Question 1 of 5
A client has a new prescription for timolol and the nurse provides medication instructions to the client. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching regarding the instructions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Timolol is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent. The client should not discontinue or change the medication dose. Common client teaching points about beta-adrenergic blocking agents include taking the pulse daily, holding it if the rate is less than 60 beats/min (and notifying the primary health care provider); changing positions slowly; and reporting shortness of breath. The client is also instructed to keep enough medication on hand, not take over-the-counter medications (especially decongestants, cough, and cold preparations) without consulting the primary health care provider, and carry medical identification that states that a beta-blocker is being taken.

A mother infected with hepatitis B asks the nurse about the possibility of breastfeeding her neonate. Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?

Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to assess cranial nerve VIII on a client. Which tests will the nurse perform? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,D

Question 4 of 5
The nurse has conducted teaching, with a client who experienced pulmonary embolism, about methods to prevent recurrence after discharge. Which client statement demonstrates understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Wearing supportive hose enhances venous return, reducing the risk of thrombus formation and pulmonary embolism recurrence. Limiting fluid intake can lead to hemoconcentration, increasing clot risk. Prolonged sitting or crossing legs (even at the ankles) can impede venous return and should be avoided.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who is suspected of having a diagnosis of testicular cancer. Which data will be most helpful for determining the client's risk for this type of cancer?
