NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discussing activities to promote language development with the parent of a 2-year-old. Which statement by the parent requires follow-up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enrolling a 2-year-old in soccer is premature, as it does not directly promote language development and is not age-appropriate. Reading rhyming books and facilitating peer play with toys support language skills.
Question 2 of 5
A practical nurse (PN) is assigned to care for a newborn with a neural tube defect. Which dressing, if applied by the PN, would need no further intervention by the charge nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Before surgical closure, the sac is prevented from drying by the application of a sterile, moist, nonadherent dressing over the defect. Dressings are changed frequently to keep them moist.
Question 3 of 5
The father of an 8 month-old infant asks the nurse if his child's vocalizations are normal for his age. Which of the following would the nurse expect at this age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Imitation of sounds. Eight-month-olds typically imitate sounds like 'da-da' as part of language development.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is administering a tap water enema when the client begins to complain of abdominal cramping. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lowering the enema container slows the flow, reducing cramping. Stopping or withdrawing the tubing is premature, and advancing may worsen discomfort.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer preoperative medication of meperidine and atropine to an elderly adult who is scheduled for surgery. The client tells the nurse that he has glaucoma and wants to take his eye drops before going to the operating room. What is the best action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Atropine, an anticholinergic, can increase intraocular pressure, exacerbating glaucoma. Checking with the physician ensures safe administration, as withholding atropine or adjusting eye drop use may be necessary.
