Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for clonidine. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor for?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clonidine, an alpha-2 agonist, commonly causes dry mouth due to decreased salivary production.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen solution 60 mg orally to a 7-month-old infant who is febrile. Available is ibuprofen 50 mg/1.25 mL. How many should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct dose is 1.5 mL.
To calculate: (60 mg / 50 mg) * 1.25 mL = 1.5 mL. This ensures the infant receives the prescribed 60 mg of ibuprofen.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse overhears two assistive personnel (AP) in the nurses' station discussing a client who was recently admitted. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Telling the APs to stop the conversation is correct. Discussing client information in a public area violates HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) privacy regulations. The nurse should immediately intervene and remind the APs about maintaining client confidentiality.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: C
