PN Fundamentals Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning to provide postmortem care for a client who requires an autopsy. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Placing an identification tag on the outside of the client's shroud ensures proper identification throughout the postmortem process, crucial for autopsy procedures.
Choice A is incorrect as documenting time of death is typically the physician’s responsibility, not assist personnel.
Choice C is incorrect because sterile gloves aren’t required unless there’s an infectious concern; regular gloves suffice.
Choice D is incorrect as dentures are handled per protocol or family wishes, not routinely given during postmortem care.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter and is verifying the client's express consent for this procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Witnessing the client's signature on a consent form ensures informed, express consent for the procedure, required for invasive actions like catheter insertion.
Choice A is incorrect as prior consent may not apply to the current procedure.
Choice B is incorrect because co-signing doesn’t verify client understanding.
Choice C is incorrect as verbal consent alone isn’t sufficient for invasive procedures; written consent is standard.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer a medication from an ampule. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Using a filter needle prevents glass particles from being aspirated into the syringe, ensuring safe administration.
Choice B is incorrect as ampules contain pre-measured doses not requiring dilution.
Choice C is unnecessary since the opened ampule’s contents are sterile, and swabbing doesn’t remove glass.
Choice D is incorrect as injecting air isn’t needed and could spill medication or affect dosing.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer a medication from an ampule. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A filter needle prevents glass shards from entering the syringe, critical for safety.
Choice B is incorrect as adding diluent alters the pre-measured dose.
Choice C is incorrect since cleansing post-opening doesn’t address glass contamination and the interior is sterile.
Choice D is incorrect as injecting air isn’t standard and could compromise the medication.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a laminectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when repositioning the client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Placing a pillow between the legs maintains spinal alignment and reduces pressure on the surgical site during logrolling, essential post-laminectomy.
Choice A isn’t directly relevant to logrolling safety.
Choice B isn’t necessary as semi-Fowler’s isn’t used for logrolling.
Choice C is incorrect as arms above the head don’t aid alignment and may stress the site.
