PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for apixaban. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Apixaban, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, leading to bruising. It's taken with or without food, urine color isn't affected, and alcohol isn't contraindicated but should be limited.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for buprenorphine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Buprenorphine, an opioid, can cause drowsiness, a key side effect. Milk isn't required, energy may decrease, and stopping depends on the treatment plan.
Question 3 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.
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 assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hourly monitoring detects infiltration early, preventing complications. Heparin isn't routine, site changes are typically every 72-96 hours, and once-per-shift checks are insufficient.
