Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has end-stage kidney disease. The client has decided to stop dialysis treatment. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Supporting the client's decision respects autonomy, a core ethical principle. Discussing with family, alternatives, or involving a chaplain are secondary to honoring the client's choice.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV vancomycin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vancomycin can cause ototoxicity, so monitoring for tinnitus is essential. It's infused over 60-90 minutes, antihistamines aren't needed, and blood pressure checks aren't specific to vancomycin.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for metformin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metformin can cause a metallic taste, a side effect to anticipate. It's taken with meals, protein limits aren't needed, and shakiness requires glucose, not stopping.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse at an outpatient clinic receives a call from a client who reports experiencing syncope after starting a new prescription for enalapril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enalapril can cause hypotension, leading to syncope. Rising slowly prevents sudden blood pressure drops. Potassium, pulse-based withholding, or fluid reduction aren't directly related.
