Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received hydromorphone 4 mg IV 15 min ago. The client has a respiratory rate of 10/min. The nurse should prepare to administer which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, reverses hydromorphone-induced respiratory depression, indicated by a rate of 10/min, preventing potential respiratory arrest. Diazepam would worsen sedation, and acetaminophen and ibuprofen don't address opioid overdose.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is supervising an assistive personnel (AP) who is applying antiembolic stockings for a client. Which of the following actions by the AP requires intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Creases in antiembolic stockings can cause pressure points, risking circulation issues or skin breakdown, requiring intervention. Applying before bed, pointing toes, and turning stockings inside out are correct techniques.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new diagnosis of tuberculosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A private room with negative pressure prevents airborne transmission of tuberculosis. Gowns are unnecessary, visitor restrictions are not limited to family, and coughing precautions are secondary to isolation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for fluoxetine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
