Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for sertraline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sertraline can cause insomnia, a key side effect to anticipate. It's taken flexibly, caffeine isn't restricted, and effects take weeks.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV fluids. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent phlebitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Changing the IV site every 72-96 hours reduces infection and phlebitis risk. Massaging, cold compresses, or large catheters don't prevent phlebitis.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A CPM machine promotes mobility and prevents stiffness as prescribed. Flexion timing varies, dependent positioning increases swelling, and diuretics aren't routine.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a thyroidectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor for?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Thyroidectomy risks hypoparathyroidism, leading to hypocalcemia, which can cause tetany or seizures. Hypotension, hyperglycemia, or bradycardia aren't primary concerns.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a bowel resection. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Redness and warmth at the incision suggest infection, requiring prompt reporting. Mild discomfort, hypoactive sounds, and flatus are expected post-resection.
