Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer diazepam 2 mg twice daily via NG tube. Available is diazepam oral solution 5 mg/1 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To administer 2 mg of diazepam using a 5 mg/1 mL solution calculate: 2 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 0.4 mL per dose. Other options (0.8 mL 1 mL 1.6 mL) result in incorrect dosing either overdosing or underdosing the client.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a postoperative client and observes evisceration of the abdominal surgical wound. After covering the wound with a sterile,saline-soaked dressing which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Preparing the client for emergency surgery is critical as evisceration is a surgical emergency requiring immediate intervention to repair the wound and secure exposed organs. Lying flat may increase pressure on organs increasing risk. Increasing fluid intake is not a priority in this acute situation. Applying pressure could damage exposed organs and is contraindicated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has heart failure and a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend to the client as the best source of potassium?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1 cup of cantaloupe is the best source of potassium among the options providing a moderate amount to help maintain balanced potassium levels crucial for heart health in clients taking furosemide which can deplete potassium. Lettuce tuna and raspberries have lower potassium content compared to cantaloupe.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is using a Doppler ultrasound stethoscope to assess the pedal pulses of a client who has peripheral vascular disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Moving the probe until a whooshing sound (Doppler sound) is heard confirms blood flow accurately assessing pedal pulses. Firm pressure risks compressing vessels the exterior ankle is not ideal and a 30° angle is not standard for Doppler use.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning a community education session about the basic principles of first aid. Which of the following teaching strategies should the nurse implement for a group of adult learners in a community setting?
