Question 1 of 5
A client taking a newly prescribed monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) is receiving education on foods that contain tyramine. Which of the following foods should be excluded from the client's diet? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: Red wine, smoked sausage, and aged cheddar are high in tyramine, risking hypertensive crises with MAOIs. Chicken and cereal are safe.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a patient about medications. Which statement from the patient indicates teaching is effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rotating transdermal patch sites prevents irritation and ensures absorption. Stopping antibiotics early risks resistance, skipping doses is incorrect, and parenteral drugs don't require food.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is developing a plan of care for a client who has a stage pressure ulcer. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Repositioning every 2 hours prevents further ulcers. Hydrogen peroxide damages tissue, massaging reddened areas risks harm, and heat lamps can burn skin.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is to receive liquid medications via a gastrostomy tube. The client is prescribed phenytoin 250 mg. The amount available is phenytoin oral solution 25 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calculate: 25 mg/5 mL = 5 mg/mL. For 250 mg, 250 ÷ 5 = 50 mL.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a pre-existing cardiovascular disease and atrial fibrillation. What type of stroke is this client at increased risk to have?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Atrial fibrillation increases embolic stroke risk due to heart clots traveling to the brain. Hemorrhagic, thrombotic, and subarachnoid strokes are less directly linked.
