Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for levofloxacin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Levofloxacin increases photosensitivity, risking burns; sunlight avoidance is key. Antacids reduce absorption, taste isn't common, and full course is needed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for lisinopril. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, commonly causes a dry cough. Antacids aren't needed, BP should decrease, and potassium monitoring is key but not the focus here.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A fever of 38.4°C post-op suggests infection, needing reporting. Drainage and moderate pain are expected, and HR is normal.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for levothyroxine. Which of the following statements by the client should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nervousness and jitteriness suggest possible levothyroxine overdose or hyperthyroidism, requiring provider attention.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with another nurse about how to change an ostomy appliance for a client who has a sigmoid colostomy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
