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 assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a nephrectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-nephrectomy, monitoring urinary output from the remaining kidney ensures function. Supine isn't required, diet adjusts gradually, and deep breathing prevents complications.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin detemir. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Insulin detemir requires consistent timing for stable glucose control. Shaking clouds it, hypoglycemia isn't typical at night, and it shouldn't be mixed.
Question 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a newly licensed nurse about bowel sounds. Which of the following characteristics should the nurse use to describe hyperactive bowel sounds?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperactive bowel sounds are loud, high-pitched, and frequent, indicating increased motility, not decreased. They aren't linked to paralytic ileus or soft, infrequent sounds.
