Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
When caring for clients taking milrinone, the development of hypotension indicates an adverse reaction. Edema and cyanosis need to be assessed by the nurse as part of the preadministration assessment. Edema, bradycardia, and cyanosis are not adverse reactions associated with milrinone.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, E
Feedback:
If the nausea or anorexia is not a result of toxicity but an adverse reaction to the drug, use nursing measures to help control the reactions. Offer frequent small meals rather than three large meals. Restricting fluids at meals and avoiding fluids 1 hour before and after meals help to control nausea. Helping the patient to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth or rinsing the mouth after ingesting food will also help with nausea.
