Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin aspart. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Storing insulin aspart in the refrigerator maintains potency. It's taken 5-10 minutes before meals, shaking is incorrect, and it's clear, not cloudy.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of epilepsy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Missing a dose of carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant, increases seizure risk, requiring provider notification. Metallic taste, seizure-free periods, or normal sleep are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of migraines. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Visual disturbances, like auras, are common in migraines, often preceding headache. Leg pain, chest tightness, and abdominal cramping are not typical migraine symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 5-year-old child who has diabetes insipidus and is receiving desmopressin. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cessation of nocturnal enuresis indicates desmopressin is reducing excessive urination, a key symptom of diabetes insipidus. Heart rate, capillary refill, and hypoglycemia are unrelated to desmopressin's action on water balance.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of diverticulitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Left lower quadrant pain is typical in diverticulitis due to inflamed sigmoid colon diverticula. Fever and diarrhea may occur, but right upper quadrant pain is unrelated.
