Questions 1. A client, age 28, was recently diagnosed with Hodgkins disease. After staging, therapy is planned to include combination radiation therapy and systemic chemotherapy with MOPP nitrogen mustard, vincristine (Onconvin), prednisone, and procarbazine. In planning care for this client, the nurse should anticipate which of the following side effects to contribute to a sense of altered body image?A) cushingoid appearanceB) alopeciaC) temporary or permanent sterilityD) pathologic fractures2. Which of the following is an inappropriate item to include in planning care for a severely neutropenic client?A) Transfuse netrophils (granulocytes) to prevent infection.B) Exclude raw vegetables from the diet.C) Avoid administering rectal suppositories.D) Prohibit vases of fresh flowers and plants in the client - s room.3. Which sign might the nurse see in a client with a high ammonia level?A) comaB) edemaC) hypoxiaD) polyuria4. A client with which of the following conditions is at risk for developing a high ammonia level?A) renal failureB) psoriasisC) lupusD) cirrhosis5. For which of the following conditions might blood be drawn for uric acid level?A) asthmaB) goutC) diverticulitisD) meningitis Right Answer and Explanation: 1. Right Answer: DExplanation: Pathologic fractures are not common to the disease process. Its treatment through osteoporosis is a potential complication of steroid use. Hodgkins disease most commonly affects young adults (males), is spread through lymphatic channels to contiguous nodes, and also might spread via the hematogenous route to extradal sites (GI, bone marrow, skin, and other organs). A working staging classification is performed for clinical use and care. Physiological Adaptation2. Right Answer: AExplanation: Granulocyte transfusion is not indicated to prevent infection. Produced in the bone marrow, granulocytes normally comprise 70% of all WBCs. They are subdivided into three types based on staining properties: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. They can be beneficial in a selected population of infected, severely granulocytopenic clients (less than 500/mm3) who do not respond to antibiotic therapy and who are expected to experience prolonged suppression of granulocyte production. Physiological Adaptation3. Right Answer: AExplanation: Coma might be seen in a client with a high ammonia level. Reduction of Risk Potential4. Right Answer: DExplanation: A client with cirrhosis is at risk for developing a high ammonia level. Reduction of Risk Potential5. Right Answer: BExplanation: Uric acid levels are indicated for clients with gout.

Right Answer and Explanation: 1. Right Answer: AExplanation: This statement reveals cultural sensitivity. Ginger is sometimes used to relieve nausea. The other statements are culturally insensitive and do not show an awareness of herbal pharmacology. Physiological Adaptation2. Right Answer: BExplanation: Zofran is a serotonin antagonist that can be used to relieve nausea and vomiting. The other medications can be used for nausea and vomiting, but they have different mechanisms of action. Physiological Adaptation3. Right Answer: DExplanation: STDs affect certain groups in groups in greater numbers. Factors associated with risk include being younger than 25 years of age, being a member of a minority group, residing in an urban setting, being impoverished, and using crack cocaine.

Questions 1. Acyclovir is the drug of choice for:A) HIV.B) HSV 1 and 2 and VZV.C) CMV.D) influenza A viruses.2. A safety measure to implement when transferring a client with hemiparesis from a bed to a wheelchair is:A) standing the client and walking him or her to the wheelchair.B) moving the wheelchair close to client - s bed and standing and pivoting the client on his unaffected extremity to the wheelchair.C) moving the wheelchair close to client - s bed and standing and pivoting the client on his affected extremity to the wheelchair.D) having the client stand and push his body to the wheelchair.3. Assessment of a client with a cast should include:A) capillary refill, warm toes, no discomfort.B) posterior tibial pulses, warm toes.C) moist skin essential, pain threshold.D) discomfort of the metacarpals.4. In teaching clients with Buck - s Traction, the major areas of importance should be:A) nutrition, ROM exercises.B) ROM exercises, transportation.C) nutrition, elimination, comfort, safety.D) elimination, safety, isotonic exercises.5. When a client informs the nurse that he is experiencing hypoglycemia, the nurse provides immediate intervention by providing:A) one commercially prepared glucose tablet.B) two hard candies.C) 4 - 6 ounces of fruit juice with 1 teaspoon of sugar added.D) 2 - 3 teaspoons of honey. Right Answer and Explanation: 1. Right Answer: BExplanation: Acyclovir (Zovirax) is specific for treatment of herpes virus infections. There is no cure for herpes. Acyclovir is excreted unchanged in the urine and therefore must be used cautiously in the presence of renal impairment.Drugs that treat herpes inhibit viral DNA replication by competing with viral substrates to form shorter, ineffective DNA chains. Physiological Adaptation2. Right Answer: BExplanation: Moving the wheelchair close to clients bed and having him stand and pivot on his unaffected extremity to the wheelchair is safer because it provides support with the unaffected limb. Basic Care and Comfort3. Right Answer: AExplanation: Assessment for adequate circulation is necessary. Signs of impaired circulation include slow capillary refill, cool fingers or toes, and pain. Basic Care and Comfort4. Right Answer: CExplanation: Nutrition, elimination, comfort, and safety are the major areas of importance. The diet should be high in protein with adequate fluids. Basic Care and Comfort5. Right Answer: DExplanation: The usual recommendation for treatment of hypoglycemia is 1015 grams of a fast-acting simple carbohydrate, orally, if the client is conscious and able to swallow(for example, 34 commercially prepared glucose tablets or 46 oz of fruit juice). It is not necessary to add sugar to juice, even if it is labeled as unsweetened juice because the fruit sugar in juice contains enough simple carbohydrate to raise the blood glucose level. Addition of sugar might result in a sharp rise in blood sugar that could last for several hours.

