Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse caring for the family of a client who recently died. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Encouraging the family to express feelings of loss supports grieving. Instructing them to leave, limiting time, or restricting touch is insensitive and disregards cultural or personal needs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for spironolactone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting signs of hyperkalemia is critical with spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic. Potassium intake should not increase, it's taken in the morning, and diuresis is not immediate.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new diagnosis of heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dyspnea is expected in heart failure due to fluid overload and reduced cardiac output. Weak pulses, weight gain, and tachycardia are more common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for duloxetine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting nausea is important with duloxetine, an SNRI, as it's a common side effect. It's taken flexibly, tyramine is unrelated, and mood improvement takes weeks.
Question 5 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.
