Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is receiving IV fluid replacement to treat diarrhea but now has oliguria. Laboratory results include a potassium level of 5.6 mEq/L. The nurse should report which of the following findings to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Palpitations signal potential cardiac arrhythmias from hyperkalemia, needing urgent reporting. Other symptoms are less immediately critical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is inserting an indwelling urinary catheter for a male client. After inserting the catheter 15 cm (6 in), the nurse feels resistance and no urine flows through the catheter. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gentle twisting navigates resistance safely. Inflating early, adding gel, or angling won't resolve it.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a medication from an ampule. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A filter needle prevents glass shards in the syringe. Diluent, post-opening cleaning, and air injection aren't needed for ampules.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is showing a newly licensed nurse how to use a mechanical lift. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of this assistive device?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Mechanical lifts aid non-assisting clients safely. Sling placement, holding sides, and strength requirements are incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's medication administration record at 1930. The nurse notes that the documentation for the 1700 regular insulin dose is missing. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Contacting the previous nurse clarifies administration, preventing errors. Pharmacy forms, client recall, and giving it now risk inaccuracies.
