PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for carvedilol. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Carvedilol, a beta-blocker, can cause hypotension, requiring monitoring (e.g., BP checks). Grapefruit isn't advised, it's oral or slow IV, and glucose isn't affected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in an acute care setting is assisting in collecting client information to include in a referral for a physical therapist. Which of the following information should the nurse plan to include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Physical assessment findings (e.g., range of motion, strength) are critical for a PT referral to tailor treatment. Family history, prior meds, and insurance claims are less directly relevant.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for ketorolac IV. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ketorolac risks GI bleeding, requiring monitoring (e.g., melena). It's given over 15-30 seconds, diluted in saline, and BP isn't primary.
