Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide causes potassium loss (hypokalemia). Morning dosing prevents nocturia, daily weighing monitors fluid, and sodium isn't the focus here.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse in a long-term care facility notices the smell of alcohol on a nurse's breath. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Removing the nurse prioritizes patient safety over reassignment, documentation, or supervisor contact.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a nasogastric tube in place for enteral feeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Checking residual every 4–8 hr ensures tolerance. Flushing needs 30 mL, supine risks aspiration, and warming to body temp (37°
C) is safer.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Enoxaparin risks thrombocytopenia; platelet monitoring is key. It's SQ, not massaged, and glucose isn't relevant.
Question 5 of 5
