Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for fluticasone via inhaler. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rinsing the mouth after fluticasone prevents oral thrush, a common side effect. Energy and urine color aren't affected, and it's dosed daily or as prescribed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a bowel resection. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Paralytic ileus (absent bowel sounds) is a risk post-bowel resection, requiring monitoring. Supine isn't needed, diet starts low-fiber, and coughing is encouraged with support.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for esomeprazole. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abdominal pain could signal a serious issue (e.g., ulcer complication) with esomeprazole, requiring reporting. It's taken before meals, doesn't affect appetite, and drowsiness isn't typical.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide, a diuretic, is effective if it increases urinary output, reducing fluid overload in heart failure. Hemoglobin, BUN, and weight changes aren't direct indicators of its efficacy here.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for linezolid. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Linezolid risks serotonin syndrome (e.g., agitation), especially with other serotonergic drugs, requiring monitoring. It's given slowly IV, diluted in saline, and dosed daily.
