Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin detemir. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Insulin detemir requires consistent timing for stable glucose control. Shaking clouds it, hypoglycemia isn't typical at night, and it shouldn't be mixed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Arm exercises prevent lymphedema and stiffness post-mastectomy. Elevation, frequent infection checks, and sling use are standard.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring temperature hourly detects transfusion reactions early. Dextrose damages blood cells, 2-4 hours is standard, and dual verification of blood type is required.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for sumatriptan. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sumatriptan can cause chest pain (vasoconstriction), requiring monitoring. It's PRN for migraines, taken without regard to meals, and respiratory rate isn't primary.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for morphine sulfate 2 mg IV every 4 hr PRN for pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring respiratory rate prevents overdose risks (e.g., respiratory depression) with morphine. It's given slowly, diluted in less volume, and stored securely.
