Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A home health nurse is planning care for a client who has Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Placing locks at the tops of exterior doors prevents wandering, a common and dangerous behavior in Alzheimer's patients, ensuring safety. Zippers versus buttons don't address safety. Hardwood floors may reduce falls but aren't specific to Alzheimer's. Physical activity before bed may disrupt sleep, not enhance safety.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing clients about the action of each medication promotes patient education, enhances adherence, and improves outcomes. Avoiding preparing medications for multiple clients reduces errors but is not an absolute rule. Reading labels multiple times is good practice but not always a standard requirement. Incident reports are needed only for adverse reactions or errors, not routine vomiting.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin aspart. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Storing insulin aspart in the refrigerator maintains potency. It's taken 5-10 minutes before meals, shaking is incorrect, and it's clear, not cloudy.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for a transdermal nitroglycerin patch. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Applying the patch to a hairless area ensures proper adhesion and absorption. Rotating sites prevents irritation, removing the patch during chest pain is incorrect, and patches are typically removed for 10-12 hours daily.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for losartan. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reporting swelling of the lips is critical with losartan, an ARB, due to risk of angioedema. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, weight gain is not expected, and potassium intake needs monitoring.
