Question 1 of 5
A nurse is presenting a class about fall prevention to a group of assisted-living residents. Which of the following statements by a resident best indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Using handrails in the bathroom promotes safety by providing support and stability, reducing the risk of falls. This indicates an understanding of fall prevention.
Choice B about a longer telephone cord is unrelated to fall prevention.
Choice C increases the risk of tripping over cords.
Choice D suggests using chairs without armrests can affect stability and increase the risk of falls.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer lansoprazole 30 mg PO daily to a client. The amount available is lansoprazole 10 mg per tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose?
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The correct answer is 3 tablets.
To achieve a total dose of 30 mg daily, with each tablet containing 10 mg, the nurse should administer 3 tablets per dose. This calculation ensures the client receives the prescribed dosage. Other choices are incorrect because administering fewer tablets would result in an inadequate dose, while administering more tablets would exceed the prescribed dosage, potentially leading to adverse effects. It is essential to follow precise calculations to ensure safe and effective medication administration.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for chlorpromazine. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I may have a dry mouth while taking this medication." This is correct because chlorpromazine is an antipsychotic medication known to cause dry mouth as a common side effect due to its anticholinergic properties. Dry mouth is a potential adverse effect that the client should be aware of.
Choice B is incorrect because chlorpromazine does not typically cause increased urination.
Choice C is incorrect because chlorpromazine is not indicated for smoking cessation.
Choice D is incorrect because flu-like symptoms are not a common side effect of chlorpromazine.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has paranoid personality disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B,E
Rationale: The correct answer is B and E. Individuals with paranoid personality disorder often persistently hold grudges (choice
B) due to their distrust of others. They also tend to believe that others are deceiving them (choice E), reflecting their suspicious nature.
Choices A, C, and D are not typical of paranoid personality disorder. A person with this disorder does not see themselves as inferior (
A) or demonstrate a grandiose sense of self-importance (
C). Additionally, they do not desire to be the center of attention (
D). Hence, choices A, C, and D are not expected findings in individuals with paranoid personality disorder.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The pharmacy is delayed in supplying the client’s next container of TPN. Which of the following fluids should the nurse infuse until the next container arrives?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Dextrose 10% in water. When TPN is delayed, it is important to provide a temporary source of glucose to prevent hypoglycemia. Dextrose 10% in water is the most appropriate choice as it provides a higher concentration of glucose compared to Dextrose 5%, helping to maintain the client's blood glucose levels until the TPN is available. 0.9% sodium chloride does not provide glucose which is essential in TPN replacement. Lactated Ringer’s solution does not contain glucose and is not suitable for providing caloric support.
