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 caring for a client who has anorexia nervosa and a behavioral management plan in place. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the behavioral plan is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A potassium of 3.5 mEq/L (normal range) suggests stabilization, a sign of effective management in anorexia. Low sodium, hemoglobin, and BMI indicate ongoing issues.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a TURP. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-TURP, hourly urine output monitoring ensures patency and detects bleeding. Ambulation, gradual diet, and breathing exercises are standard.
Question 5 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.
