During the admission interview a client shares with the nurse that she is allergic to latex. The nurse's immediate response is to:
 
  1. Place an allergic to latex sticker on the client's Kardex
  2. Verbally notify the staff of the client's allergy to latex
  3. Notify the client's health care provider of the client's allergy to latex
  4. Place an identification bracelet on the client that identifies the latex allergy

Question 2

A 20-year-old diagnosed with Crohn's disease is experiencing severe pain and is requesting the prescribed morphine as often as it can be administered. The nurse is particularly concerned about opioid toxicity because of:
 
  1. The client's frequent requests for the narcotic
  2. The client's compromised bowel absorption
  3. The drug's seeming inability to control the client's pain
  4. The drug's ability to produce marked respiratory depression

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The client needs to wear an identification bracelet that alerts nurses and physicians to the allergy. While the other options are not incorrect, the application of the identification bracelet has priori-ty.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Toxic effects develop after prolonged intake of a medication or when a medication accumulates in the blood because of impaired metabolism or excretion. For example, toxic levels of morphine, an opioid, cause severe respiratory depression and death. This client's gastrointestinal problem puts her at particular risk. The remaining options, while not incorrect, are not the primary cause for concern related to toxicity.
