Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warfarin increases bleeding risk, so unusual bleeding must be reported. Potassium isn't restricted, urine color change isn't typical, and appetite isn't affected.
Question 2 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?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hourly monitoring detects infiltration early, preventing complications. Heparin isn't routine, site changes are typically every 72-96 hours, and once-per-shift checks are insufficient.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an indwelling catheter with a urinary drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Securing tubing to the abdomen prevents tugging and maintains flow, reducing infection risk. Coiling above the bag, holding at waist, or sampling from the bag increase infection risk.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Arm exercises prevent lymphedema and stiffness post-mastectomy. Elevation, not dependent positioning, frequent infection checks, and sling use are standard.
