NCLEX PN Practice Tests Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is talking with a postpartum client about resuming sexual activity after childbirth. The client had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery 2 weeks ago. Which statement by the client requires follow-up?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovulation can occur before menses returns, so condoms are needed to prevent pregnancy. Vaginal dryness is common, and feeding before sex reduces interruptions, both correct.
Question 2 of 5
While reviewing the chart of an elderly client, the nurse notes that the last recorded temperature for the preceding shift was 104°. There is no documented intervention. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Retaking the temperature verifies the current status, as the fever may have resolved. Checking orders or asking the client assumes the fever persists, and calling the nurse is impractical.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing an infant with developmental dysplasia of the hip. Which finding would the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Unequal leg length. Shortening of the affected leg is a sign of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is discussing activities to promote language development with the parent of a 2-year-old. Which statement by the parent requires follow-up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enrolling a 2-year-old in soccer is premature, as it does not directly promote language development and is not age-appropriate. Reading rhyming books and facilitating peer play with toys support language skills.
Question 5 of 5
A client comes into the community health center upset and crying stating 'I will die of cancer now that I have this disease.' And then the client hands the nurse a paper with one word written on it: 'Pheochromocytoma.' Which response should the nurse state initially?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pheochromocytomas usually aren't cancerous (malignant). But they may be associated with cancerous tumors in other parts of the body, providing reassurance and accurate information to alleviate the client's fear.
