Rationale: Blurred vision is not a common adverse effect of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine. Dry mouth is not a common adverse effect of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine. Tinnitus is not a common adverse effect of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine. Headache is a common side effect after receiving the meningococcal conjugate vaccine.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse administered ketorolac 30 mg IM to a client who is postoperative. Which of the following information should the nurse document? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,D,E
Rationale: This information is not typically documented after administration. Documenting the site of injection is important for monitoring any local reactions or complications. While the nurse should be aware of this information during administration, it is not typically documented after administration. Documenting the time of administration is essential for tracking the medication schedule and monitoring for any adverse effects. Documenting the dose administered is crucial for accurate record-keeping and ensuring patient safety.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for amoxicillin. Which of the following findings indicates that the client is having an allergic reaction to the medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bradycardia is not typically associated with an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Wheezing is a common sign of an allergic reaction, indicating potential respiratory distress. Polyuria (increased urine output) is not a typical allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Bruising is not a common allergic reaction to antibiotics and is more likely related to other factors.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is talking with a client who has been taking levothyroxine to treat hypothyroidism. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid taking which of the following over-the-counter medications within 4 hr of taking levothyroxine?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Calcium can interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine, so they should be taken separately. These do not interfere significantly with levothyroxine absorption. Fish oil supplements do not interfere significantly with levothyroxine absorption. Antihistamines do not interfere significantly with levothyroxine absorption.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has angina and a new prescription for nitroglycerin ointment. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This helps to enhance absorption and prevent the ointment from being rubbed off onto clothing. The ointment should not be massaged, as this can alter absorption and effectiveness. The prescribed dose and area for nitroglycerin ointment application should be specific to the individual's prescription; a larger area is not necessary. A thin layer is recommended to ensure accurate dosing and absorption.
