PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for furosemide 40 mg PO daily. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide causes potassium loss, so monitoring for hypokalemia is key. It's given in the morning, fluid intake shouldn't decrease, and glucose isn't directly affected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for metformin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metformin can cause a metallic taste, a common side effect. It's taken with meals, doesn't cause jaundice, and carbs aren't restricted.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prednisone, a corticosteroid, can cause hyperglycemia, requiring monitoring (e.g., glucose levels). Headaches don't warrant stopping, it's oral or slow IV, and BP is checked as needed.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for albuterol via nebulizer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol can cause tachycardia, a side effect to monitor. Deep breaths are needed, dosing is typically 4-6 hr, and O2 sat is checked as needed.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for rivaroxaban. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, leading to bruising. It's taken with food (not high-fat specifically), stools may darken with bleeding, and grapefruit isn't a major concern.
