Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a prescription for a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ice reduces swelling during CPM use. Flexion increases gradually (e.g., 10 degrees), storage should be safe, and meal breaks are allowed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Shaking the inhaler ensures proper medication dispersion. Holding breath is 10 seconds, usage follows prescription, and rinsing is for steroids, not all inhalers.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has hypertension and a new prescription for spironolactone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spironolactone, a diuretic, increases urine output. It's potassium-sparing (not limiting), may cause hair growth in high doses, and timing varies.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of smoking and reports a persistent cough. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Thick yellow sputum suggests infection (e.g., bronchitis or pneumonia), needing prompt reporting. Wheezing, mild dyspnea, and dry cough are less urgent.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for ferrous sulfate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ferrous sulfate often turns stools black, a normal side effect. Milk reduces absorption, relief takes weeks, and it's best with food to avoid upset.
