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 escitalopram. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Escitalopram, an SSRI, can cause drowsiness, a side effect to note. It's taken with or without food, mood improvement takes weeks, and tyramine restriction is for MAOIs.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for ondansetron. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ondansetron, an antiemetic, can cause constipation, requiring monitoring. It's given slowly IV, diluted in saline, and dosed as needed, not weekly.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dobutamine. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dobutamine, a vasopressor, affects blood pressure, requiring hourly monitoring for titration. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for rivaroxaban. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, leading to bruising. It's taken with food (not high-fat specifically), stools may darken with bleeding, and grapefruit isn't a major concern.
