NCLEX PN Prep Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is experiencing repeated unwanted sexual advances from a health care provider (HCP). Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
Rationale: Seeking support aids coping, reviewing policy clarifies procedures, reporting to a supervisor initiates formal action, and documentation provides evidence. Confronting outside work risks escalation and is unsafe.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is talking with the parent of an adolescent client with suspected bulimia nervosa. Which of the following statements by the client's parent would be consistent with bulimia nervosa?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Laxative abuse is a common purging behavior in bulimia nervosa. Cutting food and pushing it around is more typical of anorexia. Significant weight loss is less common in bulimia, as weight often fluctuates. Reduced exercise isn't characteristic.
Question 3 of 5
An elderly client has a 17-mm induration after a tuberculin skin test. Based on this result, which statement is most accurate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 17-mm induration in an elderly client indicates TB infection, as the threshold is ≥10 mm for high-risk groups. It doesn't confirm active disease, which requires further testing (e.g., chest X-ray). False positives are possible but not assumed based on age alone. Isolation isn't required without active disease.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculate: 20 mg ÷ 60 mg/mL = 0.333 mL, rounded to 0.33 mL for accurate dosing of Lovenox.
