NCLEX PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The daughter of an 80-year-old client recently diagnosed with Alzheimer disease (AD) says to the nurse, 'I guess I can anticipate getting this disease myself at some point.' What is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Regular exercise is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer disease. Family history is a risk factor, and aluminum is not a proven cause.
Question 2 of 5
A behavior modification program is planned for an adolescent who exhibits disruptive behavior. Which action by the nurse is most consistent with a behavior modification program?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Positive reinforcement (extra privileges for non-disruptive behavior) aligns with behavior modification, encouraging desired actions. Punishment, reminders, or asking perceptions are less effective.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a newborn with jaundice who is being treated with phototherapy. What action by the nurse would require the charge nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clothing during phototherapy reduces skin exposure to light, decreasing treatment efficacy.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who had a total knee replacement and has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following information should the nurse reinforce?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Mild bruising or redness is an expected side effect of enoxaparin. Black stools indicate possible bleeding, and ibuprofen increases bleeding risk. Vitamin K restriction is not necessary.
Question 5 of 5
A client is admitted with a pressure ulcer in the sacral area. The partial thickness wound is 4 cm by 7 cm, the wound base is red and moist with no exudate and the surrounding skin is intact. Which of the following coverings is most appropriate for this wound?
