Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has Graves' disease and is to start therapy with propylthiouracil. The nurse should expect which of the following outcomes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreased heart rate is expected as propylthiouracil reduces thyroid hormone, slowing metabolism. Hct and blood pressure don't increase, and WBC decrease is a side effect, not an outcome.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a list of current medications for a client who is starting therapy with furosemide. Which of the following medications should the nurse identify as being contraindicated?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lithium carbonate with furosemide risks toxicity due to sodium loss affecting lithium excretion. Levothyroxine, cetirizine, and albuterol aren't contraindicated.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is to start therapy with furosemide. The nurse determines that the teaching is effective when the client states he will increase intake of which of the following foods?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Baked potatoes are potassium-rich, countering furosemide's potassium loss. Oatmeal, rice, and eggs lack significant potassium.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who received diphenhydramine 1 hr ago after developing an allergic reaction to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Which of the following statements by the client should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: My voice is no longer hoarse.' indicates reduced airway swelling from the allergic reaction, a key sign of diphenhydramine's effectiveness. Appetite and headache aren't primary targets, and alertness contradicts its sedative effect.
