Question 1:
A nurse is caring for a client who has been prescribed digoxin for heart failure. Which of the
following findings indicates the client is experiencing digoxin toxicity?
A. Hypotension
B. Bradycardia
C. Tachycardia
D. Hypertension
Answer:
B. Bradycardia
Explanation:
Digoxin toxicity typically presents with symptoms such as bradycardia, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue, and visual disturbances (such as seeing halos around lights). It is important to monitor
the client's pulse and digoxin levels regularly to prevent toxicity.
, Question 2:
A client is receiving furosemide for fluid retention. Which electrolyte imbalance is the client at
risk for developing?
A. Hyperkalemia
B. Hypokalemia
C. Hypernatremia
D. Hyponatremia
Answer:
B. Hypokalemia
Explanation:
Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause the loss of potassium through increased urine
output, leading to hypokalemia. Monitoring electrolyte levels is essential to prevent
complications such as arrhythmias.
Question 3:
A nurse is caring for a postoperative client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take
to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
A. Place a pillow under the client's knees.
B. Encourage the client to perform leg exercises every hour while awake.
C. Apply warm compresses to the legs.
D. Massage the client’s legs to improve circulation.
Answer:
B. Encourage the client to perform leg exercises every hour while awake.
Explanation:
Leg exercises promote venous return and decrease the risk of blood clot formation. Placing a
pillow under the knees can restrict circulation, and massaging the legs is contraindicated as it
can dislodge a clot if one is present.
Question 4:
A nurse is assessing a client who is 24 hours postoperative following abdominal surgery. Which
of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
A. Temperature of 37.2°C (99.0°F)
B. Urine output of 20 mL/hr