NCLEX-PN Exam Questions - Part 9
Questions 1. A client comes to the clinic for assessment of his physical status and guidelines for starting a weight-reduction diet. The clients weight is 216 pounds and his height is 66 inches. The nurse identifies the BMI (body mass index) as:A) within normal limits, so a weight-reduction diet is unnecessary.B) lower than normal, so education about nutrient-dense foods is needed.C) indicating obesity because the BMI is 35.D) indicating overweight status because the BMI is 27.2. Which of the following injuries, if demonstrated by a client entering the Emergency Department, is the highest priority?A) open leg fractureB) open head injuryC) stab wound to the chestD) traumatic amputation of a thumb3. Why must the nurse be careful not to cut through or disrupt any tears, holes, bloodstains, or dirt present on the clothing of a client who has experienced trauma?A) The clothing is the property of another and must be treated with care.B) Such care facilitates repair and salvage of the clothing.C) The clothing of a trauma victim is potential evidence with legal implications.D) Such care decreases trauma to the family members receiving the clothing.4. Which of the following terms refers to soft-tissue injury caused by blunt force?A) contusionB) strainC) sprainD) dislocation5. A client with dumping syndrome should ___________ while a client with GERD should ___________.A) sit up 1 hour after meals; lie flat 30 minutes after mealsB) lie down 1 hour after eating; sit up at least 30 minutes after eatingC) sit up after meals; sit up after mealsD) lie down after meals; lie down after meals Right Answer and Explanation: 1. Right Answer: CExplanation: Obesity is defined by a BMI of 30 or more with no co-morbid conditions. It is calculated by utilizing a chart or nomogram that plots height and weight. This clientsBMI is 35, indicating obesity. Goals of diet therapy are aimed at decreasing weight and increasing activity to healthy levels based on a clients BMI, activity status, and energy requirements. Physiological Adaptation2. Right Answer: CExplanation: A stab wound to the chest might result in lung collapse and mediastinal shift that, if untreated, could lead to death. Treatment of an obstructed airway or a chest wound is a higher priority than hemorrhage. The principle of ABC (airway, breathing, and circulation) prioritizes care decisions. Physiological Adaptation3. Right Answer: CExplanation: Trauma in any client, living or dead, has potential legal and/or forensic implications. Clothing, patterns of stains, and debris are sources of potential evidence and must be preserved. Nurses must be aware of state and local regulations that require mandatory reporting of cases of suspected child and elder abuse, accidental death, and suicide. Each Emergency Department has written policies and procedures to assist nurses and other health care providers in making appropriate reports. Physical evidence is real, tangible, or latent matter that can be visualized, measured, or analyzed. Emergency Department nurses can be called on to collect evidence. Health care facilities have policies governing the collection of forensic evidence. The chain of evidence custody must be followed to ensure the integrity and credibility of the evidence. The chain of evidence custody is the pathway that evidence follows from the time it is collected until is has served its purpose in the legal investigation of an incident. Physiological Adaptation4. Right Answer: AExplanation: A contusion is a soft-tissue injury caused by blunt force. It is an injury that does not break the skin, is caused by a blow and is characterized by swelling, discoloration, and pain. The immediate application of cold might limit the development of a contusion. A strain is a muscle pull from overuse, overstretching, or excessive stress.A sprain is caused by a wrenching or twisting motion. A dislocation is a condition in which the articular surfaces of the bones forming a joint are no longer in anatomic contact. Physiological Adaptation5. Right Answer: BExplanation: Clients with dumping syndrome should lie down after eating to decrease dumping syndrome. GERD clients should sit up to prevent backflow of acid into the esophagus.

