Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A 70-year-old male receiving high-dose IV furosemide for heart failure complains of ringing in his ears and dizziness. His current labs show normal potassium and sodium levels. What is the nurse's most appropriate intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ringing in ears and dizziness suggest furosemide ototoxicity. Stopping the infusion and notifying the provider is critical. Other actions risk worsening the condition.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who receives furosemide to treat heart failure. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor for this client due to this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can cause hypokalemia by increasing potassium excretion. Cortisol, bicarbonate, and albumin are not primarily affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing anaphylactic shock in response to the administration of penicillin. Which of the following medications should the nurse administer first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylactic shock, reversing allergic reactions. Other medications are secondary or unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is educating a client who has HIV about the infection process. Which of the following features of the virus should the nurse explain can result in opportunistic infection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: HIV’s destruction of CD4 lymphocytes causes immunosuppression, leading to opportunistic infections. Other features enable replication but don’t directly cause infections.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has septic shock about the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: DIC involves abnormal coagulation, consuming fibrinogen and platelets, causing clots and bleeding. Platelet counts drop, heparin is not lifelong, and DIC is not genetic.
