Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the iPLEDGE program with a female client who has a new prescription for isotretinoin. The nurse should tell the client that which of the following is a requirement of the program?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The iPLEDGE program requires sexually active female clients to use two forms of birth control due to isotretinoin's severe teratogenic effects. Mammograms, Pap tests, and vitamin A supplements are not part of this program's requirements.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for amoxicillin. Which of the following findings indicates that the client is having an allergic reaction to the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Wheezing suggests an allergic reaction (e.g., bronchospasm) to amoxicillin, a penicillin. Bradycardia, polyuria, and bruising are not typical allergic response signs.
Question 3 of 5

Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for glyburide. The client reports feeling anxious and having profuse sweating. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Glyburide lowers blood glucose; anxiety and sweating suggest hypoglycemia, so a decreased glucose level is expected. Chvostek's sign, edema, and reflexes relate to other conditions.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin to a client. For which of the following findings should the nurse withhold the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An apical pulse of 54/min is below the adult threshold of 60 bpm, indicating a risk of bradycardia with digoxin, which slows heart rate. Other findings (normal respiratory rate, hypertension, mild fever) do not warrant withholding the drug.
