PN NCLEX Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which oxygen delivery system would the nurse apply that would provide the highest concentrations of oxygen to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Non-rebreather mask. The non-rebreather mask has a one-way valve that prevents exhaled air from entering the reservoir bag and one or more valves covering the air holes on the face mask itself to prevent inhalation of room air but to allow exhalation of air. When a tight seal is achieved around the mask up to 100% of the oxygen is available.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is inserting an indwelling urinary catheter for a female client. After inserting and advancing the catheter, the nurse notes no return of urine. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: No urine return may indicate incorrect placement. Reinserting at a slightly different angle corrects this. Notifying the provider is premature, a new kit is unnecessary, and waiting 30 minutes delays care.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with community acquired pneumonia. When collecting client data, the nurse should anticipate which findings? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: Crackles , pleural pain , and productive cough are typical in pneumonia. Wheezing suggests asthma, and hyperresonance indicates air trapping.
Question 4 of 5
A Spanish-speaking client is admitted for a small bowel obstruction. The surgeon explains to the client's child, who speaks both Spanish and English, that an exploratory laparotomy is needed to determine the cause of the obstruction and that possible causes include intestinal adhesions and ovarian or colon cancer. The surgeon asks the child to translate this information for the client and assist with translating the consent form. Which action by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using a trained interpreter ensures accurate, unbiased communication. Witnessing or reinforcing perpetuates the error, and reporting is premature.
