Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for duloxetine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Duloxetine can cause drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option. Appetite changes take time, urine color isn't affected, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is reinforcing teaching about skin care with a client who has a new diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Patting skin dry is gentle and appropriate for SLE, which can cause skin sensitivity. Tanning beds worsen symptoms, and astringents or antibacterial soaps may irritate.

A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for bupropion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bupropion lowers seizure threshold, requiring monitoring. Drowsiness isn't typical (it's stimulating), milk isn't needed, and BP isn't primary.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing change-of-shift report for a client. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?
