NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The father of an 8 month-old infant asks the nurse if his child's vocalizations are normal for his age. Which of the following would the nurse expect at this age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Imitation of sounds. Eight-month-olds typically imitate sounds like 'da-da' as part of language development.
Question 2 of 5
A 3 year-old child is treated in the emergency department after ingestion of 1 ounce of a liquid narcotic. What action should the nurse perform first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Check the mouth and radial pulse. Assessing airway, breathing, and circulation is the first step in treating toxic ingestion to stabilize the client.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching about nutrition with the parents of a 6-year-old client with cystic fibrosis. Which recommended diet should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cystic fibrosis requires a high-calorie, high-protein diet to support growth and compensate for malabsorption. Other diets do not meet the increased nutritional demands.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse in the long-term care facility discovers a client with dementia wandering in the hallway during the night. Which of the following statements would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Orienting the client and gently redirecting them to their room is calming and safe. Questioning, warning, or instructing may confuse or agitate a client with dementia.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is giving home care to an elderly client with angina pectoris and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which observation is of most concern and should be reported immediately?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chest discomfort in a client with angina suggests possible cardiac ischemia, requiring immediate reporting to prevent myocardial infarction. Brown spots, toenail pain, or exertional dyspnea are less urgent.
