Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with care of a client who has a prescription for 3,000 mL of intravenous fluids over the next 24 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr?

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.

A client who is taking nitrofurantoin for a urinary tract infection voices a concern to the clinic nurse about experiencing numbness and tingling of the hands and feet. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?

Question 5 of 5
During a clinical rotation on an orthopedic unit, a nursing student is caring for a 67-year-old patient who has undergone a knee replacement. The patient is complaining of pain at the IV site. The nursing student assesses the site and finds that the site is cool, blanched and slightly swollen. The student stops the IV and reports the situation to the nurse.
