Question 3 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has acute pancreatitis. Which of the following provider prescriptions should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: B

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer olanzapine 10 mg IM to a client who has schizophrenia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring the client for at least 3 hours after IM olanzapine injection is necessary to detect adverse reactions like sedation or hypotension. The deltoid is not the preferred site, and hallucinations are a symptom olanzapine treats.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching for a client who has binge-eating disorder and is morbidly obese. The client has been prescribed orlistat. Which of the following statements indicates to the nurse that the client understands the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Orlistat blocks dietary fat absorption, not appetite. A no-fat diet is unnecessary, as moderate fat reduction suffices. Dark urine may indicate liver issues, a serious side effect, requiring immediate medical attention. Orlistat should be taken with or after meals, not before breakfast.
