A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for a 250 mL IV fluid bolus. The nurse administers a 500 mL IV bolus.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Assessing the client for adverse reactions is the priority because administering an excessive IV fluid bolus (500 mL instead of 250 mL) can lead to immediate complications such as fluid overload, pulmonary edema, or electrolyte imbalances. The nurse must first ensure the client's safety by checking for signs of these adverse effects (e.g., respiratory distress, edema, or changes in mental status). Obtaining vital signs, notifying the provider, and documenting are important but secondary to immediate client assessment. Increasing the IV flow rate is incorrect as it would exacerbate the fluid overload risk.

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a newly prescribed hearing aid. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Gradually increasing wearing time allows the client to adjust to the hearing aid’s sound levels, preventing discomfort. Turning the volume to maximum can cause distortion, hearing aids last several years, and removing the battery during non-use preserves its life. Cleaning with alcohol can damage the hearing aid.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an injection to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take after administering the injection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Discarding the needle in a puncture-proof container prevents needlestick injuries and ensures safe disposal. Removing the needle is unnecessary, recapping risks injury, placing it on the table is unsafe, and cleaning the site post-injection is unnecessary.
