Question 1 of 5

A client has a new prescription for a Nitroglycerin transdermal patch. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct instruction for a client using a Nitroglycerin transdermal patch is to remove the patch each day, usually at bedtime, to prevent tolerance. The client should then apply a new patch the next morning. This practice helps maintain the effectiveness of the medication and prevents the body from becoming accustomed to the continuous presence of nitroglycerin.

Question 2 of 5

A healthcare provider is educating a group of new parents about immunizations. The provider should instruct the parents that the series for which of the following vaccines is completed prior to the first birthday?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Rotavirus vaccine. The series for the Rotavirus vaccine is completed prior to the first birthday as it is only administered to infants less than 8 months of age. This vaccine provides protection against severe diarrhea and vomiting caused by rotavirus infection, which is common in infants and young children.

Question 3 of 5

An adolescent client has a new prescription for Clomipramine for OC. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include to minimize an adverse effect of this medication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To minimize the adverse effect of photophobia associated with Clomipramine, the client should be advised to wear sunglasses when outdoors. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) known to cause anticholinergic effects like photophobia, which can be reduced by protecting the eyes with sunglasses when exposed to bright light.

Question 4 of 5

A client has a new prescription for Beclomethasone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct instruction for a client prescribed Beclomethasone is to rinse the mouth after each use to reduce the risk of oral fungal infection. Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid inhaler that can increase the risk of oral thrush, so rinsing the mouth helps minimize this side effect.

Question 5 of 5

A healthcare professional is providing discharge instructions to a client who has a new prescription for Enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the healthcare professional include?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Enoxaparin is a medication that should be administered as a subcutaneous injection in the abdomen to prevent bleeding complications. Massaging the injection site after administration should be avoided to reduce the risk of local irritation or bleeding. Rotating injection sites between the arms and thighs is a good practice for some medications but not recommended for Enoxaparin, which should be consistently given in the abdomen for optimal absorption and to avoid complications.
