Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing change-of-shift report for a client. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?
Correct Answer: A

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for diltiazem. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, can cause bradycardia, requiring monitoring. Grapefruit increases levels, it's given slowly IV, and glucose isn't affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dobutamine. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dobutamine, a vasopressor, affects blood pressure, requiring hourly monitoring for titration. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Adding humidity prevents nasal dryness from oxygen. Taping all connections isn't standard, snug securing may irritate, and coughing frequency depends on condition.
