A nurse is reviewing the medication record of a client who has hypertension. Which of the following medications should the nurse administer to lower the client's blood pressure?
Correct Answer: B

A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a client through an enteral feeding tube. Which of the following interventions is appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flush the tube with 30 mL of water between each medication prevents clogging and ensures proper delivery, minimizing interactions. Adding to the feeding bag alters absorption, checking residual after is incorrect timing, and 15° elevation is insufficient 30-45° is required.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a list of current medications for a client who is starting therapy with furosemide. Which of the following medications should the nurse identify as being contraindicated?
Correct Answer: C

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has prescriptions for spironolactone and lisinopril. The nurse should monitor for which of the following adverse effects?
