PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Infection (e.g., redness, fever) is a risk post-amputation, requiring monitoring. Elevation reduces swelling, not dependent positioning, and heat isn't standard.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for duloxetine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Duloxetine can cause drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option. Appetite changes take time, urine color isn't affected, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a gastrectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dumping syndrome (rapid gastric emptying) is a risk post-gastrectomy, requiring monitoring. Supine isn't needed, diet starts low-carb, and fluid timing varies.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for venlafaxine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Venlafaxine can increase blood pressure, requiring monitoring. It's taken with food, doesn't cause jaundice, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for loratadine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Loratadine may cause mild drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option if needed. Appetite and skin color aren't affected, and stopping depends on symptom duration.
