Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which of the following client's medications should be monitored by the nurse for hearing loss related to a medication interaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide and amikacin is the correct combination. Both furosemide (a loop diuretic) and amikacin (an aminoglycoside antibiotic) have ototoxic potential, and their combined use increases the risk of hearing loss.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving ondansetron IV. Which of the following findings is an indication that the ondansetron is effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Decreased nausea is the primary indication that ondansetron is effective. Ondansetron is an antiemetic used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting, so a reduction in these symptoms indicates that the medication is working.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a prescription for cefaclor. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as an indication of an allergic reaction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pruritus, or itching, is a common sign of an allergic reaction to cefaclor. Allergic reactions to antibiotics often manifest as skin reactions, including itching, rashes, and hives.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has received oxycodone. The nurse notes that the client's respiratory rate is 8/min. The nurse should identify that which of the following is the pathophysiology for the client's respiratory rate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Oxycodone causes central nervous system depression is the correct explanation. Oxycodone, like other opioids, depresses the central nervous system, which can lead to respiratory depression by reducing the brainstem's responsiveness to carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin 1 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL via intermittent IV bolus over 30 minutes. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 50
Rationale:
Step 1: Determine the total volume (100 mL).
Step 2: Determine the time (30 minutes).
Step 3: Calculate the flow rate in mL/min (100 mL ÷ 30 min = 3.33 mL/min).
Step 4: Calculate gtt/min (3.33 mL/min × 15 gtt/mL = 49.95 gtt/min).
Step 5: Round to 50 gtt/min.
