Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for fluconazole. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fluconazole can cause liver damage (hepatotoxicity), requiring monitoring (e.g., LFTs). It's oral or slow IV, diluted in saline, and dosing varies by condition.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is reinforcing teaching about skin care with a client who has a new diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Patting skin dry is gentle and appropriate for SLE, which can cause skin sensitivity. Tanning beds worsen symptoms, and astringents or antibacterial soaps may irritate.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for warfarin. Which of the following laboratory tests should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Warfarin affects clotting via vitamin K, so prothrombin time (PT) monitors its efficacy and safety. Other tests assess thyroid, kidney, or respiratory function, not anticoagulation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of nitroprusside. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nitroprusside, a vasodilator, requires hourly BP monitoring to prevent hypotension. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for amoxicillin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amoxicillin risks allergic reactions (e.g., rash, anaphylaxis), requiring monitoring. It's oral or slow IV, diluted in saline, and full course completion is needed.
