Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with glaucoma is prescribed a miotic cholinergic medication. Which data indicate the medication has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Miotic cholinergics (e.g., pilocarpine) reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma by increasing aqueous outflow. Redness, pupil reaction, and floaters are not primary indicators.
Question 2 of 5
A client who is recovering from a spinal cord injury complains of blurred vision and a severe headache. His blood pressure is 210/140. The most appropriate initial action for the nurse to take is to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Symptoms suggest autonomic dysreflexia, often triggered by bladder distention, requiring immediate assessment and intervention.
Question 3 of 5
The 65-year-old client is diagnosed with macular degeneration. Which statement by the client indicates the client needs more discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Low-watt bulbs reduce visibility, counterproductive in macular degeneration. Magnification, Amsler grid monitoring (daily preferred), and low-vision centers are appropriate.
Question 4 of 5
Which teaching instruction should the nurse discuss with students who are on the high school swim team when discussing how to prevent external otitis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A drying agent (e.g., alcohol-based drops) prevents external otitis by removing moisture. Swim caps and ear plugs are protective, and bulb syringes risk trauma.
Question 5 of 5
The physician has ordered mannitol IV for a client with a head injury. What should the nurse closely monitor because the client is receiving mannitol?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Mannitol is a diuretic, so monitoring urine output is critical to assess its effectiveness and prevent dehydration.
