PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for an ACE inhibitor to treat hypertension. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: ACE inhibitors commonly cause a dry cough, which should be reported. Appetite increase, jaundice, and energy boosts aren't typical effects.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is administering a client's morning oral medications. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The 'three checks'—verifying medication with the record three times—prevents errors. Documentation occurs after administration, time-critical meds need tighter timing, and two identifiers are standard.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a new parent about bathing her newborn. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sponge baths are recommended until the umbilical cord falls off to prevent infection or irritation. Talcum powder poses a respiratory risk, alkaline soap irritates skin, and water should be around 98°F, not 96°F.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for lisinopril. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lisinopril can cause angioedema (swelling of lips/face), requiring immediate reporting. Potassium increase isn't needed, urine color doesn't change, and timing is flexible.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of furosemide. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Furosemide causes electrolyte loss (e.g., potassium), requiring daily monitoring. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
