Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV vancomycin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vancomycin can cause ototoxicity, so monitoring for tinnitus is essential. It's infused over 60-90 minutes, antihistamines aren't needed, and blood pressure checks aren't specific to vancomycin.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Checking for clots ensures catheter patency, critical for irrigation. Output monitoring is secondary, manual irrigation isn't routine, and antibiotics depend on orders.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has a chest tube set to continuous suction to relieve a pneumothorax. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Keeping the drainage system below chest level ensures proper drainage and prevents backflow. Supine positioning may hinder drainage, routine emptying isn't needed, and clamping can interfere with suction.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a cesarean birth. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
