Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a thyroidectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Neck swelling post-thyroidectomy could indicate hematoma or edema, requiring monitoring. High-iodine diets, heating pads, and loud speaking aren't appropriate.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol can cause tachycardia, a side effect to anticipate. It's used as needed, not daily, mouth rinsing is for steroids, and it treats, not prevents, attacks.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for fluoxetine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fluoxetine is often taken at bedtime to minimize daytime side effects like agitation. Weight changes vary, tyramine isn't a concern, and effects take weeks.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for lisinopril. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lisinopril can cause a persistent dry cough, a common side effect. Potassium intake, bedtime dosing, or fluid limits aren't specific concerns.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the admission of a client who has varicella zoster. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Varicella requires airborne precautions, including a negative-pressure room, to prevent spread. Aspirin risks Reye's syndrome, contact precautions alone are insufficient, and distance doesn't replace airborne measures.
