Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for clopidogrel. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clopidogrel increases bleeding risk, leading to more bruising. It's taken regardless of meals, black stools signal GI bleeding (not typical), and grapefruit isn't a concern.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for gabapentin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gabapentin often causes drowsiness, a key side effect. Milk isn't required, energy may decrease, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal or seizures.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning to obtain a 12-lead ECG for a client who has a history of cardiac dysrhythmias. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Remaining still ensures an accurate ECG reading of heart activity. Orthopneic position aids breathing, BP cuffs aren't needed, and no stinging occurs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for buspirone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Buspirone can cause drowsiness, a side effect to monitor. It's taken with or without food, anxiety relief takes weeks, and grapefruit enhances levels, but drowsiness is key.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for montelukast. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Montelukast can cause drowsiness, a side effect to note. It's taken at night, improves symptoms over time, and stopping risks recurrence.
