Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for escitalopram. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Escitalopram can cause sweating, a side effect to anticipate. Timing is flexible, dairy isn't restricted, and relief takes weeks.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Furosemide can cause hypokalemia, so potassium levels must be monitored. Sodium, calcium, or magnesium aren't primarily affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with the caregiver of a client who has a dependent personality disorder. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Encouraging assertiveness promotes independence, countering dependency tendencies. Limiting interactions or making decisions for the client reinforces dependence, and no-harm contracts are unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Checking for clots ensures catheter patency, critical for irrigation. Output monitoring is secondary, manual irrigation isn't routine, and antibiotics depend on orders.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take if a transfusion reaction is suspected?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Stopping the transfusion prevents further reaction. Increasing the rate worsens it, diphenhydramine is secondary, and leg elevation is unrelated.
