NCLEX-RN Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client is admitted with suspected Legionnaires' disease. Which factor increases the risk of developing Legionnaires' disease?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Steroid use increases the risk of Legionnaires' disease by suppressing the immune system, making it easier for Legionella bacteria to cause infection.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse would be concerned if a client exhibited which of the following symptoms during her postpartum stay?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Bradycardia is an expected assessment during the postpartum period. Diuresis can occur during labor and the postpartum period and is an expected physiological adaptation. A return of rubra after the serosa period may indicate a postpartal complication. Diaphoresis, especially at night, is an expected physiological change and does not indicate an infectious process. Bradycardia, diuresis, and diaphoresis are normal postpartum physiological responses to adjust the cardiac output and blood volume to the nonpregnant state.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a colostomy. Which finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A significantly protruding stoma may indicate prolapse, a complication requiring immediate intervention to prevent ischemia or obstruction. Pink stoma, cramping, and liquid stool are normal or less urgent.

Question 4 of 5

The primary cause of anemia in a client with chronic renal failure is:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Chronic renal failure reduces erythropoietin production, impairing red blood cell production and causing anemia. Iron absorption, RBC destruction, and intrinsic factor are secondary or unrelated.

Question 5 of 5

When preparing a client for magnetic resonance imaging, the nurse should implement which of the following?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Removing jewelry and checking for metal implants prevents MRI-related injuries due to magnetic fields. Consent and atropine (
A), scrubbing (
B), and Benadryl (
D) are not standard for MRI prep.
