Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for fexofenadine tablets to treat seasonal allergies. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fexofenadine may cause dizziness or drowsiness, so avoiding driving until effects are known is prudent. Magnesium hydroxide has no specific interaction, fluid intake isn't restricted to 1 liter, and orange juice reduces absorption.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who received levalbuterol 30 min ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a therapeutic effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Levalbuterol, a bronchodilator, reduces wheezing by relaxing airway muscles, its primary therapeutic effect. Increased respiratory rate or heart rate are side effects, and it doesn't treat nausea.
