The nurse is caring for a client following the insertion of a Nexplanon rod. Which priority instruction should the nurse provide this client?
Back up methods are required for the first 24-hours following insertion.
Smoking cessation is required to prevent thrombolytic events from occurring.
This implant is associated with weight loss so make sure you consume enough calories.
Prevention rate with Nexplanon is 100%.
The Correct Answer is A
A. Following the insertion of the Nexplanon rod, it is important to inform the client that backup contraception methods are needed for the first 24 hours to ensure pregnancy prevention while the implant becomes effective.
B. While smoking cessation is advised due to the increased risk of thrombotic events with hormonal contraceptives, it is not the priority instruction immediately following the insertion of Nexplanon.
C. The statement regarding weight loss is incorrect; Nexplanon is more commonly associated with weight gain rather than loss, so advising clients on calorie consumption is misleading.
D. Although Nexplanon has a high efficacy rate in preventing pregnancy, stating a prevention rate of 100% is inaccurate and misleading, as no contraceptive method is completely foolproof.

A. Monitoring heart rate for bradycardia is not a primary concern with cyclobenzaprine; instead, it can cause drowsiness and sedation.
B. Naloxone is not necessary for cyclobenzaprine overdose, as it is not an opioid.
C. Cyclobenzaprine can cause sedation and impair cognitive function, so the nurse should emphasize that clients should not operate heavy machinery or motor vehicles until they know how the medication affects them.
D. Excessive salivation is not a common side effect of cyclobenzaprine; instead, dry mouth is more frequently reported.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Discontinuing metformin 24 hours before a CT scan is longer than necessary and not standard practice.
B. It is generally recommended that metformin be held for at least 12 hours before the administration of IV contrast to reduce the risk of lactic acidosis, especially in clients with renal impairment.
C. Six hours is insufficient time to ensure the medication is cleared from the system, considering the potential risks.
D. Discontinuing metformin for 48 hours is overly cautious and not necessary unless there are complications that arise after the contrast is administered.