A client turns her ankle. She is diagnosed as having a Pulled Ligament. This should be documented as a:A) sprain.B) strain.C) subluxation.D) distoration. Right Answer and Explanation: 1. Right Answer: DExplanation: Duodenal intestinal fluid is rich in K+, NA+, and bicarbonate. Suctioning to remove excess fluids decreases the clients K+ and NA+ levels. Basic Care andComfort2. Right Answer: CExplanation: Serosanguious drainage is expected at this time. The dressing should be reinforced. Changing a new postop dressing increases the risk of infection. An abdominal binder interferes with visualization of the dressing. Basic Care and Comfort3. Right Answer: DExplanation: Colace is a stool softener that acts by pulling more water into the bowel lumen, making the stool soft and easier to evacuate. Basic Care and Comfort4. Right Answer: DExplanation: Mortons neuroma is a small mass or tumor in a digital nerve of the foot. Hallux valgus is referred to in lay terms as abunion. Hammertoe is where one toe is cocked up over another toe. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of, or pain in, the arch of the foot. Basic Care and Comfort5.

NCLEX-PN Exam Questions - Part 11
Questions 1. To remove hard contact lenses from an unresponsive client, the nurse should:A) gently irrigate the eye with an irrigating solution from the inner canthus outward.B) grasp the lens with a gentle pinching motion.C) don sterile gloves before attempting the procedure.D) ensure that the lens is centered on the cornea before gently manipulating the lids to release the lens.2. To remove a client - s gown when she has an intravenous line, the nurse should:A) temporarily disconnect the intravenous tubing at a point close to the client and thread it through the gown.B) cut the gown with scissors.C) thread the bag and tubing through the gown sleeve, keeping the line intact.D) temporarily disconnect the tubing from the intravenous container and thread it through the gown.3. When making an occupied bed, it is important for the nurse to:A) keep the bed in the low position.B) use a bath blanket or top sheet for warmth and privacy.C) constantly keep side rails raised on both sides.D) move back and forth from one side to the other when adjusting the linens.4. Diagnostic genetic counseling, for procedures such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, allows clients to make all of the following choices except:A) terminating the pregnancy.B) preparing for the birth of a child with special needs.C) accessing support services before the birth.D) completing the grieving process before the birth.5. A client who is experiencing infertility says to the nurse, 'I feel I will be incomplete as a man/woman if I cannot have a child.' Which of the following nursing diagnoses is likely to be appropriate for this client?A) Risk for Self HarmB) Body Image DisturbanceC) Ineffective Role PerformanceD) Powerlessness Right Answer and Explanation: 1. Right Answer: DExplanation: To remove hard contact lenses, the upper and lower eyelids are gently maneuvered to help loosen the lens and slide it out of the eye. The lens must be situated on the cornea, not the sclera, before removal. An attempt to grasp a hard lens might result in a scratch on the cornea. Clean gloves are an option if drainage is present. Basic Care and Comfort2. Right Answer: CExplanation: Threading the bag and tubing through the gown sleeve keeps the system intact. Opening an intravenous line causes a break in a sterile system and introduces the potential for infection. Cutting a gown off is not an alternative except in an emergency. IV gowns, which open along sleeves, are widely available. Basic Care andComfort3. Right Answer: BExplanation: Using a bath blanket or top sheet keeps the client warm and provides privacy. Keeping the bed in the low position and working above raised side rails might strain the nurses back. Continually moving back and forth to tuck and arrange linen is time-consuming and disorganized. Basic Care and Comfort4. Right Answer: DExplanation: If findings are ominous, the grieving process will not be completed before birth. If the couple elects to terminate a pregnancy based on diagnostic tests, there will be grief and concerns for future pregnancies. Couples might choose to access support services and prepare for the birth of an infant with special needs. Some fetal conditions can be treated in utero. Health Promotion and Maintenance5. Right Answer: BExplanation: Of the nursing diagnoses listed, the clients statement most represents Body Image Disturbance because it directly refers to loss of the function of having a child.Nothing in the statement indicates that the client is at risk for harming herself. Ineffective Role Performance could be correct but is not the best choice because the statement does not reflect a disruption of the parents role. Powerlessness could be an appropriate nursing diagnosis if the client described feeling powerless about the infertility.
