radio and states, "voices are coming from the TV and everything we say in this room is being
recorded." What response should the nurse make? - "That must be very frightening."
5. The nurse should respond to the client's delusion in a calm and empathetic manner. By
acknowledging to the client that the delusion must be frightening, the nurse promotes the
nurse-client relationship.
6. A nurse is caring for a client who has Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome due to alcohol use disorder.
What finding should the nurse expect? - Confusion.
7. The nurse should expect the client who has Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome to exhibit
neurological and cognitive manifestations due to thiamine deficiency. Confusion, stupor,
diplopia, and memory loss are expected findings of this disorder.
, 8. A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has generalized anxiety disorder and a new
prescription for buspirone. The nurse should inform the client that which manifestations is a
common adverse effect of this medication? - Dizziness.
9. The nurse should inform the client that dizziness is a common adverse effect of buspirone. The
nurse should instruct the client to avoid driving and operating heavy machinery until the
presence of adverse effects is determined.
10. A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has a new prescription for a
benzodiazepine. What finding should the nurse question the provider's prescription? -
Hypotension.
11. The nurse should question the provider's prescription for a benzodiazepine for a client who has
hypotension. Benzodiazepines can cause severe hypotension and increase the client's risk for
cardiac arrest.
12. A nurse is assessing a client who takes phenelzine for the treatment of depression. What finding
is the priority for the nurse to report to the provider? - Elevated blood pressure.
13. The nurse should identify that the greatest risk to the client is an elevated blood pressure, which
increases the risk for a hypertensive crisis that can result from taking an MAOI, such as
phenelzine. The nurse should apply the safety and risk reduction priority-setting framework
when assessing this client. This framework assigns priority to the factor or situation posing the
greatest safety risk to the client. When there are several risks to client safety, the one posing the
greatest threat is the highest priority. The nurse should use Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the
ABC priority-setting frame-work, or nursing knowledge to identify which risk poses the greatest
risk.
14. A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for disulfiram for the
management of alcohol dependence. What dietary choices should the nurse instruct the client
to avoid? - Pure vanilla extract.
15. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid alcohol and alcohol-containing substances such as
pure vanilla extract. The ingestion of alcohol while taking this medication causes a disulfiram-
alcohol reaction, which is manifested by hyperventilation, dizziness, vomiting, and hypotension.
