Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should assess for allergic reactions such as rash, itching, edema, and urticaria when administering mafenide. Topical sulfonamides like mafenide do not cause crystalluria, inflammation of the mouth, or loss of appetite.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Clients may develop gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea if they have consumed extremely large doses of cranberry juice. The recommended dose is 6 ounces of juice twice daily. Cranberry juice on an empty stomach or immediately after dosage will not lead to diarrhea if taken in the recommended amount. Minimized food and fluid intake or lack of exercise does not increase the chances of diarrhea. Crystalluria does not cause diarrhea.
