Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting a health history from the guardian of a 4-year-old child. Which of the following statements by the guardian is the priority for the nurse to address?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Withdrawal after a daycare change suggests emotional distress, a priority over bedwetting, picky eating, or repetitive questions, which are less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for risedronate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Remaining upright for 30 minutes prevents esophageal irritation from risedronate. It's taken in the morning, rash isn't common, and milk interferes with absorption.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for citalopram. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Citalopram can cause drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option if needed. Appetite changes take time, jaundice isn't a side effect, and stopping abruptly risks relapse.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dementia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dementia typically involves memory loss severe enough to disrupt activities of daily living (ADLs), unlike catatonia, illusions, or pressured speech, which aren't defining features.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for buprenorphine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Buprenorphine, an opioid, can cause drowsiness, a key side effect. Milk isn't required, energy may decrease, and stopping depends on the treatment plan.
