PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for duloxetine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Duloxetine can cause drowsiness, so bedtime dosing is an option. Appetite changes take time, urine color isn't affected, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for pregabalin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pregabalin often causes drowsiness, a key side effect. It's taken without regard to meals, may reduce energy, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for acetaminophen 300 mg with codeine 30 mg, 1 tablet every 3 to 4 hours PRN for pain. The nurse inadvertently administers 2 tablets to the client. In which of the following locations should the nurse document this alert care incident?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Medication errors like administering an incorrect dose must be documented in an incident report for quality improvement and risk management, kept separate from the client's medical record. Other options are for care planning, controlled substance tracking, or provider updates, not incident reporting.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness due to fluid loss or low BP. It's taken in the morning, decreases potassium, and orange juice is fine.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing change-of-shift report for a client. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pain reduction with positioning is a current condition change relevant to ongoing care, unlike past history, visitor details, or routine med administration.
