Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has diabetes mellitus about a 24-hour creatinine clearance test. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a 24-hour creatinine clearance test, the client discards the first morning void and collects all urine for the next 24 hours to measure kidney function accurately. Protein-rich diets can skew results, glucose levels aren't relevant, and antiseptics may contaminate the sample.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has hypertension and a new prescription for verapamil. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Verapamil interacts with grapefruit, increasing drug levels and side effects. Weight gain, gum bleeding, and energy boosts aren't typical effects.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse at a provider's office is caring for a client who is in the third trimester of pregnancy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Blurred vision in the third trimester may indicate preeclampsia, a serious condition requiring immediate reporting. Other findings are common pregnancy symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hourly monitoring detects phlebitis early, preventing complications. Site changes are every 72-96 hr, heparin isn't routine, and rate depends on orders.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
