PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for loratadine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Loratadine may cause mild drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option if needed. Appetite and skin color aren't affected, and stopping depends on symptom duration.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bright red blood in urine post-TURP signals bleeding, requiring monitoring. Output checks are more frequent, rate varies, and tubing stays below bladder level.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has hypertension and a new prescription for verapamil. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Verapamil interacts with grapefruit, increasing drug levels and side effects. Weight gain, gum bleeding, and energy boosts aren't typical effects.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has diabetes mellitus about a 24-hour creatinine clearance test. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a 24-hour creatinine clearance test, the client discards the first morning void and collects all urine for the next 24 hours to measure kidney function accurately. Protein-rich diets can skew results, glucose levels aren't relevant, and antiseptics may contaminate the sample.
