Total Questions: 44 Showing 44 questions Question 1: A nurse is giving discharge instructions to a patient who has been ordered Guaifenesin (Mucinex) to take BID for 3 days after discharge. What response by the patient lets her know that he understands how to take his medication? A. “Taking this medication can cause me to develop a non-productive cough." B. "I will take my medication daily with a full glass of water." C. "I will take my medication twice a day with a full glass of water! D. “The medication will have to be given by my Home Health Nurse twice a day” Explanation This response demonstrates that the patient understands the dosing frequency (twice a day) and the importance of taking it with a full glass of water, which aligns with the instructions provided by the nurse. The other choices are incorrect because: A. "Taking this medication can cause me to develop a non-productive cough.": This response is about a potential side effect of the medication, rather than showing an understanding of the dosing instructions. B. "I will take my medication Daily with a full glass of water.": This response indicates a misunderstanding of the dosing frequency, as the prescription specifically states "BID" (twice a day) rather than "daily." D. "The medication will have to be given by my Home Health Nurse twice a day.": This response suggests a reliance on the home health nurse to administer the medication, which contradicts the instructions for the patient to take it themselves. It shows a misunderstanding of the patient's responsibility in self-administering the medication. ________________________________________ Question 2: Which type of medication is the first-line treatment for nasal congestion?
