PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for amoxicillin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amoxicillin risks allergic reactions (e.g., rash, anaphylaxis), requiring monitoring. It's oral or slow IV, diluted in saline, and full course completion is needed.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for isosorbide mononitrate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Isosorbide mononitrate commonly causes headaches due to vasodilation, a side effect that may lessen over time. It's taken in the morning, skin color isn't affected, and milk isn't required.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enoxaparin is injected into subcutaneous tissue (e.g., abdomen), not muscle. Massaging increases bleeding risk, and red stools aren't expected—bruising is more common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for amlodipine. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, can cause peripheral edema, requiring monitoring. Potassium isn't increased, it's oral, and glucose isn't affected.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring temperature hourly detects transfusion reactions early. Dextrose damages blood cells, 2-4 hours is standard, and dual verification of blood type is required.
