Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving mechanical ventilation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Performing oral care every 4 hours prevents ventilator-associated pneumonia. Ventilator settings are checked more frequently, alarms must remain on, and suctioning is done as needed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spinach, high in vitamin K, can reduce warfarin's anticoagulant effect, so intake should be consistent or limited. Oranges, chicken, and potatoes have minimal impact.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypoxemia is expected in COPD due to impaired gas exchange. Barrel-shaped chest is common, but bradypnea and weight gain are not; tachypnea and weight loss are more typical.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can cause hypokalemia, so serum potassium must be monitored. Hemoglobin, glucose, and creatinine are less directly affected.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting heart palpitations is critical, as albuterol can cause tachycardia. It's not taken with meals, doesn't require refrigeration, and is used as needed or per schedule, not every 2 hours.
