Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medication administration record of a client who has a wound infection. The client has prescriptions for cefotetan and an NSAID. The nurse should monitor for which of the following medication interactions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bleeding risks increase as cefotetan affects clotting and NSAIDs inhibit platelets. Dysrhythmias, dizziness, and jaundice aren't primary interactions.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer morphine 0.1 mg/kg IM to a school-age child who weighs 66 lb. What is the dose that the nurse should administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: 66 lb ÷ 2.2 = 30 kg; 30 kg × 0.1 mg/kg = 3 mg.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic renal failure and is receiving epoetin alfa. To check for therapeutic effects, the nurse should monitor which of the following client laboratory tests?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hemoglobin levels measure epoetin alfa's effect on red blood cell production. Iron supports it, but platelets and WBCs aren't affected.
