Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has an electrolyte imbalance. Which of the following foods should the nurse include as the highest in potassium?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sweet potatoes are high in potassium (541 mg per medium serving), aiding electrolyte balance. Chicken, wheat bread, and canned green beans have lower potassium content (<300 mg per serving).
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of vancomycin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Redness at the IV site indicates phlebitis or extravasation, requiring provider notification with vancomycin, which is irritating to veins. Normal creatinine, urine output, and blood pressure are not urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is caring for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Wearing a gown during personal hygiene prevents MRSA contact transmission. PPE is removed before leaving, negative air pressure is for airborne infections, and visitors aren't restricted but need PPE education.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a left-sided pneumothorax and a chest tube in place with a closed drainage system. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Continuous bubbling in the water seal chamber indicates an air leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Tidaling is normal, 100 mL output is expected, and absent left-sided breath sounds are consistent with pneumothorax.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who states he recently purchased lavender oil to use when he gets the flu. The nurse should recognize which of the following findings as a potential contraindication for using lavender?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lavender oil can irritate airways and exacerbate asthma, making it a contraindication. Furosemide, alcohol use disorder, and vitamin C have no direct interactions with lavender oil.
