NCLEX-PN Practice Quiz
Teaching the client with gonorrhea how to prevent reinfection and further spread is an example
of: - ANS-Secondary prevention - targets the reduction of disease prevalence and disease
morbidity through early diagnosis and treatment.
Which of the following foods is a complete protein? - ANS-Eggs - are a complete protein.
Broccoli, oranges, dark greens, and dark yellow vegetables can be eaten to: - ANS-Help
improve body defenses - Certain foods can help improve body defenses to possibly prevent
certain diseases.
The major electrolytes in the extracellular fluid are: - ANS-Sodium and chloride - major
electrolytes in the extracellular fluid.
Which of the following nursing diagnoses might be appropriate as Parkinsons disease
progresses and complications develop? - ANS-Impaired physical disease - can develop a
shuffling gait and rigidity.
Which of the following is an inappropriate item to include in planning care for a severely
neutropenic client? - ANS-Transfuse neutrophils (granulocytes) to prevent infection -
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, severly granulocytopenic clients (less than 500/mm3) who do
not respond to antibiotic therapy and who are expected to experience prolonged suppression of
granulocyte production.
A primary belief of psychiatric mental health nursing is: - ANS-Every person is worthy of dignity
and respect - Every person has the potential to change and grow. All people have basic human
needs in common with others. All behavior has meaning and can be understood from the clients
perspective.
A teenage client is admitted to the hospital because of acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose.
Overdoses of acetaminophen can precipitate life-threatening abnormalities in which of the
following organs? - ANS-Liver - acetaminophen is extensively metabolized in the liver.
All of the following factors, when identified in the history of a family, are correlated with poverty
except: - ANS-Low incidence of dental problems - prevalent because of the lack of preventive
care and access to care. High infant mortality is one of the most significant problems correlated
, with poverty. pregnant women who do not have access to care might come to the Emergency
Department when in labor. Those in poverty are likely to use Emergency Departments because
they may not be turned away. Those in poverty might also turn to folk healers or other persons
in their community for care who might be easier to access and might not demand payment.
Acyclovir is the drug of choice for: - ANS-HSV 1 and 2 and VZV - 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.
Ashley and her boyfriend Chris, both 19 years old, are transported to the Emergency
Department after being involved in a motorcycle accident. Chris is badly hurt, but Ashley has no
apparent injuries, though she appears confused and has trouble focusing on what is going on
around her. She complains of dizziness and nausea. Her pulse is rapid, and she is
hyperventilating. The nurse should assess Ashleys level of anxiety as: - ANS-Severe - unable
to solve problems and has a poor grasp of whats happening in his or her environment. Somatic
symptoms such as those described by Ashley are usually present. Vital sign changes are
observed. The individual with mild anxiety might report being mildly uncomfortable and might
even find performance enhanced. The individual with moderate anxiety grasps less information
about the situation, has some difficulty problem-solving, and might have mild changes in vital
signs. The individual in panic demonstrates markedly disturbed behavior and might lose touch
with reality.
Which of the following methods of contraception is able to reduce the transmission of HIV and
other STDs? - ANS-Vaginal sponge - barrier method of contraception that, when used with
foam or jelly contraception, reduces the transmission of HIV and other STDs as well as reducing
the risk of pregnancy. IUDs, Norplant, and oral contraceptives can prevent pregnancy but not
the transmission HIV and STDs.
Which fetal heart monitor pattern can indicate cord compression? - ANS-variable deceleration's
- can be related to cord compression.
The nurse teaching about preventable diseases should emphasize the importance of getting the
following vaccines: - ANS-Polio, pertussis, measles - vaccines are one of the most effective
methods of preventing and controlling certain communicable diseases. The smallpox vaccine is
not currently in use because the smallpox virus has been declared eradicated from the worlds
population. Diseases such as polio, diphtheria, pertussis, and measles are mostly controlled by
routine childhood immunization. They have not, however, been eradicated, so children need to
be immunized against these diseases.
Which of the following conditions is mammography used to detect? - ANS-tumor - detects
tumors or cysts in the breasts.
