Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dizziness is a common side effect of tamsulosin due to orthostatic hypotension. Weight gain isn't typical. Morning dosing isn't required; bedtime is common. Dry mouth is rare.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a nephrectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A temperature of 38.6°C suggests infection, requiring reporting. Urine output of 50 mL/hr is adequate. Pain of 4/10 and serous drainage are normal post-op.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following an appendectomy. The client reports pain at the incision site, and the nurse notes redness and warmth. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Notifying the provider is appropriate for signs of infection (redness, warmth, pain). Warm compresses may worsen infection. Antibiotics require a prescription after evaluation. Ambulation doesn't address infection.
