Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for montelukast. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting mood changes is critical with montelukast, a leukotriene modifier, due to risk of neuropsychiatric effects. It's taken daily, not as needed, can be taken with or without food, and relief is not immediate.
Question 2 of 5
The provider has admitted the client to the inpatient obstetrics unit and written prescriptions based on the client's condition. The action the nurse should take first is Select from Options 1 followed by Select from Options 1.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Evaluating the fetal heart rate tracing is the priority to assess fetal well-being in preeclampsia, guiding further interventions. Urine collection, medications, and catheterization follow based on fetal status.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new diagnosis of heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dyspnea is expected in heart failure due to fluid overload and reduced cardiac output. Weak pulses, weight gain, and tachycardia are more common.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse instruct the client to take prior to initiating postural drainage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using an albuterol inhaler before postural drainage opens airways, aiding mucus clearance in cystic fibrosis. Eating risks vomiting, pancrelipase is for digestion, and oral hygiene is unrelated to drainage.
