Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen solution 60 mg orally to a 7-month-old infant who is febrile. Available is ibuprofen 50 mg/1.25 mL. How many should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct dose is 1.5 mL.
To calculate: (60 mg / 50 mg) * 1.25 mL = 1.5 mL. This ensures the infant receives the prescribed 60 mg of ibuprofen.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following over-the-counter medications should the nurse identify as safe for use with warfarin?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Docusate is correct. Docusate is a stool softener, and it does not have a significant effect on blood clotting.
Therefore, it is considered safe for use with warfarin, which requires careful monitoring to avoid interactions that may increase bleeding risks.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has Clostridium difficile. When applying a cover gown, which of the following techniques should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Applying the gown before the gloves is correct. According to infection control guidelines, the gown should be worn first, followed by gloves. This technique ensures that the gown covers the sleeves properly and that the gloves are overlapping the gown cuffs, reducing the risk of contamination.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who is postoperative following a thyroidectomy. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client is developing a thyroid storm?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypertension is correct. Thyroid storm is a severe, acute exacerbation of hyperthyroidism, and it is associated with hypertension, tachycardia, fever, and other symptoms of sympathetic nervous system overactivity.
