PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for methotrexate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Methotrexate can cause mucositis, leading to mouth sores, a common side effect to monitor. Milk isn't required, energy may decrease due to fatigue, and while alcohol avoidance is advised, mouth sores are a more immediate concern.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Infection (e.g., redness, fever) is a risk post-amputation, requiring monitoring. Elevation reduces swelling, not dependent positioning, and heat isn't standard.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing information about advance directives with a newly admitted client. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Advance directives include a living will, outlining treatment preferences. They don't cover finances, federal law supports but doesn't dictate specifics, and records should include them.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about collecting a stool specimen to check for occult blood. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding red meat for 3 days prevents false positives in occult blood tests. Dairy doesn't affect it, urine can dilute results, and weekly collection isn't standard.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in an adult day care facility is contributing to the plan of care for a client whose family reports recent confusion and memory loss. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Symbols on signage aid navigation for clients with memory loss who may struggle with written language, enhancing orientation and independence. Low lighting increases confusion, multiple meal options can overwhelm, and confrontation may heighten agitation.
