Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for omeprazole. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abdominal pain could signal a serious side effect (e.g., ulcer perforation) with omeprazole, requiring reporting. It's taken before meals, doesn't increase stools, and urine color isn't affected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hourly monitoring detects infiltration early, preventing complications. Heparin isn't routine, site changes are typically every 72-96 hours, and once-per-shift checks are insufficient.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse at a provider's office is caring for a client who is in the third trimester of pregnancy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Blurred vision in the third trimester may indicate preeclampsia, a serious condition requiring immediate reporting. Other findings are common pregnancy symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warfarin increases bleeding risk, so unusual bleeding must be reported. Potassium isn't restricted, urine color change isn't typical, and appetite isn't affected.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of lactated Ringer's solution. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fluid overload (e.g., dyspnea) is a risk with IV fluids, requiring monitoring. Site changes are every 72-96 hr, heparin isn't routine, and rate depends on orders.
