NCLEX Exam Questions and Answers

100% Solved


A client rates the pain level of a migraine an 8 on a scale of 1-10. How

would the nurse administer the medication to give the client the quickest

relief? - ✔✔intravenous (IV)



The nurse would want the client to receive the benefit of the medication as

quickly a possible to help alleviate the migraine. A drug placed directly into

intravenous system enters the client's bloodstream more quickly than oral,

IM, or buccal, thereby avoiding the barriers of food and the destructive

effects of stomach acid. With oral, IM, and buccal administration, the

client's response to the drug is slower.

The maximum transfusion time for a unit of packed red blood cells (RBCs)

is - ✔✔4 hours.

A unit of packed RBCs may be transfused over a period of 1 to 4 hours. It

shouldn't infuse for longer than 4 hours because the risk of contamination

and sepsis increases after that time. The nurse should discard any blood

not given within this time, or return it to the blood bank, in accordance with

facility policy.

A client has been taking furosemide for 2 days. The nurse should review

the laboratory record for changes in which blood level? - ✔✔a decreased

potassium



Furosemide is a loop diuretic and inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and

chloride from the proximal and distal renal tubules and the loop of Henle.

Furosemide promotes sodium diuresis, resulting in a loss of potassium and

serious electrolyte imbalances. Furosemide does not affect the BUN level.

A client has sustained a head injury and is to receive mannitol by I.V. push.

In evaluating the effectiveness of the drug, the nurse should expect to find:

- ✔✔decreased cerebral edema.



Mannitol, an osmotic diuretic, is used to decrease cerebral edema in clients

with head injuries. The other choices are not correct results of mannitol.
