Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has left homonymous hemianopsia. Which of the following is an appropriate nursing intervention for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Teaching to scan right compensates for left visual field loss in homonymous hemianopsia. Left-sided wheelchair placement is unhelpful, clock method is non-specific, and table placement is secondary.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer morphine IV to a client. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to have available?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Naloxone reverses opioid overdose effects, critical for morphine administration safety. Neostigmine, protamine, and flumazenil address other conditions.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client currently taking oxymetazoline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include regarding oxymetazoline?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Oxymetazoline, a nasal decongestant, should be limited to 3 days to avoid rebound congestion. It's not for heart failure, acts rapidly, and doesn't cause drowsiness.
Question 4 of 5
A health care provider has written an order for digoxin for the patient, but the nurse cannot read whether the order is for 0.25 mg or 0.125 mg. What action would be the best to prevent a medication error?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Clarifying with the provider ensures correct dosage, preventing errors. Consulting others or handbooks risks assumptions.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 320 mg PO every 12 hours to an infant. The amount available is amoxicillin suspension 400 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?
