With 100% Complete Solution Graded A+

A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the
following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client
understands the instructions? - CORRECT ANSWER-I'll avoid contact sports like
football.



The most common adverse effect of taking anticoagulants is bleeding. Therefore, the
client should avoid any activities that have a high risk of causing injury, such as contact
sports.



A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has a prescription for zolpidem at bedtime
to promote sleep. The nurse should plan to monitor the client for which of the following
adverse effects? - CORRECT ANSWER-Dizziness



Zolpidem can cause dizziness and daytime drowsiness. It can cause confusion in the
older adult client.



A nurse is reviewing the medical record for a client who has a migraine and a
prescription for sumatriptan. Which of the following factors in the client's medical history
should the nurse identify as a contraindication to receiving sumatriptan? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Ischemic heart disease



The nurse should identify that ischemic heart disease is a contraindication to receiving
sumatriptan. Sumatriptan is a serotonin receptor agonist that can cause
vasoconstriction and coronary vasospasm. This medication is also contraindicated in
clients who have MI or coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or other
types of heart disease.



A nurse is completing the admission history for a client who reports drinking 1 pint of
whiskey every day for 6 years. The client's las drink was 10 hours ago. Which of the
following medications should the nurse plan to administer upon admission? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Chlordiazepoxide

,The nurse should anticipate the client will experience manifestations of alcohol
withdrawal. Benzodiazepines are the most effective medications use to facilitate alcohol
withdrawal, and chlordiazepoxide is preferred because it has a longer half-life than other
benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines are safe and can stabilize vital signs, reduce the
intensity of symptoms, and decrease the risk of seizures and delirium tremens.



A nurse is preparing to administer 100 units of insulin glargine and 4 units of NPH
insulin subcutaneously to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan
to take? - CORRECT ANSWER-Use separate syringes for administering insulin glargine
and NPH insulin.



The nurse should not mix insulin glargine with any other insulin. The nurse should
administer the NPH insulin and insulin glargine separately.



A nurse is teaching a client who is experiencing age-related vaginal atrophy and has a
prescription for estradiol cream. Which of the following statements should the nurse
include in the teaching? - CORRECT ANSWER-This medication has fewer systemic
effects than oral estrogen.



The nurse should instruct the client that intravaginal estradiol cream has fewer systemic
side effects because it is applied topically.



A nurse is caring for a client who has osteoporosis and has been taking vitamin D
supplement. The nurse notes that the client reports also taking a multivitamin daily.
Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client might be
experiencing vitamin D toxicity? - CORRECT ANSWER-Hypercalcemia



The nurse should identify that vitamin D increases plasma calcium levels by increasing
reabsorption from bone, decreasing excretion by the kidneys and increasing absorption
from the intestines. Clients who take a vitamin D supplement along with a multivitamin
daily might be taking too much calcium.



A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is postoperative and has a new
prescription for oral opioid analgesic. Which of the following pieces of information
should the nurse include as a rationale for increasing the client's daily intake of fiber? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Dietary fiber helps prevent constipation.

, The nurse should inform the client that constipation is an adverse effect of opioids.
Increasing dietary fiber consumption can help manage opioid-induced constipation. The
nurse should instruct the client to increase physical activity and fluid intake. A stool
softener and laxative might also be needed to prevent the complications associated with
opioid-induced constipation.



A nurse is preparing a continuous IV infusion of erythromycin lactobionate for a client
who has a Bordetella pertussis infection. Which of the following actions should the
nurse take to minimize the risk of thrombophlebitis? - CORRECT ANSWER-Infuse the
medication slowly.



The nurse should infuse erythromycin slowly to minimize the risk of thrombophlebitis,
which is an inflammatory process resulting from the formation of a blood clot in a vein.
These blood clots usually form in the legs.



A nurse is teaching a client who has primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease)
and a prescription for hydrocortisone. Which of the following statements should the
nurse include in the teaching about this medication? - CORRECT ANSWER-Carry a
supply of pills and a single-use injectable preparation with you at all times.



The nurse should tell the client to carry an emergency supply of the medication to take
during times of unexpected stress. The client should carry an adequate supply at all
times, which should include an injectable preparation plus a supply equal to the regular
oral dosage. The single-use injectable preparation should be administered IM if the
client has an emergency and needs an extra dose of the glucocorticoid.



A nurse is monitoring a client who received diphenoxylate-atropine. Which of the
following statements by the client should indicate to the nurse that the medication has
been effective? - CORRECT ANSWER-I have not had a bowel movement today.



The nurse should identify that diphenoxylate-atropine is an opioid used to treat diarrhea.
The therapeutic response of this medication is a decrease in the frequency of watery
stools due to reduced motility of the intestinal lining.

erythromycin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the
teaching? - CORRECT ANSWER-Report persistent diarrhea to the provider.
