Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for celecoxib. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Celecoxib, an NSAID, increases bleeding risk, requiring monitoring (e.g., bruising). It's taken with food, urine color isn't affected, and stopping depends on the condition.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for phenytoin. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an adverse effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Phenytoin commonly causes gingival hyperplasia, a notable side effect. Appetite and weight aren't typically affected, and seizure control is the goal, not an adverse effect.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Monitoring cuff pressure every 8 hours prevents tracheal damage from overinflation. Suctioning is as needed, securing isn't to the jaw, and prone positioning depends on condition.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for lidocaine IV. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lidocaine IV, used for arrhythmias, can cause seizures if toxic, requiring monitoring. It's given per protocol (not 5 min), diluted in saline, and respiratory rate isn't primary.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a hysterectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vaginal bleeding post-hysterectomy signals hemorrhage, requiring monitoring. Ambulation is encouraged, coughing is supported, and cold compresses are as needed.
