Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing care for a client diagnosed with post-thrombotic syndrome who has a venous stasis ulcer. Which instructions should be given prior to discharge? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: Proteins, vitamin C, and zinc are essential for wound healing. Care should be taken when walking to avoid bumping the limb, as trauma could worsen the condition. Compression stockings reduce swelling and improve blood flow, promoting ulcer healing.

A client with diabetes has returned from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after a below-the-knee amputation (BKA) of the left leg. Which physician's order should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After a below-the-knee amputation, pain management is crucial. Administering morphine 2-4 mg IV prn for pain is an appropriate physician's order to implement.
Question 3 of 5
A patient is receiving gentamicin every 12 hours IVPB for an infection. The nurse has administered the 0900 dose, which is prescribed to run over 1 hour. The physician prescribed peak and trough levels to be drawn. When should the nurse expect to draw the peak level?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The peak level of gentamicin is typically evaluated 30 minutes after the completion of the infusion. Since the infusion is administered over 1 hour, the peak level would be expected to be drawn at 1000.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is explaining to a patient why oral antihyperglycemic agents are not effective in Type 1 diabetes. What is the reason?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: People with Type 1 diabetes have little or no insulin that can be released due to the destruction of pancreatic β-cells, making oral antihyperglycemic agents ineffective.
Question 5 of 5
A client diagnosed with Raynaud's disease is experiencing severe pain and spasms in the fingers and toes of their hands. What advice should the nurse include in the discharge instructions for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Raynaud's disease is a condition that affects blood flow to the extremities, including the fingers and toes, in response to cold temperatures or stress. Wearing heavy-duty gloves during cold exposures can help to keep the hands warm and reduce the risk of a Raynaud's attack.
