Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for buspirone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Buspirone can cause drowsiness, a side effect to monitor. It's taken with or without food, anxiety relief takes weeks, and grapefruit enhances levels, but drowsiness is key.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a gastrectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dumping syndrome (rapid gastric emptying) is a risk post-gastrectomy, requiring monitoring. Supine isn't needed, diet starts low-carb, and fluid timing varies.
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 sunburn, so clients should use sun protection. Dairy reduces absorption, urine color isn't affected, and stopping early risks resistance.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: TPN's high glucose content requires frequent blood sugar checks (e.g., every 4-6 hr, but 12 hr is minimum). Tubing changes are every 24 hr, weight is daily, and it's given at room temp.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for dalteparin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dalteparin, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, requiring monitoring (e.g., bruising). It's subcutaneous (not IM), massaging increases bleeding, and it's not oral.
