PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving enteral feedings via a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aspiration is a risk with NG feedings, requiring monitoring (e.g., lung sounds). Flushing is more frequent, elevation is needed, and rate depends on orders.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for atorvastatin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Atorvastatin can cause muscle pain (myopathy), a key side effect to report. It's taken regardless of meals, cholesterol drops take weeks, and potassium isn't restricted.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for bupropion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bupropion lowers seizure threshold, requiring monitoring. Drowsiness isn't typical (it's stimulating), milk isn't needed, and BP isn't primary.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a bowel resection. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Paralytic ileus (absent bowel sounds) is a risk post-bowel resection, requiring monitoring. Supine isn't needed, diet starts low-fiber, and coughing is encouraged with support.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for trazodone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Trazodone causes drowsiness, often used at bedtime for sleep. Morning dosing isn't ideal, energy decreases, and alcohol worsens sedation (also true but not the focus).
