Welcome to the Demo Quiz! Below, you will find numerous sample questions. This demo quiz is set up with questions and the question's answer with Answer reason.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Call the board of nursing
B. File a formal reprimand and monitor the nurse
C. Terminate the nurse
D. Charge the nurse with a tort
The next action after discussing the problem with the nurse is to document the incident. If the behavior continues or if harm has resulted to the client, the nurse might be terminated and reported to the board of nursing, so answers A and C are incorrect. A tort is a wrongful act to the client or her belongings, so answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Continue to monitor the vital signs
B. Contact the physician
C. Ask the client how he feels
D. Ask the LPN to continue the postop care
The vital signs are abnormal and should be reported immediately. Continuing to monitor the vital signs can result in deterioration of the client’s condition, so answer A is incorrect. Asking the client how he feels would supply only subjective data, so answer C is incorrect. The LPN is not the best nurse to be assigned to this client because he is unstable, so answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. 1400
B. 1500
C. 1600
D. 1700
Blood must be finished within four hours of the start time. Answers in A, B, and C are before the 4-hour time limit, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Test the corneal reflexes.
B. Test the 6 cardinal positions of gaze.
C. Test visual acuity, using a Snellen eye chart.
D. Test sensory function by asking the client to close the eyes and then lightly touching the forehead, cheeks, and chin.
Testing the 6 cardinal positions of gaze (diagnostic positions test) is done to assess for muscle weakness in the eyes. The client is asked to hold the head steady, and then to follow the movement of an object through the positions of gaze. The client should follow the object in a parallel manner with the 2 eyes. A Snellen eye chart assesses visual acuity and cranial nerve II (optic). Testing sensory function by having the client close his or her eyes and then lightly touching areas of the face and testing the corneal reflexes assess cranial nerve V (trigeminal).
The Correct Answer is Option B
Volume of water to add (mL) = total volume of formula on hand (mL) – total volume of formula on hand (mL)
Diluted strength
mL water = (240mL / 1/3) – 240mL = (240mL x 3) – 240mL = 720mL – 240mL = 480mL
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Lying on a firm surface that does not distribute weight
B. Resting in a semi-sitting position that allows gradual downward movement
C. Rubbing or irritating the skin so that epithelial cells are removed
D. Compression of blood vessels that leads to ischemia, inflammation, and tissue necrosis
Shear or shearing forces occur whenever the skin is stationary while tissues below the skin are able to shift or move. Answers A and D are incorrect because they describe the physical force of pressure. Answer C refers to friction; therefore, it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Instruct the aggressive patient to help you with ambulating the bedridden patient
B. Instruct the ambulant patient to assist the 78-year-old in the evacuation process while you seek help in evacuating the bedridden patient
C. Call the switchboard for help in the evacuation
D. Tell everyone the building is on fire and that all take the fire exit
Ambulant patients can assist semi ambulant patients in case of emergency. Take the full dependent and aggressive patients last. There is no point in asking the switchboard as the alarm has been activated. The fire warden is in charge of instructing all people in the building, no the nurse.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Celestone
B. Dopamine
C. Serotonin
D. Anti-diuretic hormone
The neurotransmitter dopamine is missing in clients with Parkinson’s disease. Most of the treatment involves replacement of this drug. Answer A is a steroid. Answer C is a neurotransmitter not missing in Parkinson’s disease, and Answer D is secreted by the pituitary gland not related to the stated diagnosis; therefore Answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Take the medication before arising
B. Force fluids while taking this medication
C. Remain upright for 30 minutes after taking this medication
D. Take the medication in conjunction with estrogen
Alendronate sodium is a drug used to treat osteoporosis. Let’s use testing strategies for this question. Look at answers A and C; these are opposites. When you are in the bed, you are lying down. The drug should not be given while lying down, nor should it be taken with medication or with estrogen. In answer C, you are upright. This drug causes gastric reflux, so you should remain upright and take it with only water. Notice the clue in the name of the drug: fosa, as in fossils. All the drugs in this category contain the syllable dronate.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Notify the physician
B. Remove the weight to release the pressure on the pin
C. Reposition the client to the supine position
D. Try to remove the pin for examination
The nurse should notify the physician so that the pin can be repaired. Answers B and D are actions that can have negative results on the bone healing process, so they are incorrect. Answer C will not help, so it is wrong.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Amenorrhea
B. Headache
C. Blurred vision
D. Weight loss
Prolactinoma tumors are tumors arising from hyperplasia of the pituitary gland that are prolactin hormone–based. Amenorrhea and anovulation are associated with prolactinomas because the pituitary gland assists with stimulation of the ovaries and ovulation, so answer A is correct. Because the pituitary is located in the center of the skull, adjacent to the brain, answers B and C are associated with increased intracranial pressure. Answer D is incorrect because weight gain can occur, not weight loss.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Webbed neckWebbed neck
B. High arched palate
C. Scaphoid abdomen
D. Low-set ears
Structural anomalies in the infant with polycystic kidney disease include low-set ears, pointed nose, and small chin. Answers A, B, and C are not associated with polycystic kidney disease; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Vaccination with a live virus
B. Weakened immune system
C. Inoculation with BCG vaccine
D. Poor testing technique
Inoculation with BCG vaccine will produce a false positive TB skin test. Vaccination with a live virus, weakened immune system, and poor testing technique are factors that can produce a false negative TB skin test, therefore Answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Waterpik
B. Wire cutter
C. Humidifier
D. Oral rinse
Wire cutters must be at the bedside at all times to decrease the risk of aspiration with vomiting. Answers A and D are usually used in the care of clients with a fractured mandible, but are not as essential as the wire cutters, so they are incorrect. The answer in C is not a usual piece of equipment for clients with fractured mandibles, so it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. An internal fetal heart monitor
B. An IV rate controller
C. A blood administration set
D. A wall suction device
An IV rate controller must be obtained in order to safely administer magnesium sulfate. If magnesium sulfate is administered too quickly, toxicity can result, leading to respiratory arrest. Answer A is incorrect because there is no need to insert an internal fetal monitor. If magnesium sulfate is administered to the pregnant client, an external fetal monitor is sufficient. Answer C is incorrect because a standard IV administration set is used. Answer D is incorrect because there is no specific need for wall suction to be available with the administration of magnesium sulfate.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Anorexia
B. Difficulty swallowing
C. Hirsutism
D. Hot flashes
Hirsutism is facial hair. This is associated with hypersecretion of cortisol. Answers A, B, and D are not associated with Cushing’s disease.
The Correct Answer is Option B
Convert weight from pounds to kilograms (32lbs/2.2lbs) and multiply by required dose (20ml/kg) multiplied by drop factor (10drops/ml) over the required time of 60minutes.
32 lbs x kg x 20mL x 10drops
2.2lbs kg ml
___________________________ = 48.4848485 = 48 drops/minute (rounded off to whole number)
60 minutes
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Dry mouth
B. Palpitations
C. Hyperglycemia
D. Anemia
Side effects from bronchodilators such as theophylline include tremulousness, palpitations, and restlessness. Answers A, C, and D are incorrect because they are not expected side effects of bronchodilators.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Third
B. Fifth
C. Seventh
D. Ninth
Damage to the seventh cranial nerve (facial nerve) might occur during a stapedectomy. Changes in facial sensation should be reported to the doctor. Stapedectomy complications do not include damage to the third, fifth, or ninth cranial nerves; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
