PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old child immediately following a tonic-clonic seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After a tonic-clonic seizure, the nurse should first check the child for any injuries, particularly in the oral cavity, as the child may have bitten their tongue or sustained other oral injuries during the seizure. Offering fluids is not a priority due to disorientation and choking risk, a supine position may hinder breathing, and medication should only be given if prescribed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for isoniazid. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Isoniazid risks liver damage (hepatotoxicity), requiring monitoring (e.g., LFTs). It's oral, not IV, and taken daily for TB treatment.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for diltiazem. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, can cause bradycardia, requiring monitoring. Grapefruit increases levels, it's given slowly IV, and glucose isn't affected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for pregabalin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pregabalin often causes drowsiness, a key side effect. It's taken without regard to meals, may reduce energy, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for esomeprazole. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abdominal pain could signal a serious issue (e.g., ulcer complication) with esomeprazole, requiring reporting. It's taken before meals, doesn't affect appetite, and drowsiness isn't typical.
