Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for a medicated foot powder. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Wearing socks after applying medicated foot powder helps keep the medication in place and prevents spreading.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen solution 60 mg orally to a 7-month-old infant who is febrile. Available is ibuprofen 50 mg/1.25 mL. How many should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct dose is 1.5 mL.
To calculate: (60 mg / 50 mg) * 1.25 mL = 1.5 mL. This ensures the infant receives the prescribed 60 mg of ibuprofen.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for isosorbide mononitrate. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor for?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Isosorbide mononitrate, a nitrate, commonly causes headaches due to vasodilation, especially when starting therapy.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is scheduled for a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fasting for 6 hours before a TEE reduces the risk of aspiration during the procedure, which involves sedation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. The nurse identifies that the client has urticaria and is wheezing. Which of the following types of transfusion reactions should the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An anaphylactic reaction is correct. Symptoms such as urticaria (hives) and wheezing indicate a severe allergic reaction, which can progress to anaphylaxis. This reaction is caused by a hypersensitivity to plasma proteins in the transfused blood and requires immediate intervention, including stopping the transfusion and administering epinephrine.
