Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for omeprazole. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking omeprazole at bedtime maximizes acid suppression overnight. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, nausea should be reported, and relief may take days, not be immediate.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for metoprolol. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring heart rate is essential with metoprolol, a beta-blocker, due to risk of bradycardia. Blood glucose, potassium, and urine output are less directly affected.
Question 3 of 5
A home care nurse is making a follow-up visit with a client who has COPD and is using a compressed oxygen system in his home. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing the oxygen tank away from curtains or drapes reduces fire risk, as oxygen supports combustion. Checking the gauge weekly is insufficient; it should be daily. Storing the wrench in a locked cabinet is unnecessary. Storing tanks under the bed risks leaks or fire hazards.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Reporting signs of infection is critical with prednisone, a corticosteroid, due to immunosuppression. Nervousness requires monitoring, it's taken with food, and calcium intake should increase to prevent osteoporosis.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Joint pain with activity is typical in osteoarthritis due to cartilage wear. Morning stiffness is shorter than in rheumatoid arthritis, and fever or weight loss are not characteristic.
