A nurse is caring for a client who is taking lithium and reports persistent nausea and
vomiting for 2 days. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to
the provider?
a) Potassium 4.0 mEq/L
b) Lithium 0.9 mEq/L
c) BUN 12 mg/dL
d) Sodium 132 mEq/L - ANSWERS-D. Sodium 132 mEq/L
Rationale:
The nurse should identify that a sodium level of 132 mEq/L is not within the expected
reference range of 136 to 145 mEq/L. This finding indicates hyponatremia, which can
lead to lithium accumulation and places the client at risk for lithium toxicity. The nurse
should report this finding to the provider.
A nurse is caring for a client who has cancer and has a WBC count of 4,000/mm3.
Which of the following
actions should the nurse take?
,a) Cleanse the client's toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide.
b) Instruct the client to use a disposable razor to shave.
c) Decrease the client's protein intake.
d) Encourage the client to eat unpasteurized dairy products. - ANSWERS-A. Cleanse
the client's toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide.
Rationale:
A WBC count of 4,000/mm3 is considered low and is known as leukopenia. A low WBC
count can be caused by cancer or cancer treatment. The nurse should instruct the client
to cleanse their toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide. People with leukemia or leukopenia
should avoid using disposable razors, which can cause cuts and bleeding that can lead
to infections. Instead, they recommend using an electric razor to reduce the risk of
injury. Encouraging the client to eat unpasteurized dairy products is not recommended
as they can contain harmful bacteria that can cause infections. Decreasing the client's
protein intake is not recommended as protein is important for wound healing and
immune function

TEST
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who reports difficulty eating due to
chronic arthritis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the
plan?
a) Apply foam handles to the client's eating utensils.
b) Obtain a referral for physical therapy.
c) Have an assistive personnel feed the client.
,d) Ask the provider for a prescription for a pureed diet. - ANSWERS-A. Apply foam
handles to the client's eating utensils.
Rationale:
To help a client with chronic arthritis who experiences difficulty eating, applying foam
handles to the eating utensils can provide a larger, more comfortable grip and reduce
strain on the joints. Asking for a puree diet may not be necessary unless swallowing
difficulties are present. Having an assistive personnel feed the client may not promote
independence. While obtaining a referral for physical therapy may be beneficial for
overall mobility, it does not directly address the client's difficulty with eating.
A nurse is providing directions to an assistive personnel about moving a client up in
bed.
a. "Place a pillow under the client's head prior to repositioning."
b. "Keep your feet close together while moving the client"
c "Face in the direction of the client's movement"
d. "Move the client's arms to his sides prior to repositioning." - ANSWERS-C. "Face in
the direction of the client's movement."
Rational:
When moving a client up in bed, it is important for the nurse to face in the direction of
the client's movement to maintain proper body mechanics and ensure safe transfer.
1)Adjust the head of the bed to a flat position.
2)Remove all pillows from under the client.
3)Position the UAP on the side opposite the nurse.
4)Place a friction-reducing sheet under the client.
5)Ask the client to bend the legs and place the chin on the chest.
6)Grasp the sheet and move the client on the count of three.
A nurse is obtaining a medication history from a client who is to start taking nitroglycerin
for chest discomfort with activity. Which of the following medications should the nurse
instruct the client to avoid taking within 24 hrs of using nitroglycerin?
a) Atorvastatin
b) Metformin
c) Sildenafil
d) Omeprazole - ANSWERS-C. Sildenafil
Rationale:
Sildenafil treats PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension) by relaxing the blood vessels in
the lungs to allow blood to flow easily.
, Same as, nitroglycerin is a vaso-dilator which is primarily to treat anginal chest pain and
thereby it reduces blood pressure.
Remaining drugs like omeprazole and atorvastatin can be given for patients with in
24hrs of nitroglycerin administration.
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for nitroglycerin. The nurse
should monitor for which of the following adverse effects of the medication?
Nocturia
Increased saliva production
Flushing
Fever - ANSWERS-Flushing
Rationale:
nitroglycerin is a vaso-dilator. When vaso-dilators too well, fluid start sipping out and
causing flushing
A nurse is preparing to obtain a postprandial blood glucose level from a client who has
diabetes mellitus. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
a) Apply the first drop of blood to the test strip.
b) Clean the client's finger with hexachlorophene.
c) Prick the central tip of the client's finger.
d) Hold the client's finger in a dependent position. - ANSWERS-D. Hold the client's
finger in a dependent
position.
Rationale:
The nurse should clean the client's finger with an alcohol swab and prick the side of the
finger, not the central tip, to obtain a postprandial blood glucose level.
The nurse should not apply the first drop of blood to the test strip since the alcohol could
cause false reading.
Hexachlorophene is not recommended for cleaning the client's finger as it can cause
tissue damage.
TEST
