NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A primigravida with diabetes is admitted to the labor and delivery unit at 34 weeks gestation. Which doctor's order should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Brethine (terbutaline) is a tocolytic used to stop preterm labor, which is inappropriate at 34 weeks with diabetes, as delivery may be indicated. Magnesium sulfate is used for preeclampsia, Stadol is for pain, and Ancef is an antibiotic, all of which may be appropriate.
Question 2 of 5
The clinic nurse evaluates a client’s response to levothyroxine after 8 weeks of treatment. What therapeutic responses to the medication should the nurse expect? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Levothyroxine corrects hypothyroidism, normalizing heart rate (88/min), improving mood, and increasing energy. Skin should be warm/moist, and weight loss is expected, not gain.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assisting at a disaster shelter setup following a devastating earthquake. What is the most common problem the nurse is likely to see in those who come to the shelter?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Stress is the most common issue post-disaster due to trauma and displacement, affecting most survivors. Thirst, injuries, or medical exacerbations are less universal.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is acting as a preceptor for a student nurse in the labor and delivery unit. Which action by the student would require correction by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Artificial nails harbor bacteria, and scrubbing underneath is inadequate; they should be avoided in labor and delivery. Other actions align with infection control protocols.
Question 5 of 5
A woman in a residence facility is having difficulty sleeping at night. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate initially?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A back rub and warm milk promote relaxation non-pharmacologically, addressing insomnia safely. Medication, walking, or tea (caffeine) are less appropriate.
