Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for amoxicillin. Which of the following findings indicates that the client is having an allergic reaction to the medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bradycardia is not typically associated with an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Wheezing is a common sign of an allergic reaction, indicating potential respiratory distress. Polyuria (increased urine output) is not a typical allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Bruising is not a common allergic reaction to antibiotics and is more likely related to other factors.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following arthroscopy and reports a pain level of 6 on a scale of 0 to 10 after receiving ketorolac 1 hr ago. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: While ketorolac has a dosing schedule, addressing uncontrolled pain takes priority, and alternative pain management may be necessary. The client's reported pain level should be addressed first, and making judgments about drug-seeking behaviors is not appropriate without further assessment. Rectal administration may not provide rapid relief, and addressing the immediate pain concern is important. This action addresses the client's reported pain level effectively.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has been taking diazepam several times per day but recently ran out of the medication. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as a manifestation of withdrawal from diazepam?
Correct Answer: D
