1-Enalapril maleate (Vasotec) is prescribed for a hospitalized client. Which
assessment does the nurse perform as a priority before administering the
medication?
A. Checking the client's blood pressure
B. Checking the client's peripheral pulses
C. Checking the most recent potassium level
D. Checking the client's intake-and-output record for the last 24 hours -
answer-A. Checking the client's blood pressure
Checking the client's blood pressure
Enalapril maleate is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to
treat hypertension. One common side effect is postural hypotension.
Therefore the nurse would check the client's blood pressure immediately
before administering each dose. Checking the client's peripheral pulses, the
results of the most recent potassium level, and the intake and output for the
previous 24 hours are not specifically associated with this mediation.
,2-A client is scheduled to undergo an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, and the
nurse provides instructions to the client about the test. Which statement by
the client indicates a need for further instruction?
A. "The test will take about 30 minutes."
B. "I need to fast for 8 hours before the test."
C. "I need to drink citrate of magnesia the night before the test and give myself
a Fleet enema on the morning of the test."
D. "I need to take a laxative after the test is completed, because the liquid that
I'll have to drink for the test can be constipating." - answer-C. "I need to drink
citrate of magnesia the night before the test and give myself a Fleet enema on
the morning of the test."
An upper GI series involves visualization of the esophagus, duodenum, and
upper jejunum by means of the use of a contrast medium. It involves
swallowing a contrast medium (usually barium), which is administered in a
flavored milkshake. Films are taken at intervals during the test, which takes
about 30 minutes. No special preparation is necessary before a GI series,
except that NPO status must be maintained for 8 hours before the test. After
an upper GI series, the client is prescribed a laxative to hasten elimination of
the barium. Barium that remains in the colon may become hard and difficult to
expel, leading to fecal impaction.
