Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who develops an anaphylactic reaction to antibiotic administration. After assessing the client's respiratory status and stopping the medication infusion, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administer epinephrine IM is correct because epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. It helps to reverse the severe symptoms of anaphylaxis, including airway constriction and low blood pressure.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which of the following client's medications should be monitored by the nurse for hearing loss related to a medication interaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide and amikacin is the correct combination. Both furosemide (a loop diuretic) and amikacin (an aminoglycoside antibiotic) have ototoxic potential, and their combined use increases the risk of hearing loss.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving parenteral nutrition and identifies that the client has hypoglycemia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administer IV dextrose is the appropriate action to treat hypoglycemia. IV dextrose provides a rapid source of glucose to raise blood sugar levels and prevent complications associated with hypoglycemia.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving a peripheral IV infusion and notes infiltration of fluid into the tissues surrounding the insertion site. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elevate the extremity is the correct action to take. Elevating the affected limb can help reduce swelling and promote the reabsorption of the infiltrated fluid. Additionally, the IV catheter should be removed, and a new IV site should be selected.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer total parenteral nutrition to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keep the solution refrigerated until 1 hr before infusion is correct because total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions should be kept refrigerated to maintain their stability and prevent bacterial growth. The solution should be removed from the refrigerator about one hour before infusion to allow it to reach room temperature.
