1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer carbamazepine to a client who has an NG tube. The provider orders 800 mg each day in two divided doses. Carbamazepine oral suspension is available in 20 mg/mL doses. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero when applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 20
Rationale:
To calculate the amount of carbamazepine oral suspension needed for each dose divide the total daily dose by the concentration of the suspension and then by the number of doses per day. 800 mg / 20 mg/mL / 2 = 20 mL. The nurse should administer 20 mL of carbamazepine oral suspension with each dose.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching about diabetic foot care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wearing cotton socks is appropriate as they allow for better air circulation. Cutting nails rounded at the corners can lead to ingrown toenails which is not recommended for individuals with diabetes. Using a mirror for daily foot inspection is a good practice to identify any issues early. Buying shoes late in the afternoon accounts for any swelling that may occur during the day which is a suitable practice for individuals with diabetes.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client's lower extremities and notes 6 mm pitting edema. Which of the following is appropriate documentation of this assessment finding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 1+ pitting edema is mild with a slight indentation. 4+ pitting edema is severe with a deep indentation that lasts a long time. 3+ pitting edema is moderate with a deeper indentation that takes some time to rebound. 2+ pitting edema is moderate with a slight indentation that rebounds fairly quickly.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client to help ease the passage of the catheter through the urinary meatus?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Raising the head off the pillow is not relevant to easing the passage of the catheter through the urinary meatus. Bearing down can help relax the pelvic floor muscles making it easier to insert the catheter through the urinary meatus. Holding the breath is not typically instructed during catheter insertion and may not aid in the ease of the procedure. Performing Kegel exercises involves contracting pelvic floor muscles which is not the desired action when inserting a urinary catheter.
Question 5 of 5
A parish nurse is developing a program of educational sessions to meet the needs of the older adults in the congregation. Which of the following is the best approach to enhance the development of suitable programs?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Surveying the target population is the best approach to identify the specific interests and health concerns of the older adults ensuring that the programs are relevant and tailored to their needs. Determining the availability of health care providers is a logistical consideration but may not necessarily address the specific interests or needs of the older adults. Basing the programs on their developmental stage is important but surveying the population allows for a more comprehensive understanding of their diverse needs and preferences. Reviewing Healthy People 2020 Objectives is a valuable resource but may not capture the specific interests or concerns of the local population.
