PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for clonazepam. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clonazepam causes drowsiness, requiring monitoring. It's as prescribed (not always daily), taken without regard to meals, and respiratory checks aren't primary.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for metoprolol. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, can cause bradycardia, requiring pulse monitoring. It's taken without regard to meals, given slowly IV if applicable, and glucose isn't directly affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is administering a client's morning oral medications. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The 'three checks'—verifying medication with the record three times—prevents errors. Documentation occurs after administration, time-critical meds need tighter timing, and two identifiers are standard.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for celecoxib. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Celecoxib, an NSAID, increases bleeding risk, requiring monitoring (e.g., bruising). It's taken with food, urine color isn't affected, and stopping depends on the condition.
