Fundamentals of Nursing Medication Administration Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
(Incomplete question, assumed: Which of these medications contains sulfa?)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acetazolamide is a sulfonamide ('sulfa') drug, commonly used as a diuretic or for glaucoma, and can cause allergic reactions in patients with sulfa allergies. Acetohexamide is also a sulfonamide but less commonly used today. Hydralazine and hydroxyzine do not contain sulfa. Based on typical nursing focus, acetazolamide is likely the intended answer.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client with a pressure ulcer on the sacrum. Which finding indicates a potential complication of the wound?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Foul odor from the wound may indicate an infection or necrotic tissue, which can impair wound healing and increase the risk of sepsis. The nurse should notify the provider and obtain a wound culture if indicated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has undergone a skin graft to cover a burn injury on the right arm. Which intervention should the nurse include in the plan of care to promote graft adherence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Immobilizing the right arm with a splint or sling helps to prevent movement and shear forces that can dislodge or damage the graft. The nurse should also avoid applying pressure or friction to the graft site.
Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for a chronic wound on the lower leg. The nurse observes that the wound edges are approximated and granulation tissue is filling the wound bed. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should discontinue the NPWT and apply a moist dressing when the wound edges are approximated and granulation tissue is filling the wound bed. This indicates that the wound is healing well and does not need further NPWT.
Question 5 of 5
A client with venous insufficiency has a venous stasis ulcer on the lower leg. Which instruction should the nurse give to the client to promote wound healing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client with venous insufficiency has impaired venous return from the lower extremities, which causes edema, inflammation, and skin breakdown. The nurse should instruct the client to apply compression stockings or bandages to improve blood flow and reduce swelling; avoid crossing the legs or wearing tight-fitting clothing that can constrict blood vessels; and keep the leg elevated when sitting or lying down to facilitate venous return.
