PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for doxycycline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Doxycycline increases photosensitivity, risking sunburn. Milk reduces absorption, urine color isn't affected, and full course completion prevents resistance.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for furosemide 40 mg PO daily. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide causes potassium loss, so monitoring for hypokalemia is key. It's given in the morning, fluid intake shouldn't decrease, and glucose isn't directly affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for ranitidine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ranitidine can cause drowsiness, a side effect to note. It's taken with or without food, doesn't increase stools, and abdominal pain isn't a new concern unless severe.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of nitroprusside. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nitroprusside, a vasodilator, requires hourly BP monitoring to prevent hypotension. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Yellowish drainage suggests infection or bile leakage, requiring reporting. Mild fever, moderate pain, and normal heart rate are less urgent post-cholecystectomy.
