Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous enteral feeding. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A gastric residual volume of 300 mL suggests delayed gastric emptying, requiring provider notification. Mild fever, normal heart rate, and blood pressure are not urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for spironolactone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting signs of hyperkalemia is critical with spironolactone due to potassium-sparing effects. Potassium intake should not increase, it's taken in the morning, and diuresis is not immediate.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of anemia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fatigue is expected in anemia due to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity. Fever, hypertension, or weight gain are not typical.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clear drainage from the surgical site may indicate a cerebrospinal fluid leak, requiring provider notification. Pain, mild fever, and normal heart rate are expected.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for gabapentin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reporting drowsiness is important with gabapentin due to sedation. Antacids reduce absorption, weight gain is more common, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
