Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A temperature of 38.3°C suggests infection, possibly catheter-related, requiring reporting. Normal glucose, slight weight gain, and mild discomfort are less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous tube feeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent aspiration?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elevating the bed to 30-45 degrees reduces aspiration risk by promoting proper digestion. Flushing maintains patency, supine position increases risk, and residual checks monitor tolerance.
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 nitroglycerin sublingual tablets. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nitroglycerin often causes headaches due to vasodilation. It's taken every 5 minutes, dissolved under the tongue, and stored in a dark, airtight container.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Furosemide can cause hypokalemia, so potassium levels must be monitored. Sodium, calcium, or magnesium aren't primarily affected.
