NCLEX PN Test Questions Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is reinforcing education to a client with a venous thromboembolism who is prescribed rivaroxaban. Which statement by the client indicates the medication teaching has been effective?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rivaroxaban is a direct oral anticoagulant that does not require routine monitoring of clotting levels, unlike warfarin. It also does not necessitate dietary restrictions like avoiding spinach and kale, which are relevant for warfarin due to vitamin K interactions. Avoiding aspirin is correct because it increases bleeding risk when combined with rivaroxaban. Weakness in legs is not a typical side effect of rivaroxaban.

Question 2 of 5

A client using a diaphragm should be instructed to:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Leaving a diaphragm in place longer than 8 hours increases infection risk. Resizing is needed for significant weight changes (e.g., 10+ pounds) or post-surgery, not minor changes.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for a woman who has internal radiation for cancer of the cervix. Which of the following situations poses the greatest risk for others?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Prolonged close contact (daughter's hours-long visit) increases radiation exposure risk. Brief visits, tray setup, or mopping pose minimal risk.
