### 1. The nurse provides discharge instructions to a client who has
been prescribed gabapentin 300 mg by mouth three times a day for
postherpetic neuralgia. Which symptoms should the nurse tell the client
to report to the healthcare provider?
Answer Choices:
A. Sexual dysfunction
B. Gastric irritation
C. Rapid weight gain
D. Photosensitivity
Correct Answer: B. Gastric irritation
Expert Rationale:
, Gastric irritation, though less common than neurologic side effects, can signal
intolerance or predispose to GI bleeding, especially in older adults or those on
other GI-risk medications. The nurse should instruct the client to report
persistent GI symptoms promptly.
### 2. A client with chronic lower back pain has been taking NSAID
ibuprofen orally twice a day for several months. Which assessment is
most important for the nurse to complete?
Answer Choices:
A. Assess back pain using numeric scale
B. Palpate volume of pedal pulses
C. Determine presence of abdominal pain
D. Evaluate ongoing sleep patterns
Correct Answer: C. Determine presence of abdominal pain
Expert Rationale:
Given chronic NSAID use, the most critical and potentially life-threatening side
effect is GI ulcer/bleed, often presenting as abdominal pain. Early detection
may prevent major complications such as perforation and hemorrhage.
### 3. NGN - Complex Case
Patient Data:
History: 36-year-old female, moderate persistent asthma. Rx:
fluticasone/salmeterol 250/50 mcg & albuterol 2 puffs q4-6h PRN.
