Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medication history of a client. The nurse should identify that which of the following medications places the client at risk for hypokalemia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that increases the excretion of potassium, leading to a significant risk of hypokalemia. Regular monitoring of potassium levels is necessary.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching for a client who has chronic kidney disease about the process of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: CAPD involves continuous dialysis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with multiple exchanges of dialysate throughout the day to manage CKD symptoms.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer levothyroxine 275 mcg PO to a client. The amount available is levothyroxine 137 mcg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. DO not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: 275 mcg / 137 mcg/tablet = 2.007, rounded to 2 tablets.
Question 4 of 5
For the 0700 to 1500 shift, the patient drinks 240 mL of coffee, 60 mL of milk, and 120 mL of apple juice at breakfast. For lunch, the patient takes 8 oz of broth and drinks 10 oz of water for the shift. What is the total intake for the 0700 to 1500 shift?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To calculate total intake: 240 mL (coffee) + 60 mL (milk) + 120 mL (apple juice) + 8 oz (broth) * 30 mL/oz = 240 mL + 10 oz (water) * 30 mL/oz = 300 mL.
Total = 240 + 60 + 120 + 240 + 300 = 960 mL. The provided correct answer is B (660), suggesting a possible error in the document, but based on calculation, 960 mL is accurate. However, adhering to the document, B is selected.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is checking patency of a new right arm AV fistula. What action does the nurse use to do this?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Palpating for a thrill and auscultating for a bruit over the fistula is the correct method for assessing its patency. These signs confirm proper blood flow through the fistula.
