Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for digoxin. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as an adverse effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Digoxin toxicity can cause blurred vision, a key adverse effect to monitor. It doesn't typically increase urine output, reflexes, or cause weight gain.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for furosemide 40 mg PO daily. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide causes potassium loss, so monitoring for hypokalemia is key. It's given in the morning, fluid intake shouldn't decrease, and glucose isn't directly affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for celecoxib. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Celecoxib, an NSAID, increases bleeding risk, requiring monitoring (e.g., bruising). It's taken with food, urine color isn't affected, and stopping depends on the condition.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer eye drops to a child. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Applying pressure to the lacrimal punctum prevents systemic absorption of the drops. Side-lying isn't required, wiping outward prevents contamination, and flushing isn't standard pre-administration.
