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 is caring for a client with a history of falls.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A night light in the bathroom reduces fall risk by improving visibility during nighttime ambulation, a common time for falls. High bed positions and bed rest increase fall risk, and fluid restriction is unrelated to fall prevention.
Question 3 of 5
A client is receiving a nitroglycerin infusion for unstable angina. What assessment would be a priority when monitoring the effects of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Since an effect of this drug is vasodilation, the client must be monitored for hypotension.
Question 4 of 5
An adult who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is receiving oxygen at home via nasal cannula. In addition to instructing the client and his family about not smoking when oxygen is in use, what should the nurse plan to include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Shuffling across carpet generates static electricity, risking sparks near oxygen, which is a fire hazard. Adjusting oxygen flow without medical orders or cleaning with alcohol (instead of soap and water) is unsafe.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of depression who is receiving sertraline (Zoloft) 50 mg PO daily. Which of the following symptoms should the nurse report immediately?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Suicidal thoughts are a medical emergency in clients on SSRIs like sertraline. Options A, B, and D are common side effects.
