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 A
A. Develop an elevated digitalis level
B. Have a decrease in the digitalis levels
C. Have alterations in sodium levels
D. Develop tachycardia
The client taking digitalis should avoid constipation because constipation can lead to digitalis toxicity. Answer B is incorrect because constipation will not lead to a decrease in the digitalis levels. Answer C is incorrect because constipation does not result in alterations in the sodium level. Answer D is incorrect because digitalis toxicity will result in brachycardia, not tachycardia.
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 B
A. A schizophrenic client having visual and auditory hallucinations and the client with ulcerative colitis
B. The client who is six months pregnant with abdominal pain and the client with facial lacerations and a broken arm
C. A child whose pupils are fixed and dilated and his parents and a client with a frontal head injury
D. The client who arrives with a large puncture wound to the abdomen and the client with chest pain
Out of all these clients, it is best to hold the pregnant client and the client with a broken arm and facial lacerations in the same room. The other clients need to be placed in separate rooms, so answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Phalen’s maneuver
B. Tinel’s sign
C. Chevotsky’s sign
D. Turner’s sign
This test is measured as described and can result in pain and a tingling sensation if the client has carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Answer A is incorrect because it is a test in which the client is asked to place the back of the hands together and flex the wrist at the same time causing pain. Answers C and D are exams not related to CTS, so they are incorrect.
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 A
A. Checking the client’s blood sugar
B. Administering intravenous dextrose
C. Intubation and ventilator support
D. Administering regular insulin
The client has symptoms of insulin shock and the first step is to check the client’s blood sugar. If indicated, the client should be treated with intravenous dextrose. Answer B is wrong because it is not the first step the nurse should take. Answer C is wrong because it does not apply to the client’s symptoms. Answer D is wrong because it would be used for diabetic ketoacidosis, not insulin shock.
The Correct Answer is Option C
To calculate for the volume dose:
Drug wanted / Drug on hand x volume = 8000 units / 10,000 units x 1mL = 0.8mL
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Weight loss
B. Decreased appetite
C. Hirsutism
D. Integumentary bronzing
Notice that the testing strategy “odd item out” can be used in this question. Answers A, B, and D are symptoms of Addison’s disease. Answer C is the answer that is different from the rest. Hirsutism, or facial hair, is a side effect of cortisone therapy.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate)
B. K-Dur (potassium chloride)
C. Cephulac (lactulose)
D. PhosLo (calcium acetate)
Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) is administered to lower potassium levels in the client with hyperkalemia. K-Dur is used for the client with hypokalemia; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Lactulose is used to lower ammonia levels in the client with liver disease; therefore, answer C is incorrect. PhosLo is used to lower phosphorus levels in the client with renal disease; therefore, Answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Acetylcysteine
B. Deferoxamine
C. Calcium disodium acetate
D. British anti-lewisite
Deferoxamine is the antidote for iron poisoning. Answer A is the antidote for acetaminophen overdose, making it wrong. Answers C and D are antidotes for lead poisoning, so they are wrong.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Dry the skin thoroughly and apply the cream
B. Use a vigorous circular motion to apply the cream
C. Apply the cream 2–3 minutes after the bath
D. Use the cream only if flaking of the skin is noted
The application of an emollient cream to the skin two or three minutes after bathing helps seal in moisture. Answers A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not facilitate rehydration of the skin.
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 Option C
A. Bowel sound auscultation
B. Pupillary response to light
C. Assessing for hematuria
D. Cranial nerve 8 assessment
The pelvis is close to major organs and the nurse needs to assess for damage to associated organs. The bladder could have been damaged and hematuria assessment would be a priority. Answers A, B, and D are important assessments, but are not the priority, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Hemarthrosis of the elbow
B. Bruise of the ankle
C. Bruise of the ankle
D. Unilateral numbness and lack of movement of arm
The neurological symptoms could mean an intracranial bleed has occurred. The answers in A, B, and C are reasons for concern, but they are not the priority, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Culture
B. VDRL
C. RPR
D. FTA-ABS
The fluorescent treponemal antibody test (FTA-ABS) is most diagnostic for syphilis. Answer A is incorrect because a culture of the discharge is used to diagnose gonorrhea, not syphilis. Answers B and C are incorrect because they are screening tests and are not as diagnostic as the FTA-ABS is.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Urinary output
B. Respirations
C. Temperature
D. Verbal responsiveness
Answer B is correct. Barbiturate overdose results in central nervous system depression, which leads to respiratory failure. Answers A and C are important to the client’s overall condition but are not specific to the question, so they are incorrect. The use of barbiturates results in slow, slurred speech, so answer D is expected, and therefore incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. “I need to avoid certain foods and drinks to prevent an increase in blood pressure.”
B. “I will schedule an appointment each month to have my blood level checked.”
C. “I will use hard candy or gum to keep my mouth from feeling too dry.”
D. “I will need to take my medicine before meals to improve its effect.”
Dry mouth is a common side effect of antidepressant medications. Using hard candy or gum helps to prevent mouth dryness. Answer A is incorrect because it refers to treatment with MAOI. Answer B is incorrect because it refers to treatment with lithium. Answer D is incorrect because taking the medication with food enhances the absorption rate of the medication.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Severe headache
B. Slight nausea
C. Decreased urination
D. Itching
A severe headache can indicate impending seizure activity. Slight nausea is expected when beginning the therapy, so answer B is incorrect. A client with renal failure already has itching and decreased urination, so answers C and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Insulin
B. Inderal (propanolol)
C. Lasix (furosemide)
D. Valium (diazepam)
Lasix is a non–potassium-sparing diuretic. This drug can potentiate fluid volume deficit. Answer A is incorrect because insulin will force fluid back into the cell and will not increase fluid volume deficit. Answer B is incorrect because Inderal (propanolol) is a beta-blocker used for the treatment of hypertension and cardiac disease. Inderal does not potentiate diuresis. Answer D is incorrect because Valium (diazepam) is a phenothiazine used as an anti-anxiety medication. This drug does not potentiate fluid volume deficit.
The Correct Answer is Option A, Option B, Option C
A. CVAD dressing
B. TPN changing
C. VAC dressing
D. drainage of urinary catheter
Answer: A, B, C
Procedures 1,2,3 require a high level of ANTT. CVAD dressing and TPN change are crucial procedures as this goes to the central vein. VAC dressing is a complex dressing.
Drainage of urinary catheterization requires PPE to protect a health practitioner from splashes, but not asepsis. Insertion of urinary catheter
