A. Take this medication with an antacidB. You might experience diarrheaC. You should stop this medication if you feel better after 3 daysD. You can expect your urine to turn orange

Question 3 of 5

A. Position the client flatB. Monitor the client's neurological statusC. Apply a warm compress to the incision siteD. Encourage the client to cough forcefully

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Neuro checks detect complications post-craniotomy. HOB is elevated, heat risks swelling, and coughing increases ICP.

A. The client reports taking ginseng dailyB. The client's INR is 2.0C. The client has a history of hypertensionD. The client reports occasional headaches

A. Check the IV site every 8 hrB. Change the IV tubing every 72 hrC. Flush the IV catheter with saline every 24 hrD. Monitor the infusion rate every shift
