PN NCLEX Practice Questions Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse at outpatient clinic is returning phone calls that have been made to the clinic. Which of the following calls should have the highest priority for medical intervention?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The patient experiencing neurovascular changes should have the highest priority. Pain following a TKR is normal, and breakdown over the heels is a gradual process. Moreover, a subacute ankle sprain is almost never a medical emergency.

Question 2 of 5

A client with diabetes phones the clinic stating, 'I have a terrible cold and I don't know what to do about taking my insulin.' Which of the following should be included in the nurse's teaching regarding the client's insulin needs?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Infections increase insulin resistance, raising insulin needs. Frequent glucose and ketone monitoring ensures proper management. Withholding insulin or relying on urine tests is dangerous, and infections do alter insulin requirements.

Question 3 of 5

An adult who has a tracheostomy needs to be suctioned. How should the nurse position the client for this procedure?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Semi-sitting facilitates airway access and reduces aspiration risk during tracheostomy suctioning. Supine or lateral positions are less effective.
