Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client regarding reduction of risk factors for coronary artery disease. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,C

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an elevated potassium level and is on a cardiac monitor. The nurse is aware that hyperkalemia may be associated with changes to the T-wave. On the graphic, point and click on the area of the electrocardiogram (ECG) that represents the T wave.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The T wave, representing ventricular repolarization, is the prominent upward wave following the QRS complex. Hyperkalemia may cause tall, peaked T waves.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin IVPB over 20 min. Available is cefazolin 1 g in 100 mL of dextrose 5% in water (DSW). The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15gtt/mL. The nurse should set the IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Calculate: (100 mL ÷ 20 min) × 15 gtt/mL = 75 gtt/min. This ensures accurate delivery of the antibiotic over the prescribed time.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is taking enalapril (Vasotec). Which of the following outcomes indicates a therapeutic effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enalapril, an ACE inhibitor, lowers blood pressure by preventing vasoconstriction and reducing fluid retention. It does not directly treat claudication or affect cholesterol levels.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires isolation for active pulmonary tuberculosis. Which of the following precautions should the nurse take to prevent the spread of infection? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: C,D,E
Rationale: C: A surgical mask on the client during transport prevents droplet spread. D: Healthcare providers must wear an N95 mask to protect against airborne particles. E: A closed door maintains negative pressure in the isolation room. A is unnecessary as the client doesn't need a mask when alone, and B is incorrect as TB requires airborne, not contact, precautions.
