would only exacerbate the effects of cocaine.

• Question 3
An elderly client with cognitive impairment is combative and pulled out a
nasogastric tube, intravenous line, and indwelling urinary catheter. What
can the nurse anticipate that the health care provider will most likely
prescribe?
Selected
Answer: A small dose of a selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitor
Answers: A small dose of a selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitor
A large dose of a benzodiazepine
A maintenance dose of buspirone
A small dose of an atypical antipsychotic
Response
Feedback Aggressive behavior can be safely managed by antipsychotic
: medication. Initial dosing should be small and raised cautiously
until behavior is controlled. Selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors are not indicated for aggressive behavior. If a
benzodiazepine is used, the initial dose should be low.
Buspirone is not effective if given on an as-needed basis. It is
administered in small divided doses daily to control agitation.
• Question 4
A nursing care plan contains the intervention “monitor for complications of
refeeding syndrome.” Which body system should a nurse most closely
monitor for clinical manifestations of dysfunction?
Selected
Answer: Central
nervous
Answers: Renal
Central
nervous
Endocrine
Cardiovascu
lar
Response
Feedback: Refeeding resulting in too-rapid weight gain can overwhelm the
heart, resulting in cardiovascular collapse; thus focused
assessment becomes a necessity to ensure patient
physiological integrity. The other body systems are not initially
involved in the refeeding syndrome.
