Practice NCLEX PN Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing instructions to a client scheduled for cardiac pharmacologic nuclear stress testing. Which client statements indicate appropriate understanding?
Correct Answer: C,D
Rationale: Stopping coffee 24 hours before prevents interference with the stress test, and taking insulin as usual maintains glycemic control. Smoking and eating a large meal can alter test results.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse would expect the cystic fibrosis client to receive supplemental pancreatic enzymes along with a diet
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: High in carbohydrates and proteins. This diet supports energy needs and compensates for malabsorption in cystic fibrosis.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse working on a medical-surgical unit receives change-of-shift report on several clients. Which client should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A fever of 100.9 F post-arteriovenous graft suggests possible infection, requiring immediate assessment. Cramping and minor bleeding are expected post-polypectomy, urinary hesitancy is common post-hernia repair, and straining is less urgent.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse in the outpatient care facility is caring for a client who is blind. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Walking slightly ahead with the client holding the nurse's elbow is the standard technique for guiding a blind person safely. Offering food to a service dog is inappropriate, teaching cane use assumes need, and touching without warning may startle.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a venous stasis ulcer. Which nursing intervention would be most effective in promoting healing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The goal of clinical management in a client with venous stasis ulcers is to promote healing. This only can be accomplished with proper nutrition. The other interventions are appropriate, but without proper nutrition, they would be of little help.
