Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for ondansetron. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ondansetron prolongs QT interval; monitoring prevents arrhythmias. It's oral or IV, not SQ, and glucose/massage aren't relevant.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for allopurinol. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Allopurinol risks rash (hypersensitivity). Antacids aren't needed, relief takes time, and duration varies.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of atrial fibrillation. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Atrial fibrillation causes an irregular pulse. Tachycardia, crackles, and fatigue are also common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse on a pediatric unit is caring for a toddler who has poor dietary intake. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse's first action should be to obtain the child's dietary history to understand current eating habits, preferences, and barriers, enabling tailored interventions. This assessment precedes other actions like family involvement, snacks, or reinforcement, which depend on knowing the root cause.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is postpartum about the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The MMR vaccine is live attenuated, and women should avoid pregnancy for 28 days post-vaccination to reduce theoretical fetal risk. Breastfeeding is safe, partner vaccination isn't a client-specific instruction, and gluten allergy isn't a contraindication.
