Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a nephrectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-nephrectomy, monitoring urinary output from the remaining kidney ensures function. Supine isn't required, diet adjusts gradually, and deep breathing prevents complications.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for pantoprazole. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abdominal pain could indicate a complication (e.g., ulcer worsening) with pantoprazole, requiring reporting. It's taken before meals, doesn't increase stools, and skin color isn't affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving enteral feedings via a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aspiration is a risk with NG feedings, requiring monitoring (e.g., lung sounds). Flushing is more frequent, elevation is needed, and rate depends on orders.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has anorexia nervosa and a behavioral management plan in place. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the behavioral plan is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A potassium of 3.5 mEq/L (normal range) suggests stabilization, a sign of effective management in anorexia. Low sodium, hemoglobin, and BMI indicate ongoing issues.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for risedronate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Remaining upright for 30 minutes prevents esophageal irritation from risedronate. It's taken in the morning, rash isn't common, and milk interferes with absorption.
