Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol can cause tachycardia, a side effect to anticipate. It's used as needed, not daily, mouth rinsing is for steroids, and it treats, not prevents, attacks.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports he has headaches after taking chewable isosorbide dinitrate. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Headaches from isosorbide dinitrate often diminish over time as the body adjusts. Swallowing whole, taking on an empty stomach, or discontinuing aren't recommended.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a hip replacement. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a hysterectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: Ambulation prevents complications like thromboembolism. Deep breathing aids recovery, warm compresses risk infection, and sedatives aren't routine.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV fluids with potassium chloride. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
