Question 1 of 5
A nurse caring for a client who has hypertension and asks the nurse about a prescription for propranolol. The nurse should inform the client that this medication is contraindicated in clients who have a history of which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Propranolol, a beta-blocker, is contraindicated in asthma due to risk of bronchoconstriction. Itβs used for migraines and glaucoma and not contraindicated in depression, though monitoring is needed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse assesses four patients. Which patient has greatest risk for hypomagnesemia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chronic alcoholism increases hypomagnesemia risk due to poor dietary intake, increased renal excretion, and impaired absorption of magnesium. Hypernatremia, bone cancer, and respiratory acidosis are less directly linked.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client and discovers the infusion pump with the client's total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solution is not infusing. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sudden interruption of TPN can cause hypoglycemia due to halted glucose infusion, leading to shakiness and diaphoresis. Thirst and urination indicate hyperglycemia, hypertension and crackles suggest fluid overload, and fever and chills indicate infection, not directly related to TPN cessation.
