Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform hand hygiene with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sanitizer must cover all hand surfaces, including around rings. Rinsing negates efficacy, towels recontaminate, and drying occurs naturally, not for 20 seconds.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a public clinic is planning a health fair for older adult clients in the community. In teaching medication safety, which of the following foods should the nurse advise the clients to avoid when taking their prescriptions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Grapefruit juice inhibits CYP3A4, increasing drug levels and toxicity risk. Orange juice, milk, and carbonated beverages are generally safe.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has difficulty swallowing medications and is prescribed enteric-coated aspirin PO once daily. The client asks if the medication can be crushed to make it easier to swallow. Which of the following responses should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Crushing enteric-coated aspirin destroys the coating, risking stomach irritation or ulcers. It doesn’t release all at once, isn’t safe to crush, and doesn’t destroy ingredients.
