PN NCLEX Practice Test Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assisting with an education conference for graduate nurses about infant CPR. Which of the following statements are appropriate to include in the teaching? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,E
Rationale: Two minutes of CPR before defibrillator retrieval and assessing the brachial pulse for ≤10 seconds align with infant CPR guidelines. Compression depth is about one-third the chest, two fingers are used, and the ratio is 30:2 for a single rescuer.
Question 2 of 5
The charge nurse is reviewing events that staff nurses experienced during the shift. Which events require an incident/occurrence report to be completed? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: Assault, missed lab tests, and staff no-show are reportable incidents due to safety, care quality, and staffing issues. Brain death withdrawal follows protocol, and a visitor’s fall with refused care is less reportable.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the medication profile for a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Which prescription should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Codeine, an opioid, suppresses cough and respiration, risking respiratory depression in COPD. Amlodipine treats hypertension, ipratropium relieves bronchospasm, and methylprednisolone reduces inflammation, all appropriate for COPD.
Question 4 of 5
A diabetic client asks the nurse why she should use a diaphragm as a method of contraception instead of birth control pills. The best explanation for the use of a diaphragm is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A diaphragm does not affect blood glucose, unlike oral contraceptives, which can alter glycemic control. Oral contraceptives are not ineffective due to glucose levels, diaphragms do not prevent implantation or ovulation, and they are not intrauterine.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse enters a client’s room just as the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is completing a bath and placing thigh-high anti-embolism stockings on the client. Which situation would cause the nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rolling and folding the stockings creates pressure points, risking skin breakdown and poor circulation. Supine application and correct toe opening placement are appropriate.
