NCLEX Practice Test PN Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

An adult client is receiving oxygen at 6 L/min. The client asks the nurse why the oxygen is running through bubbling water. What should be included in the nurse's reply?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Bubbling water in oxygen delivery systems humidifies the oxygen, preventing mucosal drying. It doesn't cool oxygen, prevent fires, or reduce infections.

Question 2 of 5

A client with a below-the-knee amputation is experiencing phantom limb pain. Which action by the nurse would be most effective in relieving the pain?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Applying a TENS unit can help relieve phantom limb pain by stimulating nerves and reducing pain signals. Acknowledging the pain is supportive but does not directly relieve it. Elevating the stump may help with swelling but not specifically phantom pain. Rewrapping the stump may provide comfort but is less effective than TENS for pain relief.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who was prescribed oral theophylline. Which client statement indicates that additional teaching is required?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Cimetidine inhibits theophylline metabolism, increasing toxicity risk. Omeprazole is safer, and this statement indicates a need for further teaching.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is conducting a home visit to assess an elderly client with advanced heart failure who lives alone. When the nurse asks about sodium intake, the client becomes angry and says, 'I'm so tired of people telling me what to do! I'm going to eat what I want, so leave me alone!' Which of the following is the most appropriate response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Acknowledging the client's anger and inviting them to express their feelings promotes therapeutic communication, helping to de-escalate the situation and address underlying concerns.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is reviewing teaching about newly prescribed clonazepam with a client who is receiving palliative care for cancer. Which client statement shows a correct understanding of the nurse's teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Lavender essential oil in a diffuser is a safe, non-pharmacological method to reduce restlessness, compatible with clonazepam without risk of interaction.
