Question 1 of 5
The nurse is administering a calcium channel blocker to the client diagnosed with a myocardial infarction. Which assessment data would cause the nurse to question administering this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hypotension (BP 90/58,
D) contraindicates calcium channel blockers, which lower BP further. Pulse 64 (
A), elevated calcium (
B), and PVCs (
C) are not contraindications.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is administering morning medications to clients on a telemetry unit. Which medication would the nurse question?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Enalapril (
C) is contraindicated with hypotension (BP 86/64), risking further BP drop. Furosemide with K+ 3.6 (
A), digoxin for AF (
B), and morphine for chest pain (
D) are appropriate.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is told in report the client has aortic stenosis. Which anatomical position should the nurse auscultate to assess the murmur?

B), left sternal notch (
C), and fourth space (
D) are for other murmurs.

A), elevated calcium (
B), and PVCs (
C) are not contraindications.
