Question 1 of 5
A client who is receiving pregabalin for fibromyalgia reports experiencing tremors in the hands. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tremors are a potential side effect of pregabalin, warranting provider notification for possible dose adjustment. Anti-anxiety drugs, glucose levels, and blood pressure readings are not directly related to addressing tremors.
Question 2 of 5
Six days after starting a prescription for oral amoxicillin solution, a client calls the clinic to report the onset of a low-grade fever. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A low-grade fever may indicate an allergic reaction, superinfection, or other complications. Assessing for additional symptoms guides appropriate action. Antipyretics, refrigeration checks, or fluid intake are secondary without further assessment.

Question 4 of 5
Based on a client's serum digoxin level, the client is diagnosed with digoxin toxicity. Which action should the nurse expect to implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Checking acid-base and electrolyte values is critical for digoxin toxicity, as imbalances like hypokalemia worsen toxicity. Changing routes, cardioversion, or potassium administration are not immediate without assessment.
Question 5 of 5
A client receives a prescription for IV famotidine. Which finding indicates to the nurse the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Famotidine reduces gastric acid, alleviating epigastric pain, indicating effectiveness. Nighttime awakenings, stool tests, and weight loss are not direct measures of famotidine’s efficacy.
