PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dementia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dementia typically involves memory loss severe enough to disrupt activities of daily living (ADLs), unlike catatonia, illusions, or pressured speech, which aren't defining features.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia and a new prescription for oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Adding humidity prevents nasal dryness from oxygen. Taping all connections isn't standard, snug securing may irritate, and coughing frequency depends on condition.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hyperthyroidism increases metabolism, causing heat intolerance. Weight loss, tachycardia, and diarrhea are more typical than gain, bradycardia, or constipation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of furosemide. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Furosemide causes electrolyte loss (e.g., potassium), requiring daily monitoring. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
