NCLEX Trainer Test 5 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse performs an assessment of an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with scoliosis.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Scoliosis causes lateral spinal curvature, leading to thoracic asymmetry. Waddling gait is associated with hip issues, edema with circulatory problems, and a protruding sternum with pectus carinatum, none of which are typical of scoliosis.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is teaching a client with a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation about diltiazem (Cardizem). Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Taking diltiazem with grapefruit juice is incorrect, as it increases drug levels, risking toxicity. Options A, B, and D are correct: pulse monitoring detects bradycardia, leg swelling may indicate heart failure, and avoiding driving with dizziness prevents accidents.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for an adult who had a cervical laminectomy this morning. After an uneventful stay in the postanesthesia care unit, the client is returned to the nursing care unit. How should the client be positioned immediately upon return?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Semi-reclining reduces neck strain and swelling post-cervical laminectomy, promoting comfort and healing. Supine or prone may increase pressure, and side-lying is less optimal.

Question 4 of 5

The home care nurse is instructing a client recently diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Adherence to a 6-9 month medication regimen is critical to cure tuberculosis and prevent drug resistance. While respiratory precautions, family support, and masks are important, long-term medication compliance is the most essential for treatment success.

Question 5 of 5

During the development of a nursing care plan, the nurse should consider which of the following clients for the use of a restraint?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: arm restraints are necessary to prevent infant from rubbing or otherwise disturbing suture line
