PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for levofloxacin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Levofloxacin increases photosensitivity, risking sunburn, so clients should use sun protection. Dairy reduces absorption, urine color isn't affected, and stopping early risks resistance.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has pyelonephritis and is receiving gentamicin via IV infusion. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as an adverse effect of the treatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gentamicin can cause ototoxicity, leading to hearing loss, a serious adverse effect requiring monitoring. Slurred speech, hypotension, and hyperthermia aren't typical gentamicin side effects.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hourly monitoring detects phlebitis early, preventing complications. Site changes are every 72-96 hr, heparin isn't routine, and rate depends on orders.
Question 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for citalopram. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Citalopram can cause drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option if needed. Appetite changes take time, jaundice isn't a side effect, and stopping abruptly risks relapse.
