The nurse includes which information in the teaching about
this medication?
A) "Glucovance is more effective than glyburide and
metformin."
B) "Your diabetes is improving and you now need only one
drug."
C) "Glucovance contains a combination of glyburide and
metformin."
D) "Glucovance is a new oral insulin and replaces all other oral
antidiabetic agents." - ANSWER-C

to enhance the
convenience of antidiabetic therapy with glyburide and
metformin. The other
,statements are not
accurate.

NPH insulin at 7
AM. At what time does the nurse assess the client for
problems related to the
NPH
insulin?
A) 4 PM
B) 11 PM
C) 8 AM
D) 8 PM - ANSWER-A
NPH is an intermediate-acting insulin with an onset of 1.5
hours, peak of 4 to 12 hours, and duration of action of 22 hours.
Checking the client at 8:00 AM would be too soon; 8:00 PM and
11:00 PM would be too late.
The nurse is caring for a client who is immobile from a recent
stroke. Which intervention does the nurse implement to prevent
complications in this client?
A) Teach the client to touch and use both sides
of the body.
B) Apply sequential compression
stockings.
,C) Instruct the client to turn the head from
side to side.
D) Position the client with the unaffected side down.
- ANSWER-B
To avoid complications of immobility, such as deep vein
thrombosis, the nurse
applies sequential compression stockings or pneumatic
compression boots.

and the clien
should be repositioned frequently. The other interventions
will not prevent
complications of
immobility.

, Cranial nerve IX, the glossopharyngeal nerve, controls the gag
reflex. Clients with impairment of this nerve are at great risk for
aspiration. The client should be in high Fowler's position and
should drink thickened liquids if swallowing difficulties are
present. The client would not have vision problems. Turning
the plate around would not prevent a complication, nor would
limiting the client's diet to clear liquids.

A) "I will use a soft-bristled toothbrush to
prevent trauma."
B) "I will rinse my mouth with water after
every meal."
C) "I should use an alcohol-based mouth rinse to
kill bacteria."
D) "I cannot use floss because it may irritate my gums."
- ANSWER-C
Mouthwashes that contain alcohol are drying and can
exacerbate mucosal irritation, leading to painful mouth sores.
Rinsing the mouth with water or normal saline is indicated.
Interventions aimed at decreasing risk for trauma or irritation
are matters of priority because of inflammation associated with
mucositis.
