Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The intervention appropriate for a client who has been manipulating others and has a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This approach involves establishing clear and consistent rules and boundaries, which are crucial for managing antisocial behaviors. It helps to create a structured environment where the consequences of actions are predictable and reinforces the understanding of acceptable behaviors.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who just received naloxone. Which nursing intervention is highest priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Naloxone administration can rapidly reverse the effects of opioids, potentially leading to the rapid onset of opioid withdrawal symptoms, which may include respiratory depression.
Therefore, close monitoring of the client's airway, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate is critical to ensure their safety and stability.
Question 3 of 5
A psychiatrist prescribes a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) for a client. When teaching the client about the effects of tyramine, which foods will the nurse caution the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pepperoni pizza and red wine are both high in tyramine and should be avoided when taking MAOIs. The aging and fermentation processes involved in the production of pepperoni and red wine increase the tyramine content, which can lead to a dangerous increase in blood pressure when combined with MAOIs.
Question 4 of 5
When assessing a 2-year-old child with suspected autism spectrum disorder, the nurse should be particularly alert for:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Children with ASD may show reduced interest in social interactions, have difficulty understanding social cues, and may not engage in typical play with peers or caregivers. They might also exhibit challenges with nonverbal communication, such as making eye contact or using gestures.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse assesses that medication teaching about tricyclic antidepressants was understood when the client states:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are known to take some time before their full therapeutic effects are realized, which can indeed be up to four weeks. This delay is due to the gradual changes they induce in the brain's biochemistry.
