Question 3 of 5
A client diagnosed with schizophrenia is prescribed clozapine. The nurse teaches the client and family to call the physician immediately if:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clozapine is known to cause agranulocytosis, a potentially life-threatening condition where the white blood cell count drops significantly, leading to a higher risk of infection. Patients on clozapine must have regular blood tests to monitor their white blood cell count. Any signs of infection, such as fever, sore throat, or flu-like symptoms, should be reported to a physician immediately as they could indicate agranulocytosis.
Question 4 of 5
A client with agoraphobia avoids public places. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: B

Question 5 of 5
A patient with fluid volume deficit must receive a 250 mL IV bolus of NS over 25 minutes via a peripherally inserted central line (PICC) on an IV pump. At what rate will the nurse program the pump? Round to the nearest whole number. Do not use trailing zeros.
Correct Answer: 600
Rationale:
To calculate the rate:
Total volume = 250 mL,
Total time = 25 minutes. Rate = 250 mL ÷ 25 min = 10 mL/min. Convert to mL/hr: 10 mL/min × 60 = 600 mL/hr. The nurse should program the pump to infuse at a rate of 600 mL per hour.
