Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to ensure proper use?

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has heart failure. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is scheduled to have a colonoscopy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving intermittent bolus enteral feedings through a jejunostomy tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
