NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse in the outpatient care facility is caring for a client with metastatic lung cancer who received chemotherapy 3 days ago. The client states, 'I have decided that I do not want to continue treatment.' Which of the following responses would be appropriate for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Acknowledging the decision’s difficulty and notifying the provider respects autonomy and ensures follow-up. Other responses judge, guilt, or deflect the client’s choice.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the chart of a client who gave birth 4 hours ago. Which factor increases the client's risk for postpartum hemorrhage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A large newborn (macrosomia, >4000 g) increases the risk of uterine atony, a major cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Labor without pain medication, an 8-hour labor, and a 20-minute third stage are not significant risk factors.
Question 3 of 5
What should the nurse do when ambulating a client who has a portable wound drainage system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fastening the drainage device below the wound promotes gravity-dependent drainage, preventing reflux and infection during ambulation.
Question 4 of 5
A client newly returned to the unit after knee surgery asks the nurse for assistance to a chair. What action should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Verifying the activity prescription ensures the client is cleared for chair transfer, preventing injury. Assistance, delegation, or premedication are secondary until safety is confirmed.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is responsible for teaching the client regarding dietary choices to provide needed magnesium. Which food is a good source of magnesium?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spinach is a rich source of magnesium, found in green leafy vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. Apple , liver , and squash have lower magnesium content.
