Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for digoxin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting a heart rate less than 60/min is critical, as digoxin can cause bradycardia, indicating toxicity. High-fiber foods are not contraindicated, antacids may reduce absorption, and digoxin does not significantly increase urine production.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Polyuria is expected in type 2 diabetes due to hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis. Weight gain, tachycardia, and no fever are more common.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin glargine. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Injecting insulin glargine into the thigh is correct, as it's a long-acting insulin given in subcutaneous sites like the thigh. Shaking the vial is incorrect, it's not taken before meals, and open vials can be stored for 28 days.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a left-sided pneumothorax and a chest tube in place with a closed drainage system. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Continuous bubbling in the water seal chamber indicates an air leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Tidaling is normal, 100 mL output is expected, and absent left-sided breath sounds are consistent with pneumothorax.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received hydromorphone 4 mg IV 15 min ago. The client has a respiratory rate of 10/min. The nurse should prepare to administer which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, reverses hydromorphone-induced respiratory depression, indicated by a rate of 10/min, preventing potential respiratory arrest. Diazepam would worsen sedation, and acetaminophen and ibuprofen don't address opioid overdose.
