Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An abduction pillow maintains hip alignment, preventing dislocation post-hip arthroplasty. Dependent positioning increases edema, crossing legs risks dislocation, and weight-bearing follows protocol.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for lorazepam. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding driving is critical with lorazepam, a benzodiazepine, due to sedation. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, weight changes are not typical, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of schizophrenia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flat affect, reduced emotional expression, is typical in schizophrenia. Hyperactivity, weight loss, or fever are not characteristic; disorganized behavior may occur.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of vancomycin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Redness at the IV site indicates phlebitis or extravasation, requiring provider notification with vancomycin, which is irritating to veins. Normal creatinine, urine output, and blood pressure are not urgent.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin aspart. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Storing insulin aspart in the refrigerator maintains potency. It's taken 5-10 minutes before meals, shaking is incorrect, and it's clear, not cloudy.
