Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin glargine. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Injecting insulin glargine into the thigh is correct, as it's a long-acting insulin given in subcutaneous sites like the thigh. Shaking the vial is incorrect, it's not taken before meals, and open vials can be stored for 28 days.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is working with a client who has an anxiety disorder and is in the orientation phase of the therapeutic relationship. Which of the following statements should the nurse make during this phase?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During the orientation phase, establishing roles and expectations sets the foundation for a therapeutic relationship. Teaching relaxation exercises, discussing stress responses, or resources are more appropriate in later phases after trust is built.
Question 3 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing clients about the action of each medication promotes patient education, enhances adherence, and improves outcomes. Avoiding preparing medications for multiple clients reduces errors but is not an absolute rule. Reading labels multiple times is good practice but not always a standard requirement. Incident reports are needed only for adverse reactions or errors, not routine vomiting.
