Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving peritoneal dialysis. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cloudy dialysate suggests infection, requiring immediate reporting. Clear output, weight loss, and no pain are expected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for omeprazole. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Omeprazole is best taken at bedtime to reduce acid overnight. Food timing varies, crushing capsules is unsafe, and grapefruit juice isn't a concern.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote comfort?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elevating the arm on a pillow reduces edema and promotes comfort. Sleeping on the affected side, warm compresses, and lowering the arm worsen swelling.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse caring for a client reviews the medical record and determines the client is at risk for developing a potassium deficit because of which situation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nasogastric suction removes gastric secretions that contain potassium, leading to a loss of potassium from the body, which can cause hypokalemia. Addison's disease and tissue damage cause hyperkalemia, and uric acid levels are unrelated to potassium.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the plan of care for a client who has botulism poisoning. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Botulism causes muscle paralysis, making monitoring for this symptom critical for early detection and intervention. Contact isolation is not needed, increased salivation is not typical, and clindamycin is not used for botulism treatment.
