Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an IM injection to a client using a medication from an ampule. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: A

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has diabetes mellitus about using a glucometer to monitor her blood glucose. Which of the following actions should the nurse identify as an indication that the client understands the instructions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using the side of a fingertip is less painful and ensures adequate blood flow, unlike the ball of the finger or unnecessary avoidance of dominant hand or thumbs unless calloused.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer heparin subcutaneously to an obese client who has a deep vein thrombosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 90° angle suits obese clients' thicker subcutaneous tissue, unlike a larger gauge needle, massaging (risks bruising), or aspirating (unnecessary).
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving an IV infusion of dextrose 10% in water. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?
