Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dopamine. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dopamine extravasation can cause tissue necrosis, requiring hourly checks. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for celecoxib. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Celecoxib, an NSAID, increases bleeding risk, requiring monitoring (e.g., bruising). It's taken with food, urine color isn't affected, and stopping depends on the condition.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for apixaban. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Apixaban, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, leading to bruising. It's taken with or without food, urine color isn't affected, and alcohol isn't contraindicated but should be limited.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for venlafaxine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Venlafaxine can increase blood pressure, requiring monitoring. It's taken with food, doesn't cause jaundice, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warfarin increases bleeding risk, so unusual bleeding must be reported. Potassium isn't restricted, urine color change isn't typical, and appetite isn't affected.
