Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is at risk for falls. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Calling for assistance reduces fall risk by ensuring support. High beds, socks only, and no band alone increase risk without addressing immediate safety.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dopamine. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dopamine extravasation can cause tissue necrosis, requiring hourly checks. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
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 caring for a client who has a new prescription for albuterol via nebulizer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol can cause tachycardia, a side effect to monitor. Deep breaths are needed, dosing is typically 4-6 hr, and O2 sat is checked as needed.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for methotrexate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
