PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for omeprazole. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abdominal pain could signal a serious side effect (e.g., ulcer perforation) with omeprazole, requiring reporting. It's taken before meals, doesn't increase stools, and urine color isn't affected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for rivaroxaban. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, leading to bruising. It's taken with food (not high-fat specifically), stools may darken with bleeding, and grapefruit isn't a major concern.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for morphine sulfate 2 mg IV every 4 hr PRN for pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring respiratory rate prevents overdose risks (e.g., respiratory depression) with morphine. It's given slowly, diluted in less volume, and stored securely.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who reports recent weight loss. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client is dehydrated?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dry mucous membranes are a key sign of dehydration due to reduced fluid volume. Quick refill, distended veins, and strong pulses suggest adequate hydration.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a TURP. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: Post-TURP, hourly urine output monitoring ensures patency and detects bleeding. Ambulation, gradual diet, and breathing exercises are standard.
