A nurse is caring for a client who is diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and is
prescribed dexamethasone (Prednisone). Which of the following indicates
the client is experiencing an adverse effect of the medication?
✓ ~:- Hyperglycemia.In this item, you need nursing knowledge of
dexamethasone to recall adverse effects associated with the
medication. This item requires foundational thinking because you only
need to recall knowledge related to adverse effects of
dexamethasone. Dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid, is a powerful anti-
inflammatory and immunosuppressant and is indicated for the
treatment of multiple disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis. Adverse
effects of dexamethasone increase with the dosage and duration of
treatment and can include adrenal insufficiency, osteoporosis,
infection, myopathy, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, cataracts,
peptic ulcer disease, and iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome among
others. Hyperglycemia, an elevated blood glucose level, is an adverse
effect of dexamethasone. Both hyperglycemia and glycosuria can be
manifested in clients who are taking dexamethasone because of its
effect on the production and use of glucose.

While collecting data on a client who is immobile, a nurse locates a
reddened area of skin on the left scapula. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take?
✓ ~:- In this item, you need knowledge of appropriate skin care
interventions for clients who are immobile with indications of a stage I
pressure ulcer. This item requires foundational thinking because you
have to recall interventions that are appropriate for maintaining skin
integrity in clients who are immobile. Damage to tissues caused by
continuous pressure is described as a pressure ulcer. The risk for pressure
ulcers can be complicated by factors such as immobility, inadequate
nutrition, bowel and bladder incontinence, decreased mental status,
reduced sensation, increasing age, and excessive body heat.
Appropriate care of pressure ulcers is based on the characteristics and
stage of the wound. A wound that manifests as a reddened area is a
stage 1 pressure ulcer. A transparent wound barrier applied to
reddened skin or a stage 1 pressure ulcer to prevent contamination
and reduce friction to the area is an appropriate action by the nurse.

✓ ~:- In this item, you need knowledge of abbreviations that the Joint
Commission has determined should not be used in documentation. This
is a negatively-worded item that asks you to select the option that
indicates the newly licensed nurse needs additional teaching. You will
learn more about negatively-worded items in Module 4. This item
requires foundational thinking because you only need to recall
knowledge related to the abbreviations that are not acceptable for
use when charting. To reduce the occurrence of medical errors, the
Joint Commission developed a list of do-not-use abbreviations that
should be avoided in health care settings. The abbreviation "q.d." was
previously used to indicate every day, which can be mistaken as the
abbreviation for "four times daily (qid)," resulting in medical errors. The
Joint Commission has recommended the use of "daily" to indicate
every day. This is not an acceptable abbreviation; therefore, additional
teaching is needed.
A nurse is caring for a client who is prescribed IV fluids. While inserting the IV
catheter, blood is spilled on the floor. Which of the following solutions should
the nurse use to clean the spill?
✓ ~:- Bleach
