Question 1 of 5

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing clients who have intravenous therapy prescribed. Which assessment finding for a client with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) requires immediate attention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Upper extremity swelling could indicate infiltration, and the PICC will need to be removed. The initial dressing over the PICC site should be changed within 24 hours. This does not require immediate attention, but the swelling does. The dwell time for PICCs can be months or even years. Securement devices are being used more often now to secure the catheter in place and prevent complications such as phlebitis and infiltration. The IV should have one, but this does not take priority over the client whose arm is swollen.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is reconciling a newly admitted client's medication. The nurse is reviewing the process of medication reconciliation with a newly licensed nurse. The nurse should include which of the following information?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Medication reconciliation includes reviewing an accurate list of all medications the client is taking and comparing that list to new medications the provider has prescribed. This action decreases the risk of medication interactions and adverse outcomes.
