Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is preoperative and reports an allergy to bananas. The nurse should recognize that the client is at risk for an allergic cross-reactivity to which of the following substances?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Banana allergy is associated with latex-fruit syndrome, increasing latex allergy risk. Anesthetics, povidone-iodine, and adhesive tape do not have this cross-reactivity.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is receiving opioids for pain management. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring for urinary retention is important as opioids can cause this side effect. Itching is a common side effect, not necessarily allergic; restricting fluids worsens constipation; antiemetics help with nausea.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a sealed radiation implant. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Limiting family visits to 30 minutes per day reduces radiation exposure. Sharing dosimeter badges, touching dislodged implants, or removing linens after each change are unsafe.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medication list of a client who is being admitted with diabetes insipidus. Which of the following medications places the client at an increased risk for developing diabetes insipidus?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Lithium can cause diabetes insipidus by impairing kidney response to antidiuretic hormone. Propranolol, atorvastatin, and ranitidine do not have this effect.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide to a client who has acute heart failure. Which of the following laboratory results should the nurse identify as a contraindication for receiving the medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypokalemia (potassium 3.2 mEq/L) is a contraindication for furosemide, which can further lower potassium. Normal sodium, creatinine, and BUN are not contraindications.
