Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the development of an education program for a group of older adults. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prednisone increases appetite due to corticosteroid effects. Headaches don't warrant stopping, skin doesn't turn blue, and it's taken with food to prevent GI upset.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for ipratropium via metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ipratropium can cause tachycardia, a side effect to monitor. Breath-holding is 10 seconds, dosing is typically 4-6 hr, and O2 sat isn't directly related.
