Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client with heart failure (HF) develops hyperaldosteronism and spironolactone is prescribed. Which instruction should the nurse include in the client’s plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Spironolactone’s potassium-sparing effect risks hyperkalemia, so limiting potassium-rich foods is key. Bruising, salt substitutes, and sun exposure are unrelated.

Question 3 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 4 of 5
A client with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receives a new prescription for an ipratropium inhaler. Which action indicates to the nurse that additional teaching is needed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Priming ipratropium with 7 pumps is excessive; 2-4 sprays are sufficient. Rinsing, storage, and spacers are correct practices.
Question 5 of 5
When administering zolpidem to an older client, which computer documentation indicates that the desired outcome has been achieved?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Zolpidem’s goal is to treat insomnia, so sound sleep is the outcome. It doesn’t address incontinence, concentration, or emotional outbursts.
