A. Check the client's potassium level.B. Administer the medication with a high-fiber meal.C. Instruct the client to take the medication at bedtime.D. Monitor the client's blood pressure every 4 hr.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Digoxin toxicity risks increase with hypokalemia, so potassium monitoring is essential. Fiber meals, bedtime dosing, or routine blood pressure checks aren't specific.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for valsartan. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. You should take this medication with a high-potassium meal.B. You might experience a cough while taking this medication.C. You need to avoid exercise while taking this medication.D. You can take this medication at any time of day.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Valsartan's timing is flexible, aiding compliance. Potassium meals, cough (less common than with ACE inhibitors), or exercise limits aren't primary concerns.

Question 3 of 5

A. You should avoid eating spinach and kale.B. You can take ibuprofen for a headache.C. You should take the medication at bedtime.D. You can continue to participate in contact sports.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Spinach and kale, high in vitamin K, can interfere with warfarin's anticoagulant effect. Ibuprofen, variable dosing times, or contact sports increase bleeding risks.

A. Patient Health questionnaire 9B. Mental Status ExaminationC. Brief Psychiatric Rating ScaleD. Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale
