PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hourly monitoring detects infiltration early, preventing complications. Heparin isn't routine, site changes are typically every 72-96 hours, and once-per-shift checks are insufficient.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for metformin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metformin can cause a metallic taste, a common side effect. It's taken with meals, doesn't cause jaundice, and carbs aren't restricted.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of propofol. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Propofol, a sedative, risks respiratory depression, requiring hourly monitoring. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for gabapentin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gabapentin often causes drowsiness, a key side effect. Milk isn't required, energy may decrease, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal or seizures.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who follows a kosher diet. Which of the following menu items should the nurse include on the tray?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Kosher dietary laws prohibit shellfish (clams, shrimp) and pork, but allow fish with fins and scales like salmon. Roasted salmon is the only compliant option.
