissue. Option A (Inject at a 90-degree angle) is incorrect because subcutaneous injections are usually given at a shallower angle. Option C (Massage the injection site after administering) is incorrect as massaging the site can cause bruising and should generally be avoided. Option D (Use a longer needle) is incorrect as using a longer needle is unnecessary and may increase the risk of injecting the medication too deeply.

Question 2 of 5

A client who has been having frequent tonic-clonic seizures is being admitted by a nurse. Which of the following actions should the nurse add to the client's plan of care?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct action the nurse should add to the client's plan of care is to wrap blankets around side rails. This helps prevent injury during seizures by providing a cushioned surface against the hard rails. Applying restraints (Choice A) is not recommended as it can cause harm during a seizure. Using soft wristbands (Choice B) may not provide adequate protection against injury. Administering sedatives (Choice D) is not typically indicated for managing tonic-clonic seizures as they require specific anti-seizure medications.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer medications to four clients. The nurse should administer medications to which client first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The client with renal failure and high potassium levels requires immediate attention because hyperkalemia can lead to life-threatening cardiac complications. Administering sodium polystyrene sulfonate helps lower the potassium levels. Choice A, the client with pneumonia and a high WBC count, although important, does not present an immediate life-threatening condition. Choice C, the post-CABG client prescribed atorvastatin, and Choice D, the client with anemia and a hemoglobin level of 11g/dL prescribed epoetin alfa, do not require immediate intervention compared to managing hyperkalemia in a client with renal failure.

Question 5 of 5

A client who reports insomnia is being taught by a nurse about promoting rest and sleep. Which statement should indicate to the nurse that the client understands the instructions?

Correct Answer: C

Choice B is also incorrect as consuming beverages with caffeine or sugar close to bedtime can disrupt sleep. Choice D, while a good practice, does not directly address the issue of avoiding alcohol before bedtime to improve sleep quality.
