Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 4 mg via IV bolus to a client. The amount available is furosemide 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.4
Rationale:
To administer 4 mg of furosemide (10 mg/mL) divide 4 mg by 10 mg/mL = 0.4 mL. The answer is not rounded to a whole number as 0.4 mL is precise for IV bolus administration. Use a leading zero (0.4) and avoid trailing zeros.
Question 2 of 5
Which clinical manifestation is most reflective of an early response to hypoxia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Restlessness is an early sign of hypoxia as the brain responds to low oxygen levels with agitation. Cyanosis, apnea, and bradycardia are later signs, occurring after prolonged oxygen deprivation.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who is obese and has obstructive sleep apnea on how to decrease the number of nightly apneic episodes. Which client statement indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Weight loss reduces airway obstruction in obstructive sleep apnea, decreasing apneic episodes. Sleeping pills worsen obstruction, humidifiers don’t address episodes, and back sleeping exacerbates the condition.
