NCLEX Practice Test RN Questions

Question 1 of 5

A client with cervical cancer has a radioactive implant. Which statement indicates that the client understands the nurse's teaching regarding radioactive implants?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Clients with radioactive implants can use the bedside commode if permitted, indicating understanding of mobility restrictions. Visitor limitations, catheters, and side effects depend on the specific protocol.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client with suspected anaphylactic shock. Which intervention is the priority?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Epinephrine is the priority in anaphylactic shock to reverse bronchoconstriction and hypotension. IV fluids and oxygen are secondary, and Trendelenburg is not recommended.

Question 3 of 5

A client with a head injury asks why he cannot have something for his headache. The nurse's response is based on the understanding that analgesics could:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Analgesic medication does not counteract the effects of antibiotics. Analgesic medication may lower blood pressure elevated due to anxiety. Analgesic medication, especially CNS depressants, is not given if there is danger of increasing ICP, because neurological changes may not be apparent. Also, further depression of the CNS is contraindicated. Analgesics do not stimulate the CNS.

Question 4 of 5

Which finding in the patient's history contraindicates the use of Imitrex (sumatriptan) for the prevention of migraine headaches?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Sumatriptan (Imitrex) is a vasoconstrictor contraindicated in patients with angina due to the risk of coronary artery vasoconstriction and ischemia. Diabetes renal calculi and peptic ulcer disease are not contraindications for sumatriptan.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse teaches a male client ways to reduce the risks associated with furosemide therapy. Which of the following indicates that he understands this teaching?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Rising slowly prevents postural hypotension, a common side effect of furosemide that increases fall risk. The other options are not specific to furosemide therapy risks.
