Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spinach, high in vitamin K, can reduce warfarin's anticoagulant effect, so intake should be consistent or limited. Oranges, chicken, and potatoes have minimal impact.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Polyuria is expected in type 2 diabetes due to hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis. Weight gain, tachycardia, and no fever are more common.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride. The nurse notes that the IV site is red and swollen. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stopping the infusion is the first action to prevent further tissue damage from phlebitis, indicated by redness and swelling. Notifying the provider, administering antihistamines, or applying a compress follow after stopping the infusion.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following laboratory tests should the nurse plan to monitor?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prothrombin time (PT/INR) monitors warfarin's anticoagulant effect, ensuring therapeutic levels. Hemoglobin, creatinine, and glucose are unrelated to warfarin's action.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a school-age child who has hypothyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lethargy is expected in hypothyroidism due to slowed metabolism, causing fatigue. Diarrhea, tachycardia, and hirsutism are not typical; constipation and bradycardia are more common.
