NCLEX PN Prep Questions Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A 57 year-old male client has a hemoglobin of 10 mg/dl and a hematocrit of 32%. What would be the most appropriate follow-up by the home care nurse?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Ask the client if he has noticed any bleeding or dark stools. These values indicate mild anemia, and the first step is to assess for potential sources of blood loss.

Question 2 of 5

The practical nurse and the charge nurse work together to assign a semi-private room to a client with diabetes mellitus admitted for IV antibiotic therapy to treat argumentative cellulitis. Which of the 4 room assignments is the best option for this client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The postoperative client in Room 1 is stable and awaiting discharge, posing the least risk of complications or infection to the client with cellulitis. Other roommates have conditions (dementia, embolism, immunosuppression) that could complicate care or increase infection risk.

Question 3 of 5

An older adult is diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma. Which comment by the client indicates understanding of the management of the condition?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Daily eye drops control intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma, a chronic condition, indicating understanding, unlike expecting a cure, contagiousness, or immediate surgery.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for insulin lispro 1 unit subcutaneously per 15 g of carbohydrates with each meal. The client's meal contains 75 g of carbohydrates. How many units of insulin lispro should the nurse administer to the client? Record your answer using a whole number.

Correct Answer: 5

Rationale: 75 g carbohydrates ÷ 15 g/unit = 5 units of insulin lispro.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who had a total thyroidectomy. What should the nurse plan to observe the client for immediately after his return to the nursing care unit?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Total thyroidectomy risks parathyroid gland damage, leading to hypocalcemia (not hypercalcemia). However, the question likely intends hypocalcemia signs (tetany, spasms), which are critical to monitor immediately post-surgery. Hoarseness, reflexes, or confusion are less urgent.
