Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about dietary supplements to a client who has erectile dysfunction and has been prescribed nitroglycerin. Which of the following statements is the most important for the nurse to include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dietary supplements can interact with nitroglycerin, causing dangerous hypotension, making this the most critical teaching point. Other statements are valid but less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a client following a hemodialysis treatment. The nurse should expect to find a decrease in which of the following laboratory values?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hemodialysis removes excess potassium, which is critical in renal failure to prevent cardiac complications. RBC count, calcium, and protein levels are not primarily targeted by dialysis.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. The nurse misread the client's morning blood glucose level as 210 mg/dL instead of 120 mg/dL and administered the insulin dose appropriate for a reading over 200 mg/dL before the client's breakfast. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring for hypoglycemia is the priority due to the risk of low blood sugar from the incorrect insulin dose.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting the medical history from a client who has manifestations of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). The nurse should ask the client if they have a history of which of the following conditions that can cause SIADH?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Lung cancer, especially small cell type, is a common cause of SIADH due to ectopic antidiuretic hormone production.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has hepatitis A about preventing the transmission of the virus. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Effective hand hygiene is critical to prevent hepatitis A transmission, which occurs via the fecal-oral route. Avoiding raw foods or fast food restaurants is less relevant unless contaminated during handling. Barrier protection is not necessary, as hepatitis A is not typically sexually transmitted.
