NCLEX-PN Quizlet 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is likely to increase the risk of sexually transmitted disease?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: All of the above factors are likely to increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Alcohol use can impair judgment, leading to risky sexual behavior. Certain types of sexual practices, especially unprotected sex or multiple partners, increase the likelihood of contracting STDs. While oral contraception use does not directly increase the risk of STDs, it does not protect against them either.
Therefore, all the choices (alcohol use, certain types of sexual practices, and oral contraception use) can contribute to an increased risk of contracting STDs.
Question 2 of 5
A patient asks a nurse the following question: Exposure to TB can be best identified with which of the following procedures?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Mantoux test, also known as the tuberculin skin test, is the most appropriate and accurate test to identify exposure to TB. This test involves injecting a small amount of PPD tuberculin under the top layer of the skin, and a positive reaction indicates exposure to the TB bacteria.
Choice A, a chest x-ray, is useful for detecting active TB disease but not exposure.
Choice C, a breath sounds examination, is not a specific test for TB exposure.
Choice D, a sputum culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is used to diagnose active TB infection rather than exposure.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following observations is most important when assessing a client's breathing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is the presence of breathing and adequacy of breathing. It is crucial not only to confirm that the client is breathing but also to ensure that the breathing is adequate for proper oxygenation.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because while pulse rate, breathing pattern, and patient position are relevant aspects to consider, the most critical observations in assessing a client's breathing are the presence and adequacy of breathing.
Question 4 of 5
A client receives a cervical intracavity radium implant as part of her therapy. A common side effect of a cervical implant is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'creamy, pink-tinged vaginal drainage.' This side effect persists for 1 to 2 months after the removal of a cervical implant. Diarrhea, not constipation, is usually a side effect of cervical implants. Stomatitis and xerostomia are local side effects of radiation to the mouth, not associated with cervical implants.
Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse working in a pediatric clinic observes the following situations. Which of the following may indicate a delayed child to the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A 12-month-old that does not 'cruise''. At 12 months, a child should at least be 'cruising' (holding on to objects to walk), which is considered pre-walking. The other choices describe age-appropriate developmental milestones: sitting upright unsupported by 8 months, rolling prone to supine by 6 months, and rolling supine to prone by 3 months. Not 'cruising' at 12 months may indicate a delay in motor skills development.
