PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for rivaroxaban. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, leading to bruising. It's taken with food (not high-fat specifically), stools may darken with bleeding, and grapefruit isn't a major concern.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who reports dry, itchy skin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A humidifier adds moisture to the air, relieving dry, itchy skin common in older adults. Frequent bathing or powder dries skin further, and bath oil is less effective long-term.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warfarin increases bleeding risk, so unusual bleeding must be reported. Potassium isn't restricted, urine color change isn't typical, and appetite isn't affected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of normal saline. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Phlebitis (e.g., redness, pain) is a risk with IV infusions, requiring monitoring. Site changes are every 72-96 hr, heparin isn't routine, and rate depends on orders.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of propofol. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Propofol, a sedative, risks respiratory depression, requiring hourly monitoring. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
