Question 1 of 5
A client is scheduled for a spiral computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast to evaluate for pulmonary embolism. Which information in the client’s history requires follow-up by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metformin with contrast dye risks lactic acidosis, requiring kidney function assessment and possible withholding. Prior CT, sobriety, and metal prosthesis are less critical.
Question 2 of 5
A client with narcolepsy receives a new prescription for methylphenidate. Prior to administration of the medication, the nurse should review the medical record for which condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Methylphenidate can elevate blood pressure, risking complications in hypertension. Cholesterol, diabetes, and bronchitis are not primary concerns.

When administering zolpidem to an older client, which computer documentation indicates that the desired outcome has been achieved?

Question 4 of 5

Question 5 of 5
The healthcare provider prescribes enoxaparin sodium 80 mg SUBQ three times daily. The nurse is preparing a preloaded 1 mL syringe labeled 'Enoxaparin sodium injection, USP 60 mg/0.6 mL.' How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calculation: 60 mg/0.6 mL = 100 mg/mL; 80 mg ÷ 100 mg/mL = 0.8 mL. Thus, 0.8 mL delivers the prescribed 80 mg.
