PN NCLEX Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The home health nurse is reviewing current medications with a client who has hypertension. Which of the following statements by the client would require follow-up?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ibuprofen can reduce the efficacy of antihypertensives and cause fluid retention, worsening hypertension. Omeprazole , docusate , and hydrochlorothiazide are unlikely to interfere with hypertension management.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Desmopressin treats diabetes insipidus by replacing vasopressin. Checking urine osmolarity and serum sodium monitors the condition. Trendelenburg position is inappropriate as it may increase intracranial pressure post-hypophysectomy.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching of proper technique for colostomy irrigation for the home health client. Which client action indicates that further instruction is required?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using an enema set is incorrect; a cone-tipped irrigator is required for safe colostomy irrigation. Water volume , height , and clamping are correct.
