Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prednisone can cause weight gain due to fluid retention and appetite increase. It's taken with food, tapered gradually, and dairy isn't restricted.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse at an outpatient clinic receives a call from a client who reports experiencing syncope after starting a new prescription for enalapril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enalapril can cause hypotension, leading to syncope. Rising slowly prevents sudden blood pressure drops. Potassium, pulse-based withholding, or fluid reduction aren't directly related.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent dislocation?
Correct Answer: A

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a thyroidectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
