Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client following a total gastrectomy. The nurse should instruct the client about which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-total gastrectomy, clients lack intrinsic factor, requiring vitamin B12 supplementation to prevent pernicious anemia. Ranitidine, vitamin K, and metoclopramide don't address this deficiency.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clear drainage from the surgical site may indicate a cerebrospinal fluid leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Pain, mild fever, and normal heart rate are expected post-craniotomy.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a urinary tract infection and is receiving ciprofloxacin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A vaginal yeast infection is a common side effect of ciprofloxacin due to altered flora, requiring provider notification for treatment. Tea-colored urine, cramping, and photosensitivity are less urgent or expected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of bipolar disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect during a manic episode?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rapid speech is typical in a manic episode of bipolar disorder, reflecting accelerated thoughts. Hypersomnia, weight gain, and flat affect are more associated with depression.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chest pain, often radiating, is a hallmark of myocardial infarction due to cardiac ischemia. Fever is not typical, tachycardia is more common, and edema is associated with heart failure.
