PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is about to start using an albuterol metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Proper inhaler technique requires closing the mouth around the mouthpiece to ensure medication reaches the lungs. Tilting the head forward, taking quick breaths, or exhaling immediately disrupts effective delivery.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for escitalopram. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Escitalopram, an SSRI, can cause drowsiness, a side effect to note. It's taken with or without food, mood improvement takes weeks, and tyramine restriction is for MAOIs.

Question 3 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 4 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for sildenafil. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Sildenafil risks priapism (prolonged erection), requiring monitoring and reporting if over 4 hours. It's PRN, high-fat meals delay absorption, and respiratory rate isn't primary.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of nitroprusside. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Nitroprusside, a vasodilator, requires hourly BP monitoring to prevent hypotension. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
