Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving chemotherapy. The client reports nausea. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering an antiemetic directly addresses chemotherapy-induced nausea. High-protein diets, citrus beverages, or deep breathing may not effectively manage nausea in this context.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of seizures. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Missing a dose of phenytoin, an anticonvulsant, increases seizure risk, requiring provider notification. Sleeping normally, new prescriptions, or a 2-month seizure-free period are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has pernicious anemia. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings increases the client's risk for injury?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A firm-bristled toothbrush risks bleeding gums in pernicious anemia due to low platelets and clotting issues. Green vegetables, fluid intake, and masks are beneficial, not injury risks.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client to a medical-surgical unit. When performing medication reconciliation for the client, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Comparing new prescriptions with the client's reported medications ensures accuracy, preventing errors, interactions, or omissions. Including potential adverse effects is not part of reconciliation. Excluding supplements risks missing interactions. Encouraging a home list is unreliable and unsafe.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take if a transfusion reaction is suspected?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Stopping the transfusion is the first action if a reaction is suspected to prevent further harm. Increasing the rate worsens the reaction, acetaminophen is secondary, and leg elevation is not indicated.
