PN NCLEX Practice Test Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for an elderly woman who had surgery on her right foot yesterday. The woman had a broken left arm three months ago and has osteoarthritis. Which type of assistive device will probably be most appropriate for this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A walker provides maximum stability for an elderly woman with recent foot surgery, prior arm injury, and osteoarthritis, ensuring safe ambulation.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is evaluating how a client who has a halo brace is reacting to this change in his body image. Which statement by the client indicates a need for additional support in adjusting to the brace?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Avoiding public interaction suggests poor adjustment to the halo brace, indicating a need for support to address body image concerns.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for several clients who are to have diagnostic tests. Which clients will receive similar instructions?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A barium enema and a colonoscopy both require a clear liquid diet and full bowel prep the day before. The only difference is that the client who is having a barium enema can have red liquids and the one who is having a colonoscopy cannot. The preparation for an upper GI series is NPO after midnight the night before. There is no preparation for a gallbladder sonogram. A gallbladder x-ray requires fat restriction the day before, taking iodine dye tablets, and NPO after midnight. The preparation for a gastroscopy is NPO after midnight the night before.

Question 4 of 5

A couple asks the nurse about risks of several birth control methods. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Oral contraceptives should not be used by smokers. The use of oral contraceptives in a woman who smokes increases her risk of cardiovascular problems, such as thromboembolic disorders.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is asked to float to the telemetry unit because the unit is short-staffed. The nurse is not familiar with this client population and is concerned about providing safe client care. What is the best action by the nurse?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Accepting the assignment and clarifying required skills ensures safe care with support, addressing concerns proactively. Refusing or deferring may disrupt staffing, and reading policies delays care.
