1 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing clients about the action of each medication promotes patient education, enhances adherence, and improves outcomes. Avoiding preparing medications for multiple clients reduces errors but is not an absolute rule. Reading labels multiple times is good practice but not always a standard requirement. Incident reports are needed only for adverse reactions or errors, not routine vomiting.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for levothyroxine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking levothyroxine with a full glass of water prevents esophageal irritation and aids absorption. Antacids reduce absorption, grapefruit juice is unrelated, and weight loss, not gain, is expected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for a transdermal nitroglycerin patch. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Applying the patch to a hairless area ensures proper adhesion and absorption. Rotating sites prevents irritation, removing the patch during chest pain is incorrect, and patches are typically removed for 10-12 hours daily.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has an electrolyte imbalance. Which of the following foods should the nurse include as the highest in potassium?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sweet potatoes are high in potassium (541 mg per medium serving), aiding electrolyte balance. Chicken, wheat bread, and canned green beans have lower potassium content (<300 mg per serving).
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has terminal cancer. Which of the following responses by the child's school-age brother should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: School-age children (6-12) often exhibit magical thinking, believing their actions cause events like a sibling's death, leading to guilt. Regression, alienation, and believing death is reversible are less typical.
