Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer cefotaxime 100 mg IM to a client. How many grams (g) should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.1 g. Cefotaxime is typically dosed in milligrams (mg), not grams (g).
To convert mg to g, divide the dose by 1000 since 1 g = 1000 mg.
Therefore, 100 mg of cefotaxime is equal to 0.1 g.
Choice A (10 g) is way too high and would be toxic.
Choice B (100 g) is even higher and would be extremely dangerous.
Choice D and the subsequent choices are not provided, so they are not applicable.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer Dofetilide 200 mcg PO to a client. Available is Dofetilide 50 mcg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4 tabs.
To achieve a dose of 200 mcg, the nurse should administer 4 tablets of 50 mcg each (4 x 50 = 200 mcg). This calculation ensures the client receives the prescribed dose accurately. Other choices are incorrect because they do not add up to the required dose of 200 mcg: B (3 x 50 = 150 mcg), C (2 x 50 = 100 mcg), and D (1 x 50 = 50 mcg).
Therefore, administering 4 tablets is the correct and accurate dosage calculation in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with teaching a newly licensed nurse about pain. Which of the following is an example of acute pain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Surgical incision. Acute pain is sudden and short-term, typically resulting from tissue damage like a surgical incision. Fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and rheumatoid arthritis are chronic pain conditions with long-lasting or recurring pain. Acute pain is usually well-localized and has a clear cause, unlike the other conditions mentioned. It is important for the nurse to recognize the difference between acute and chronic pain to provide appropriate care and management.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who had radiation therapy, prescribed by their Oncologist, and is experiencing painful dermatitis. The nurse should identify the client is experiencing which of the following types of pain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Neuropathic pain. Radiation therapy can damage nerves, leading to neuropathic pain characterized by shooting, burning, or tingling sensations. This type of pain is often chronic and difficult to treat. Chronic pain (
A) is persistent but not necessarily neuropathic. Acute pain (
C) is sudden and short-lived. Cancer pain (
D) is caused by the tumor itself, not radiation therapy-induced dermatitis.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client about medications. Which of the following client statements indicate an understanding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Storing narcotic medications in the original package helps ensure proper identification, dosage, and expiration dates. It also prevents confusion with other medications.
Choice A is incorrect because unused narcotic medications should be disposed of properly, not in a trash container.
Choice C is incorrect as obtaining medications from different pharmacies can lead to drug interactions and duplicate therapy.
Choice D is incorrect as over-the-counter medications should be stored in a secure, locked cabinet to prevent accidental ingestion, especially by children.
