NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for transdermal nitroglycerin patches for angina. Which of the following statements by the client would require follow-up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nitroglycerin patches are for angina prevention, applied daily, not as-needed. Rotating sites, avoiding hair, and removing at night (patch-free interval) are correct.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with irritable bowel syndrome. Which of the following menu selections would be appropriate to offer the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Baked chicken, brown rice, and strawberries are low-FODMAP, suitable for IBS. Beans, yogurt, coffee, and broccoli are high-FODMAP, likely to trigger symptoms.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a suspected stroke who is scheduled for a CT scan of the head. Which of the following assessments would be a priority for the nurse to make prior to the CT scan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Allergies to contrast media are critical to assess before a CT scan to prevent anaphylaxis. Asthma, glucose, and vital signs are important but secondary to contrast safety.
Question 4 of 5
A client who has Mycoplasma pneumonia needs to go to the radiology department for a chest x-ray. What should the client wear?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A surgical mask prevents droplet transmission of Mycoplasma pneumonia during transport, protecting others.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is acting as a preceptor for a student nurse in the labor and delivery unit. Which action by the student would require correction by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Artificial nails harbor bacteria, and scrubbing underneath is inadequate; they should be avoided in labor and delivery. Other actions align with infection control protocols.
