NCLEX Trainer Test 5 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client is taking streptomycin, isoniazid, and rifampin (Rimactane). Which statement indicates toxicity to isoniazid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Isoniazid can cause peripheral neuropathy, manifesting as sharp leg pains. Tinnitus is linked to streptomycin, orange urine to rifampin, and color vision issues are unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse performs an assessment of an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with scoliosis.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Scoliosis causes lateral spinal curvature, leading to thoracic asymmetry. Waddling gait is associated with hip issues, edema with circulatory problems, and a protruding sternum with pectus carinatum, none of which are typical of scoliosis.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of the following findings would be of GREATest concern to the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A temperature of 100.4°F suggests infection, a serious complication in TPN due to catheter-related bloodstream infections. Options A, C, and D are less urgent: hyperglycemia is common and manageable, rapid weight gain may indicate fluid overload, and potassium 3.8 mEq/L is normal.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client on complete bed rest. Which action by the nurse is most important in preventing the formation of deep vein thrombosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Preventing popliteal pressure will prevent venous stasis and possibly deep vein thrombosis.
