Question 1 of 5
A client with a history of atrial fibrillation is receiving warfarin (Coumadin) therapy. Which laboratory result indicates that the therapy is effective?

Rationale: An INR of 2.5 indicates that warfarin therapy is within the therapeutic range for a client with atrial fibrillation.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is providing care for a client with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Which assessment finding requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A serum sodium level of 130 mEq/L indicates hyponatremia, which requires immediate intervention in a client with SIADH.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client with a new colostomy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Changing the colostomy bag every week is not sufficient; it should be changed more frequently to prevent leakage and skin irritation.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with Addison's disease. Which finding requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Low blood pressure in a client with Addison's disease requires immediate intervention as it can indicate an Addisonian crisis, a life-threatening condition that necessitates prompt treatment. Hyperpigmentation of the skin is a characteristic finding in Addison's disease but does not require immediate intervention. Nausea and vomiting can be managed symptomatically in Addison's disease. While hypoglycemia needs attention, it is not the most critical finding requiring immediate intervention in this context.
Question 5 of 5
