Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving 0.9% sodium chloride IV at 75 mL/hr. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculating intake per shift monitors fluid balance. Heparin isn't routine for saline, site checks are more frequent (e.g., hourly), and bags change every 24 hr.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has tuberculosis. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Completing antibiotics (6–12 months) is critical for TB cure. Quarantine isn't 6 months, covering coughs is essential, and 2 weeks is too short.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is at 12 weeks of gestation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At 12 weeks, fetal heart tones are audible via Doppler. Leopold maneuvers are later (third trimester), reflexes check preeclampsia, and catheterization isn't routine.
