Extract:
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for methotrexate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Methotrexate can cause mucositis, leading to mouth sores, a common side effect to monitor. Milk isn't required, energy may decrease due to fatigue, and while alcohol avoidance is advised, mouth sores are a more immediate concern.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for sertraline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sertraline, an SSRI, can cause drowsiness, a common side effect. It's taken with or without food, mood improves in weeks, and tyramine restriction is for MAOIs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for ertapenem. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ertapenem risks allergic reactions (e.g., rash), requiring monitoring. It's given over 30 minutes, diluted in saline, and dosed daily, not weekly.
