Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching the family of a client who has a new diagnosis of epilepsy about actions to take if the client experiences a seizure. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Moving objects away prevents injury during a seizure. Restraining risks harm, lying on back increases aspiration risk, and tongue blades can cause injury.

Question 2 of 5

A client who has a history of myocardial infarction (MI) is prescribed aspirin 325 mg. The nurse recognizes that the aspirin is given due to which of the following actions of the medication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Aspirin's antiplatelet effect prevents clot formation post-MI. Analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects are secondary.

Question 3 of 5

A health care provider has written an order for digoxin for the patient, but the nurse cannot read whether the order is for 0.25 mg or 0.125 mg. What action would be the best to prevent a medication error?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Clarifying with the provider ensures correct dosage, preventing errors. Consulting others or handbooks risks assumptions.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is educating nursing students on how to properly administer potassium chloride (KCL) via infusion. Which of the following statements below are true regarding KCL administration?

Correct Answer: A,B,C

Rationale: Insulin/dextrose treats hyperkalemia, IV KCL is never pushed to avoid arrhythmias, and infusion may cause irritation. Push boluses are dangerous, and position is irrelevant.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is modifying the diet of a client who is prescribed an MAOI. Which of the following foods should the nurse eliminate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Smoked sausage is high in tyramine, risking hypertensive crises with MAOIs. Vegetables, chicken, and cherries are safe.
