PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide, a diuretic, is effective if it increases urinary output, reducing fluid overload in heart failure. Hemoglobin, BUN, and weight changes aren't direct indicators of its efficacy here.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for citalopram. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Citalopram can cause drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option if needed. Appetite changes take time, jaundice isn't a side effect, and stopping abruptly risks relapse.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for pantoprazole. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abdominal pain could indicate a complication (e.g., ulcer worsening) with pantoprazole, requiring reporting. It's taken before meals, doesn't increase stools, and skin color isn't affected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a preschooler about immunizations. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Scheduling multiple visits to spread out immunizations shows understanding of flexibility in the schedule. Lactose intolerance doesn't affect vaccines, flu starts at 6 months, and HPV is for older kids.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for oxycodone 5 mg PO every 4 hr PRN for pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oxycodone risks respiratory depression, requiring monitoring. Grapefruit isn't relevant, it's PRN not daily, and glucose isn't affected.
