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. “I should report any blurred vision or headache.”
B. “I have to take folic acid with this drug.”
C. “I should expect results in six months.”
D. “I should take this medication on an empty stomach.”
Clients on Plaquenil should have eye exams every 6–12 months because it can cause retinal damage. Answers B and C are inaccurate statements for the drug Plaquenil, so they are incorrect. Answer D is incorrect because the medication should be taken with food or a snack.
The Correct Answer is Option C
Answer: C. A weight of 22.5 pounds is equal to 10.22 kilograms.
At 50 mg/kg, this child would need 511 milligrams of medication.
Using the formula:
Drug Desired / Drug Available x Volume = 511mg / 100mg x mL = 5.1 mL
At 100 mg/mL, the proper dose in milliliters is 5.1 milliliters.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Ancef (cefazolin sodium)
B. Cipro (ciprofloxacin)
C. Kantrex (kanamycin)
D. Garamycin (gentamicin)
Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is the drug of choice for treating anthrax. Answers A, C, and D are not used to treat anthrax, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Nitroprusside (Nipride)
B. Naloxone hydrochloride (Narcan)
C. Flumazenil (Romazicon)
D. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
The postoperative period, narcotics are given. Narcan is the antidote to narcotics, so answer B is correct. Nipride is utilized to lower blood pressure, so answer A is incorrect. Romazicon is the antidote for the benzodiazepines, so answer C is incorrect. Benadryl is an antihistamine, so answer D is 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 D
A. Droplet precautions
B. Airborne precautions
C. Contact precautions
D. No isolation precautions are needed
No isolation precautions are needed because there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission. Answers A, B, and C are incorrect because they are not indicated in the care of the client with Legionnaires’ disease.
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.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Eliminates the neurotransmitter acetylcholine
B. Increases the perception of external stimuli
C. Decreases levels of cortisol from the adrenal cortex
D. Produces a seizure that temporarily alters brain chemicals
Electroconvulsive therapy produces a tonic-clonic seizure that temporarily increases brain chemicals, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Answers A, B, and C are not true statements; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
Change 1 g to milligrams, knowing that 1000 mg =1 g.
Also, when converting from grams to milligrams (larger to smaller), move the decimal point three places to the right: 1 g = 1000 mg.
Next, use the formula for calculating the correct dose.
Formula: Desired / Available x Tablet = 1000 mg / 500 mg = 2 tablets
The Correct Answer is True
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 C
Volume of water to add (mL) = total volume of formula on hand (mL) – total volume of formula on hand (mL)
Diluted strength
mL water = (480mL / ½) – 480mL = (480mL x 2) – 480mL = 960mL – 480mL = 480mL
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 A
A. Metabolic acidosis
B. Metabolic alkalosis
C. Respiratory acidosis
D. Respiratory alkalosis
The client with internal bleeding will most likely have metabolic acidosis. The laboratory findings reflect this suspicion. The pH is down, the PaCO2 is down, and the HCO3 is down. Answers B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not consistent with the lab values given in the question.
The Correct Answer is Option A, Option B, Option D
A. Auscultating lung sounds
B. Obtaining the client’s temperature
C. Assessing the strength of peripheral pulses
D. Obtaining information about the client’s respirations
Answer: 1,2,4
A focused assessment focuses on a limited or short-term problem, such as the client’s complaint. Because the client is complaining of symptoms of a cold, a cough, and lung congestion, the nurse would focus on the respiratory system and the presence of an infection. A complete assessment includes a complete health history and physical examination and forms a baseline database. Assessing the strength of peripheral pulses relates to a vascular assessment, which is not related to this client’s complaints. A musculoskeletal and neurological examination also is not related to this client’s complaints. However, the strength of peripheral pulses and a musculoskeletal and neurological examination would be included in a complete assessment. Likewise, asking the client about a family history of any illness or disease would be included in a complete
assessment
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. Call for help.
B. Extinguish the fire.
C. Activate the fire alarm.
D. Confine the fire by closing the room door.
The order of priority in the event of a fire is to rescue the clients who are in immediate danger. The next step is to activate the fire alarm. The fire then is confined by closing all doors and, finally, the fire is extinguished.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Creatinine
B. Cortisol levels
C. Blood glucose
D. Liver profile
Terbutaline (Brethine) is a bronchodilator that can also relax smooth muscles. Brethine can cause elevations in blood glucose levels so the client should have blood glucose levels checked prior to beginning treatment with Brethine. Answers A, B, and D are not laboratory studies that are required prior to beginning Brethine.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Frontal lobe
B. Occipital lobe
C. Temporal lobe
D. Parietal lobe
Partial seizures usually originate in the temporal lobe, making Answers A, B, and D incorrect because partial seizures do not usually occur in the other lobes.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. The facility fails to provide literature in both Spanish and English.
B. The narcotic count has been incorrect on the unit for the past three days.
C. The client fails to receive an itemized account of his bills and services received during his hospital stay.
D. The nursing assistant assigned to the client with hepatitis fails to feed the client and give him a bath.
The accreditation committee of hospitals will probably be interested in the problems in answers A and C, so they are incorrect. The failure of the nursing assistant to assist the client with hepatitis should be reported to the charge nurse. If the behavior continues, termination can result, but it doesn’t need to be reported to the board, so answer 4 is incorrect. Option B is a reportable case to the board as this indicates malpractice to the nurses who have not reported a miscounted drug. This can also lead to an investigation as to why the count is incorrect. E.g, underdosing or overdosing a patient; a nurse deliberately stealing controlled medications.
