Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking enoxaparin. The client reports starting the use of dietary supplements. The nurse should report the use of which of the following supplements to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ginkgo biloba increases bleeding risk with enoxaparin, requiring provider notification. Echinacea, flaxseed, and probiotics do not interact significantly with enoxaparin.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has heart failure. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Frequent rest periods manage fatigue in heart failure. Fluid encouragement worsens overload, vital signs need more frequent checks, and weekly weights miss daily changes.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has chronic kidney disease about dietary modifications. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Limiting potassium prevents hyperkalemia in kidney disease. Protein is restricted, dairy increases phosphorus, and grains don't address key restrictions.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a closed-chest tube drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring drainage detects complications like pneumothorax. Clamping risks pressure buildup, pinning causes traction, and units are replaced only if faulty.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse caring for a client reviews the medical record and determines the client is at risk for developing a potassium deficit because of which situation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nasogastric suction removes gastric secretions that contain potassium, leading to a loss of potassium from the body, which can cause hypokalemia. Addison's disease and tissue damage cause hyperkalemia, and uric acid levels are unrelated to potassium.
