Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol via a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Shaking the inhaler ensures medication mixing. Breath hold is 10 seconds, albuterol is for acute relief, and cleaning uses water, not alcohol.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Itching and hives signal a transfusion reaction (e.g., allergic), requiring immediate cessation and reporting. Mild fever, normal HR, and RR are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for levofloxacin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Levofloxacin increases photosensitivity, risking burns; sunlight avoidance is key. Antacids reduce absorption, taste isn't common, and full course is needed.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of alcoholism and reports abdominal pain. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Epigastric pain radiating to the back suggests pancreatitis, common in alcoholism, needing urgent reporting. Other findings are less specific or urgent.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for amitriptyline. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, causes drowsiness. Effects take weeks, it's taken with food, and dry mouth isn't a reason to stop.
