Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for metoprolol. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring heart rate is essential with metoprolol, a beta-blocker, due to risk of bradycardia. Blood glucose, potassium, and urine output are less directly affected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased urinary output indicates furosemide is reducing fluid retention in heart failure. Decreased BUN may suggest overhydration, decreased hemoglobin indicates anemia, and weight gain suggests fluid overload.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hypoxemia is expected in COPD due to impaired gas exchange. Weight loss, tachypnea, and no fever are more common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a placenta previa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Spotting is common in placenta previa due to the placenta's abnormal implantation near the cervical os, causing vaginal bleeding. Nausea is unrelated. A board-like abdomen suggests peritonitis, not previa. Delayed menses indicates pregnancy but not specifically previa.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who repeatedly refuses meals. The nurse overhears an assistive personnel (AP) telling the client, 'If you don't eat, I'll put restraints on your wrists and feed you.' The nurse should intervene and explain to the AP that this statement constitutes which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The AP's threat to restrain and force-feed the client constitutes assault, as it creates fear of harmful contact without consent. Malpractice involves professional negligence, battery is actual unconsented contact, and negligence is failure to meet care standards, none of which apply here.
