Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardians of a 6-year-old child who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Do not include your child when making decisions about treatmentB. Ensure that your child does not receive the influenza vaccine annuallyC. Have your child wear a medical identification wristbandD. Provide homeschooling for your child

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A medical ID wristband alerts others to CF in emergencies. Involving the child, annual flu vaccines, and school decisions depend on individual needs.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for metoprolol. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. Take this medication with grapefruit juiceB. You might experience bradycardiaC. You should expect your blood pressure to increaseD. Stop this medication if you feel tired

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, can cause bradycardia. Grapefruit is avoided, BP decreases, and tiredness isn't a reason to stop.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Encourage the client to perform arm exercises on the affected sideB. Place the affected arm in a dependent positionC. Apply a heating pad to the incision siteD. Instruct the client to avoid using the affected arm

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Arm exercises prevent lymphedema. Dependent position worsens swelling, heat risks infection, and immobilization isn't advised.

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. You can stop this medication abruptly if you feel betterB. Take this medication with a mealC. You should expect to lose weight while taking this medicationD. Avoid getting live vaccines while taking this medication

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Prednisone suppresses immunity; live vaccines are contraindicated. Abrupt stopping risks adrenal crisis, it's taken with food, and weight gain is common.

A. Obtain the client's vital signsB. Administer oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannulaC. Notify the providerD. Check the client's chart for a history of cardiac disease
