Extract:
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 caring for a client who has a new prescription for bupropion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bupropion lowers seizure threshold, requiring monitoring. Drowsiness isn't typical (it's stimulating), milk isn't needed, and BP isn't primary.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dementia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dementia typically involves memory loss severe enough to disrupt activities of daily living (ADLs), unlike catatonia, illusions, or pressured speech, which aren't defining features.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ice packs reduce swelling and pain post-arthroplasty. Elevation, frequent bleeding checks, and CPM use are standard.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness due to fluid loss or low BP. It's taken in the morning, decreases potassium, and orange juice is fine.
