Question 1 of 5
An adolescent diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is having difficulty maintaining concentration in the inpatient milieu. Which nursing intervention would help improve the client's task performance?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dividing tasks into smaller, attainable steps and rewarding successful completion aligns with the principles of behavioral therapy and is likely to be effective for improving the task performance of an adolescent with ADHD. Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps can help reduce overwhelm and improve focus.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who takes warfarin $10 \mathrm{mg}$ PO daily and several herbal remedies. The nurse would be most concerned that the use of which herb would enhance the anticoagulant effects of warfarin?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ginkgo biloba has been reported to have anticoagulant properties and may potentiate the effects of warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding.
Therefore, individuals taking warfarin should exercise caution when using ginkgo supplements and be monitored closely for signs of bleeding or changes in anticoagulant response.
Question 3 of 5
A client is admitted to a Chemical Addictions Unit to stop using alcohol and to learn about sobriety. The client asks the nurse what medication the doctor has prescribed for possible alcohol withdrawal. The nurse explains that the physician prescribed:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oxazepam is a benzodiazepine and is often used for the management of alcohol withdrawal syndrome. It works by acting on the GABA receptors in the brain, which are the same receptors that alcohol affects, thus helping to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
Several children are seen in the ER for treatment of illnesses and injuries daily. The situation that would cause the nurse to have a high suspicion of child abuse would be:
