Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with hypertension, gastroesophageal reflux, and osteoarthritis. While performing a bedside assessment, the nurse observes the client is alert and oriented but is exhibiting signs of jaundice. The nurse should notify the healthcare provider about which scheduled medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acetaminophen is a common cause of hepatotoxicity, leading to jaundice. Omeprazole, captopril, and prednisone are less likely culprits.
Question 2 of 5
Based on a client’s serum digoxin level, the client is diagnosed with digoxin toxicity. Which action should the nurse expect to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Digoxin toxicity requires checking electrolytes (e.g., hyperkalemia) and acid-base status to guide treatment. Potassium, cardioversion, or alternate routes are inappropriate.
Question 3 of 5
Which laboratory value should the nurse review prior to administering the initial dose of a statin medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Statins risk hepatotoxicity, so baseline liver enzymes are critical. CBC, electrolytes, and glucose are less relevant.
