Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take if a transfusion reaction is suspected?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Stopping the transfusion prevents further reaction. Increasing the rate worsens it, diphenhydramine is secondary, and leg elevation is unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prednisone can cause weight gain due to fluid retention and appetite increase. It's taken with food, tapered gradually, and dairy isn't restricted.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for digoxin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Digoxin toxicity risks increase with hypokalemia, so potassium monitoring is essential. Fiber meals, bedtime dosing, or routine blood pressure checks aren't specific.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for sertraline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sertraline can cause insomnia, a key side effect to anticipate. It's taken flexibly, caffeine isn't restricted, and effects take weeks.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV fluids. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent phlebitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Changing the IV site every 72-96 hours reduces infection and phlebitis risk. Massaging, cold compresses, or large catheters don't prevent phlebitis.
