Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client wants to start doing magnet therapy. The nurse should explain to the client, which would be a contraindication for the use of magnet therapy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pacemakers are contraindicated for magnet therapy due to potential interference with device function. Hypothyroidism, narcolepsy, and catheters do not interact with magnetic fields.
Question 2 of 5
A client asks the nurse about a prescription for the antihistamine, diphenhydramine (Benadryl). The nurse should teach the client that this medication is contraindicated in clients who have a history of which condition?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Diphenhydramine is contraindicated in patients with glaucoma, particularly closed-angle glaucoma, due to its anticholinergic properties that can increase intraocular pressure, potentially worsening the condition. Asthma is not a strict contraindication, though caution is advised due to possible exacerbation of symptoms from airway drying. Hypertension may require cautious use, but it’s not contraindicated. Depression is not a contraindication, though sedation effects may need monitoring.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 4 mg via IV bolus to a client. The amount available is furosemide 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.4
Rationale:
To administer 4 mg of furosemide (10 mg/mL) divide 4 mg by 10 mg/mL = 0.4 mL. The answer is not rounded to a whole number as 0.4 mL is precise for IV bolus administration. Use a leading zero (0.4) and avoid trailing zeros.
Question 4 of 5
A client has an order for continuous bladder irrigation. What should the nurse do with the irrigation solution on the intake and output (I&O) sheet when calculating the fluid balance for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Deducting irrigation solution from urine output ensures accurate measurement of true urine production, as the irrigation fluid is not part of the client’s urine.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is doing hourly rounding and finds a client unresponsive. The nurse is unable to obtain a pulse and the client is not breathing. What intervention would be the priority for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Starting chest compressions is the priority in cardiac arrest to restore circulation. Central lines, assessments, and rescue breathing follow after initiating compressions.
