NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a postoperative client who is unresponsive to painful stimuli and is given naloxone. Within 5 minutes, the client can be roused and responds to verbal commands. One hour later, the client is again difficult to rouse, with minimal response to physical stimuli. Which actions does the nurse anticipate? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: Recurrent unresponsiveness suggests opioid re-narcotization, requiring oxygen, a second naloxone dose, and respiratory monitoring. Discontinuing pain medication is premature, and rapid response is not yet indicated.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is talking with the parent of a 1-day-old newborn who had a circumcision using the plastic ring method. Which of the following statements by the parent would require follow-up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Yellow exudate is normal during circumcision healing, not a sign of infection, requiring further teaching. Contacting the provider for persistent bleeding, avoiding alcohol wipes, and leaving the device are correct.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse knows that the mother understands the dietary instructions for her toddler who has iron deficiency anemia when the mother selects which foods?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ground beef and broccoli are iron-rich, and orange juice (vitamin
C) enhances iron absorption, ideal for iron deficiency anemia. Milk-heavy diets can inhibit iron absorption.
Question 4 of 5
What is the primary goal of family education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Improving quality of life is the primary goal of family education.
Question 5 of 5
The clinic nurse evaluates a client’s response to levothyroxine after 8 weeks of treatment. What therapeutic responses to the medication should the nurse expect? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Levothyroxine corrects hypothyroidism, normalizing heart rate (88/min), improving mood, and increasing energy. Skin should be warm/moist, and weight loss is expected, not gain.
