NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for several 70 to 80 year-old clients on bed rest. What is the most important measure to prevent skin breakdown?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent turning. Frequent turning will prevent skin breakdown by relieving prolonged pressure on any one area.
Question 2 of 5
A 3-year-old child had a seizure two days ago when the child's temperature was 105°F. The child has had no previous seizures. Today, the parent and the child are in the physician's office. What should the nurse include when teaching the parent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A febrile seizure at 105°F in a 3-year-old without prior seizures suggests a one-time event; ibuprofen for fevers above 101°F helps prevent recurrence, while epilepsy or immediate reporting is premature.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse in the long-term care facility discovers a client with dementia wandering in the hallway during the night. Which of the following statements would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Orienting the client and gently redirecting them to their room is calming and safe. Questioning, warning, or instructing may confuse or agitate a client with dementia.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is talking with a postpartum client about resuming sexual activity after childbirth. The client had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery 2 weeks ago. Which statement by the client requires follow-up?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovulation can occur before menses returns, so condoms are needed to prevent pregnancy. Vaginal dryness is common, and feeding before sex reduces interruptions, both correct.
Question 5 of 5
The client has increased intracranial pressure with cerebral edema, and mannitol is administered. Which assessment should the nurse make to evaluate if a complication from the mannitol is occurring?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pitting edema indicates fluid overload, a potential mannitol complication due to fluid shifts. High urine output is expected, and improving Glasgow Coma Scale is a therapeutic effect.
