Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client is experiencing fluid volume deficit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Elevated hematocrit level can indicate hemoconcentration due to fluid volume deficit. When there is a decrease in plasma volume, the concentration of red blood cells increases, leading to a higher hematocrit level.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a group of clients. Which of the following situations requires an incident report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A client receives their insulin 1 hour before scheduled is a medication error that requires an incident report. Administering insulin at the wrong time can lead to significant changes in blood glucose levels and potential harm to the client, making it necessary to document the incident and investigate the cause.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which of the following client's medications should be monitored by the nurse for hearing loss related to a medication interaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide and amikacin is the correct combination. Both furosemide (a loop diuretic) and amikacin (an aminoglycoside antibiotic) have ototoxic potential, and their combined use increases the risk of hearing loss.

Rationale: Administer the medication into the anterolateral or posterolateral abdominal area is correct. Enoxaparin should be administered subcutaneously into the anterolateral or posterolateral abdominal area to ensure proper absorption and minimize complications.
