Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous enteral feeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Changing the feeding bag every 24-48 hours prevents bacterial growth. Residuals are checked every 4-6 hours, flushing uses 30 mL, and supine positioning risks aspiration.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A temperature of 38.2°C (100.8°F) during a transfusion suggests a febrile reaction, requiring provider notification. Normal blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate are not urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Polyuria is expected in type 2 diabetes due to hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis. Weight gain, tachycardia, and no fever are more common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for doxycycline. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking doxycycline with a full glass of water prevents esophageal irritation. Antacids reduce absorption, grapefruit juice is unrelated, and tooth discoloration is a risk in children, not adults.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring for increased intracranial pressure is critical post-craniotomy to detect complications like swelling or bleeding. Flat positioning may increase ICP, stool softeners are secondary, and coughing is avoided to prevent ICP spikes.
