Sample questions

Q1. A patient is brought to the emergency department by his brother. The patient is perspiring profusely, breathing rapidly, and complaining of dizziness and palpitations. Problems of a cardiovascular nature are ruled out, and the patient's diagnosis is tentatively listed as a panic attack. After the symptoms pass, the patient states, "I thought I was going to die." Which of these responses by the nurse is best?

  1. "I would have felt the same way."
  2. "We would not have let you die."
  3. "It was very frightening for you."
  4. "But you're okay now."
Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. "It was very frightening for you."

The nurse responds with the statement, "It was very frightening for you," to express empathy, thus acknowledging the patient's discomfort and accepting his feelings. The nurse conveys respect and validates the patient's self-worth. The other statements do not focus on the patient's underlying feelings, convey active listening, or promote trust.

Q2. Antipsychotics reduce psychotic symptoms by blocking receptors of:

  1. Norepinephrine
  2. Dopamine
  3. GABA
  4. Acetylcholine
Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. Dopamine

Antipsychotics – action – block selected dopamine receptors, which lowers dopamine activity and reduces psychotic symptoms.

Q3. A patient in the prenatal clinic is assessed to have a blood pressure of 180/96. The nurse should give priority to:

  1. Providing a calm environment
  2. Obtaining a diet history
  3. Administering an analgesic
  4. Assessing fetal heart tones
Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. Providing a calm environment

is correct. A calm environment is needed to prevent seizure activity. Any stimulation can precipitate seizures. Obtaining a diet history should be done later, and administering an analgesic is not indicated because there is no data in the stem to indicate pain. Therefore, answers B and C are incorrect. Assessing the fetal heart tones is important, but this is not the highest priority in this situation as stated in answer D.

Q4. The nurse is assessing a middle-age patient with cancer who has lost 1 lb (0.5 kg) in 4 weeks. The patient is taking ondansetron for nausea and now has a temperature of 101°F (38.3°C). The nurse judges that the fever is a sign of what?

  1. New resistance to current antiemetic therapy
  2. Inadequate nutrition
  3. Expected response to chemotherapy treatment
  4. Infection
Show answer and explanation

Answer: D. Infection

Fever is most commonly related to infection. In a patient with neutropenia, fever frequently occurs in the absence of the usual clinical signs and symptoms of infection. Inadequate nutrition or antiemetic therapy resistance would not result in fever. Fever is not usually expected with most chemotherapy drugs.

Q5. During assessment of a patient admitted to the hospital with an acute exacerbation of MS, what should the nurse expect to find?

  1. Bowel and bladder incontinence and loss of memory
  2. Excessive involuntary movements, hearing loss, and ataxia 392
  3. Motor impairment, visual disturbances, and paresthesias
  4. Tremors, dysphasia, and ptosis
Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Motor impairment, visual disturbances, and paresthesias

Specific neurologic dysfunction of MS is caused by destruction of myelin and replacement with glial scar tissue at specific areas in the nervous system. Motor, sensory, cerebellar, and 655 emotional dysfunctions, including paresthesias as well as patchy blindness, blurred vision, pain radiating along the dermatome of the nerve, ataxia, and severe fatigue, are the most common manifestations of MS. Constipation and bladder dysfunctions, short-term memory loss, sexual dysfunction, anger, and depression or euphoria may also occur. Excessive involuntary movements and tremors are not seen in MS.
