NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client asks the nurse about including her 2 and 12 year-old sons in the care of their newborn sister. Which of the following is an appropriate initial statement by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In an expanded family, it is important for parents to reassure older children that they are loved and as important as the newborn.
Question 2 of 5
While collecting data from pregnant clients in the obstetric clinic, the nurse should alert the health care provider to see which client first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreased fetal movement in the second trimester suggests potential fetal distress, requiring urgent evaluation. Nausea, UTI symptoms, and third-trimester pain are concerning but less immediately critical.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is talking with the parent of a 1-day-old newborn who had a circumcision using the plastic ring method. Which of the following statements by the parent would require follow-up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Yellow exudate is normal during circumcision healing, not a sign of infection, requiring further teaching. Contacting the provider for persistent bleeding, avoiding alcohol wipes, and leaving the device are correct.
Question 4 of 5
Which of these women in the labor and delivery unit would the nurse check first when the water breaks (ROM) for all of them within a 2 minute period?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A multigravida with station at -1, contractions at 15 minutes apart with duration of 30 seconds, cervix dilated at 3 cm, and 10% effacement. When the station is -1 or -2 and the water breaks, the risk is greater for a prolapsed cord.
Question 5 of 5
An adult is receiving cancer chemotherapy. Metoclopramide (Reglan) is also prescribed. The client asks why she is getting Reglan. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metoclopramide is an antiemetic, prescribed to prevent nausea and vomiting, common chemotherapy side effects, improving patient comfort.
