PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is at risk for falls. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Calling for assistance reduces fall risk by ensuring support. High beds, socks only, and no band alone increase risk without addressing immediate safety.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for levothyroxine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Levothyroxine can cause palpitations if over-dosed, requiring reporting. It's taken on an empty stomach, boosts energy, and typically causes weight loss.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enoxaparin is injected into subcutaneous tissue (e.g., abdomen), not muscle. Massaging increases bleeding risk, and red stools aren't expected—bruising is more common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Yellowish drainage suggests infection or bile leakage, requiring reporting. Mild fever, moderate pain, and normal heart rate are less urgent post-cholecystectomy.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has osteoporosis and a new prescription for alendronate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Remaining upright for 30 minutes prevents esophageal irritation from alendronate. It's taken in the morning, rash isn't common, and milk interferes with absorption.
