Question 1
A nurse practitioner is assessing a patient with suspected
heart failure. Which finding is most indicative of fluid
overload?
A. Dry mucous membranes
B. Weight loss
C. Jugular vein distention
D. Bradycardia
✔ Correct Answer: C. Jugular vein distention
,Explanation:
Jugular vein distention (JVD) reflects increased central
venous pressure, a hallmark of fluid overload and heart
failure. Dry mucous membranes and weight loss suggest
dehydration, while bradycardia is unrelated.
Question 2
Which lab value is most important to monitor in a patient
receiving ACE inhibitors?
A. Hemoglobin
B. Potassium
C. Sodium
D. Calcium
✔ Correct Answer: B. Potassium
Explanation:
ACE inhibitors can cause potassium retention, leading to
hyperkalemia, which can result in dangerous cardiac
arrhythmias.
,Question 3
A patient with COPD presents with increased dyspnea. What
is the priority nursing action?
A. Administer oxygen at 10 L/min
B. Assess oxygen saturation
C. Encourage ambulation
D. Provide high-protein diet
✔ Correct Answer: B. Assess oxygen saturation
Explanation:
Assessment comes first. Determining oxygen saturation
guides oxygen therapy. High-flow oxygen without
assessment may suppress respiratory drive in COPD
patients.
Question 4
Which medication is first-line for anaphylaxis?
, A. Diphenhydramine
B. Epinephrine
C. Prednisone
D. Albuterol
✔ Correct Answer: B. Epinephrine
Explanation:
Epinephrine rapidly reverses airway constriction,
vasodilation, and shock in anaphylaxis. Antihistamines and
steroids are secondary treatments.
Question 5
A nurse is evaluating a patient with diabetes. Which finding
indicates poor glycemic control?
A. HbA1c of 5.5%
B. HbA1c of 6.2%
C. HbA1c of 8.5%
