Practice NCLEX PN Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client is scheduled for a myelogram. Which of the following medications orders should be questioned?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ibuprofen (Motrin) has anticoagulant properties, increasing bleeding risk during a myelogram, a procedure involving spinal puncture. Other medications are safer.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing information about techniques to improve sleep habits with a client who experiences frequent insomnia. Which statement by the client requires further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Reading in bed associates the bed with wakefulness, requiring further teaching. Avoiding naps , cool temperature , and consistent sleep schedule promote sleep hygiene.
Question 3 of 5
An adult male has an IV in the left arm. The client calls the nurse and says that his left arm hurts. The LPN checks the IV site and notes that it is cool and blanched and not running well. What should the LPN do at this time?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cool, blanched skin and poor flow indicate infiltration; removing the IV and starting a new line prevents tissue damage.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for an infant with suspected meningitis and preparing to assist with a lumbar puncture. What is the appropriate nursing intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: During a lumbar puncture for an infant, holding the child in a flexed position with head and knees tucked and back rounded ensures proper spinal alignment for safe needle insertion. Oxygen is not routinely needed, cleaning is typically done by the provider, and vital sign monitoring is important but not the primary intervention.
Question 5 of 5
Four clients arrive in the urgent care clinic. Which does the nurse anticipate to be the priority for intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The child who is confused and irritable with missing glyburide pills suggests a potential hypoglycemic emergency due to sulfonylurea overdose, which requires immediate intervention to prevent severe complications like seizures or coma.
