ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY
GRADED A+
SECTION A: MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
1. A 68-year-old patient with heart failure is prescribed furosemide. Which
assessment finding requires immediate intervention?
A. Blood pressure 128/78 mmHg
B. Potassium level 3.0 mmol/L
C. Weight loss of 0.5 kg in 2 days
D. Urine output of 1500 mL/day
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Furosemide is a loop diuretic that causes potassium loss. Hypokalemia (K⁺ 3.0
mmol/L) can lead to life-threatening dysrhythmias and requires urgent correction.
2. A nurse is caring for a patient with increased intracranial pressure (ICP).
Which position is most appropriate?
A. Trendelenburg position
B. Supine flat position
C. Head elevated at 30 degrees
D. Prone position
Correct Answer: C
,Rationale:
Elevating the head at 30 degrees promotes venous drainage from the brain and
reduces ICP.
3. A diabetic patient presents with confusion, sweating, and tremors. What is
the priority action?
A. Administer long-acting insulin
B. Give IV dextrose or oral glucose
C. Restrict fluids
D. Check HbA1c level
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Symptoms indicate hypoglycemia, which requires immediate glucose
administration.
4. A postoperative patient develops sudden chest pain and dyspnea. What is
the nurse’s first action?
A. Administer morphine
B. Raise the head of the bed and apply oxygen
C. Obtain a chest X-ray
D. Encourage deep breathing
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Signs suggest pulmonary embolism. Oxygen and positioning are immediate
priorities.
5. Which laboratory result indicates acute kidney injury?
A. Creatinine 0.8 mg/dL
B. BUN 12 mg/dL
,C. Creatinine 2.5 mg/dL
D. Sodium 140 mmol/L
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Elevated creatinine indicates impaired renal filtration.
6. A patient with tuberculosis should be placed in which type of isolation?
A. Contact isolation
B. Droplet isolation
C. Airborne isolation
D. Protective isolation
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
TB spreads via airborne droplets requiring negative pressure room.
7. A nurse notes ST elevation on ECG. This indicates:
A. Hypokalemia
B. Myocardial infarction
C. Hypoglycemia
D. Pulmonary edema
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
ST elevation is a hallmark of acute myocardial infarction.
8. A patient is prescribed warfarin. Which food should be limited?
A. Apples
B. Spinach
, C. Rice
D. Chicken
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Leafy greens contain vitamin K which reduces warfarin effectiveness.
9. A patient is experiencing anaphylaxis. What is the priority drug?
A. Diphenhydramine
B. Epinephrine
C. Hydrocortisone
D. Salbutamol
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylactic shock.
10. A nurse is assessing dehydration. Which finding is expected?
A. Bradycardia
B. Bulging neck veins
C. Dry mucous membranes
D. Elevated blood pressure
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Dehydration causes dry mucosa, poor skin turgor, and hypotension.
11. A patient with COPD should receive oxygen at:
A. 1–2 L/min
B. 4–6 L/min
