Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has hypertension and a new prescription for spironolactone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spironolactone, a diuretic, increases urine output. It's potassium-sparing (not limiting), may cause hair growth in high doses, and timing varies.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol via a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Shaking the inhaler ensures medication mixing. Breath hold is 10 seconds, albuterol is for acute relief, and cleaning uses water, not alcohol.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of alcoholism and reports abdominal pain. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Epigastric pain radiating to the back suggests pancreatitis, common in alcoholism, needing urgent reporting. Other findings are less specific or urgent.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for metoprolol. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, can cause bradycardia. Grapefruit is avoided, BP decreases, and tiredness isn't a reason to stop.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse on a pediatric unit is caring for a toddler who has poor dietary intake. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse's first action should be to obtain the child's dietary history to understand current eating habits, preferences, and barriers, enabling tailored interventions. This assessment precedes other actions like family involvement, snacks, or reinforcement, which depend on knowing the root cause.
