Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client who is receiving pregabalin for fibromyalgia complains of tremors in the hands. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tremors are a side effect of pregabalin, requiring provider notification for dose adjustment. Antianxiety drugs, blood pressure, or glucose levels are unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
An older client with heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease (CAD), and hypertension (HTN) is receiving these daily prescriptions: atenolol, furosemide, and enalapril. Which assessments should the nurse include in evaluating the effectiveness of the medications? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Heart sounds, blood pressure, and daily weight monitor cardiac function, fluid status, and hypertension control. Bowel sounds and range of motion are unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
A client with chronic asthma receives a prescription for montelukast, a leukotriene modifier. Which statement by the client indicates to the nurse that medication teaching was effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Montelukast is taken daily in the evening for asthma prevention, not for acute attacks or to replace inhalers.
Question 4 of 5
Ferrous sulfate elixir is prescribed for a client with iron deficiency anemia. Which instruction should the nurse provide this client about taking the liquid medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using a straw minimizes tooth staining from ferrous sulfate. Diluting reduces GI irritation, antacids impair absorption, and milk’s calcium inhibits iron uptake.
Question 5 of 5
A young adult female client who is planning to become pregnant asks the nurse if she can continue taking isotretinoin for cystic acne. Which information is most important for the nurse to provide this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Isotretinoin’s teratogenicity requires discontinuation one month before conception to prevent birth defects. Breastfeeding, vitamin A, and liver tests are secondary.
