Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A patient has been admitted to the postsurgical nursing unit after surgery. The health care provider has ordered the patient to have an IV of 0.9 sodium chloride. The nurse who is caring for the patient recognizes this as what type of solution?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 0.9% sodium chloride is isotonic, matching blood plasma osmolarity, unlike hypnotic (not a solution type), hypotonic, or hypertonic options.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion through a short-peripheral device. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Changing IV solution every 48-72 hr reduces infection risk, unlike less frequent tubing changes or unnecessary frequent dressing/site checks.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has diabetes mellitus about using a glucometer to monitor her blood glucose. Which of the following actions should the nurse identify as an indication that the client understands the instructions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using the side of a fingertip is less painful and ensures adequate blood flow, unlike the ball of the finger or unnecessary avoidance of dominant hand or thumbs unless calloused.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a prescription for amoxicillin 5 mL PO. How many teaspoons (tsp) should the nurse instruct the client to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 5 mL equals approximately 1 tsp (1.014 tsp), making 1 tsp the correct instruction.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 400 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride IV over 8 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 60 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: (400 mL / 480 min) x 60 gtt/mL = 50 gtt/min delivers the volume accurately over 8 hours.
