Question 1 of 5
When teaching the family of a child with Cystic Fibrosis about a new prescription for Acetylcysteine, which information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Expect this medication to smell like rotten eggs.' Acetylcysteine contains sulfur, which gives it a characteristic rotten-egg odor. This odor is normal and expected when using this medication. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because Acetylcysteine is not used to suppress cough, cause euphoria, or change urine color.
Question 2 of 5
An older adult client has a new prescription for Digoxin and takes multiple other medications. The nurse should recognize that concurrent use of which of the following medications places the client at risk for Digoxin toxicity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Verapamil, a calcium-channel blocker, can increase digoxin levels, leading to toxicity. When given together, the digoxin dosage may need adjustment, and the nurse should closely monitor the client's digoxin levels to prevent toxicity symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, and arrhythmias.

A client is prescribed Propranolol for a dysrhythmia. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action the nurse should plan to take when administering Propranolol is to assist the client when sitting up or standing after taking the medication.
