Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a duodenal ulcer and has a new prescription for sucralfate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sucralfate works best on an empty stomach to coat the ulcer, unlike stopping for constipation, taking with antacids (interferes), or needing to stay upright.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 15 mg subcutaneously. The amount available is morphine injection 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 15 mg / 10 mg/mL = 1.5 mL ensures the correct subcutaneous dose.
Question 3 of 5
Before administering intravenous (IV) amoxicillin, the nurse should do what?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assessing for allergies prevents severe reactions to amoxicillin, taking priority over flushing, I&O review, or creatinine clearance unless specifically indicated.
Question 4 of 5
A patient has been admitted to the postsurgical nursing unit after surgery. The health care provider has ordered the patient to have an IV of 0.9 sodium chloride. The nurse who is caring for the patient recognizes this as what type of solution?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 0.9% sodium chloride is isotonic, matching blood plasma osmolarity, unlike hypnotic (not a solution type), hypotonic, or hypertonic options.
Question 5 of 5
During a clinical rotation on an orthopedic unit, a nursing student is caring for a 67-year-old patient who has undergone a knee replacement. The patient is complaining of pain at the IV site. The nursing student assesses the site and finds that the site is cool, blanched and slightly swollen. The student stops the IV and reports the situation to the nurse. What does the nursing student suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cool, blanched, and swollen IV site indicates infiltration from fluid leakage, not inflammation, thrombophlebitis, or phlebitis which involve warmth and redness.
