NCLEX RN Practice Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing discharge teaching to a client who is on isoniazid (INH). Which diet selection would let the nurse know that the teaching has been ineffective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Isoniazid can interact with tyramine-rich foods like tuna, causing adverse effects (e.g., hypertension). Selecting tuna casserole indicates ineffective teaching. The other foods are safe.
Question 2 of 5
A client is admitted for suspected bladder cancer. Which one of the following factors is most significant in the client's diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Long-term smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer due to carcinogenic chemicals in tobacco being excreted in urine, irritating the bladder.
Question 3 of 5
The client is diagnosed with multiple myloma. The doctor has ordered cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan). Which instruction should be given to the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cyclophosphamide can cause hemorrhagic cystitis; adequate hydration (e.g., 8 glasses of water) helps prevent this.
Question 4 of 5
A client who is three days postpartum and is bottle-feeding her infant calls the nurse at the gynecology clinic with complaints of breast engorgement. What instruction should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A tight binder helps relieve breast engorgement by suppressing lactation in bottle-feeding mothers, a normal postpartum occurrence.

A 4-year-old is scheduled for a routine tonsillectomy. Which of the following lab findings should be reported to the doctor?
