Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has circulatory overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Circulatory overload increases cardiac workload, causing tachycardia. Diaphoresis is unrelated, weight gain (not loss) occurs, and hypertension (not hypotension) is typical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a client's antihypertensive medication. When using clinical judgment, which of the following findings indicates the nurse should further assess the client before administering medication?
Correct Answer: A

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about reducing the risk of medication errors. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
