Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is to start therapy with furosemide. The nurse determines that the teaching is effective when the client states he will increase intake of which of the following foods?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Baked potatoes are potassium-rich, countering furosemide's potassium loss. Oatmeal, rice, and eggs lack significant potassium.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving heparin therapy. If the client requires a reversal of the effects of heparin, which of the following medications should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Protamine neutralizes heparin's anticoagulant effects. Atropine treats bradycardia, vitamin K reverses warfarin, and vitamin B12 addresses anemia none affect heparin.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has recurrent otitis media. The child weighs 14.9 kg (33 lb). A prescription is written for amoxicillin 40 mg/kg PO to be given in two divided doses per day. The pharmacy provides the nurse with amoxicillin 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL of the medication should the nurse plan to administer for each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 6
Rationale: 14.9 kg × 40 mg/kg = 596 mg/day; 596 mg ÷ 2 = 298 mg/dose; 298 mg ÷ (250 mg/5 mL) = 5.96 mL ≈ 6 mL per dose.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is collecting data from a client who continues to have a migraine headache after taking sumatriptan orally 2 hr ago. Which of the following findings is the priority for the nurse to report?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hypertension is priority as sumatriptan's vasoconstriction can dangerously elevate blood pressure, risking stroke or infarction. Tingling, dizziness, and flushing are common but less urgent.
