Practice NCLEX PN Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The physician has recommended that the client increase the amount of dietary iron. The nurse knows that the client understands the recommendation when the client selects which foods?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Roast beef is high in iron, suitable for increasing dietary iron. Other options lack significant iron sources.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
The health care provider has told a client to take over-the-counter supplemental calcium carbonate 1000 mg/day for treatment of osteoporosis. Which instruction should the clinic nurse reinforce with the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Taking calcium carbonate in divided doses with food enhances absorption and reduces GI upset. Monthly calcium levels are unnecessary, vitamin D should continue, and bedtime dosing is less effective.
Question 4 of 5
An adult who had a laryngectomy is ready for discharge. What question is it essential for the nurse to ask the client before discharge?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Smoke detectors are critical post-laryngectomy, as impaired speech and potential airway issues increase fire safety risks, making this a priority discharge question.
Question 5 of 5
The clinic nurse is caring for several clients during well-child visits. The nurse should recognize which client as being the most at risk for anemia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A preterm infant bottle-fed with breastmilk is most at risk for anemia due to preterm infants' lower iron stores and breastmilk's low iron content. Term breastfed infants (A,
D) have adequate stores initially, and iron-fortified formula prevents anemia.
