ANSWERS | COMPREHENSIVE NCLEX REVIEW 2026/2027
A nurse is caring for a client who has asthma and is taking fluticasone. The nurse should monitor the
client for which of the following adverse effects?
A) hypoglycemia
B) hypertension
C) polyuria
D) oral candidiasis - ANS ✔✔D) oral candidiasis
It can cause this or even thrust therefore the client should rinse her mouth with water. It can also cause
hyperglycemia
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who has asthma and is about to start taking
theophylline (Theo-24) The nurse should tell the client that this medication might cause which of the
following adverse effects?
A) drowsiness
B) constipation
C) Oliguria
D) tachycardia - ANS ✔✔D) tachycardia
This can increase cardiac stimulation
A nurse is providing discharge teaching's to a client who has a new prescription for home oxygen therapy
via nasal cannula. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply)
a) verify the oxygen flow rate every other day
B) check the cannula position on a regular basis
C) check the tops of the ears for skin breakdown
D) post no smoking signs in a prominent location in the home
E) apply petroleum appointment to nails if they become dry and irritated - ANS ✔✔B) check the cannula
position on a regular basis
C) check the tops of the ears for skin breakdown
,D) post no smoking signs in a prominent location in the home
The cannula position should be verified every eight hours or more often if needed. The tops of the years
the nears and nasal mucous membrane should be assessed regularly for skin breakdown. The family is
instructed to post no smoking signs in a prominent location in the home because oxygen increases the
risk for injuries. The rate of oxygen flow should be checked daily. And the client should use water-based
lubricant or Celine nasal spray to reduce dryness or irritation. Oxygen has a high combustion potential
and petroleum products are combustile
A nurse is providing education to a school age child who has a new diagnosis of asthma. Which of the
following statement should the nurse include in teaching?
A)take cromolyn sodium at the first sign of breathing difficulty
B) you should stop playing basketball but you can swim instead
C) use the peak expiratory flow meter once per week
D) avoid triggers that can cause an attack - ANS ✔✔D) avoid triggers that can cause an attack
The nurse should emphasize that the ability to prevent asthma attacks can be improved by avoiding
allergens that the child is sensitive to. Triggers can include animals, dust, certain foods, pollen, and grass.
Clients who have asthma manifestations throughout the year should receive allergy testing to determine
specific triggers. The child should use a peak expiratory flow meter once or twice per day participation of
sports is prohibited when asthma is not adequately controlled abutyryl should be used as a first sign of
asthma where chromolyn sodium is a mast cell stabilizer
A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure in histories of asthma. The nurse reviews the providers
orders and recognizes that a clarification is needed for which of the following medications?
A) carvediol
B) fluticasone
C) captipril
D) isosorbide dinitrate - ANS ✔✔A) carvediol
Medications that block beta-2 receptors are contraindicated in clients with asthma
A nurse in an urgent care center is caring for a client who has an acute asthma exacerbation. Which of
the following actions is the nurses highest priority?
A) initiating oxygen therapy
B) providing immediate rest for the client
, C) positioning the client in high Fowlers
D) administering a nebulized beta adrenergic - ANS ✔✔D) administering a nebulized beta adrenergic
Greatest risk to the client safety is airway obstruction. Beta adrenergic Medications act as bronchial
dilator's. They provide prompt relief to airway obstructing by relaxing bronchial are smooth muscles and
are the initial priority intervention when a client has an acute asthma exacerbation
A nurse is providing discharge teaching's to a client who requires home oxygen therapy. Which of the
following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs further teaching?
A) I will be able to tell how much oxygen I am getting by looking at the flowmeter
B) I should call my doctor if I find it hard to concentrate
C) I will make sure my visitor smoke outside
D) I will wear synthetic clothing and woolen socks when I use my oxygen - ANS ✔✔D) I will wear
synthetic clothing and woolen socks when I use my oxygen
Woolen in synthetic material can generate static electricity. Because oxygen is flammable gas, the client
should wear cotton clothing and use cotton blending in blankets
A nurse is preparing to measure a clients level of oxygen saturation and observes edema of both hands
and thickened toenails. The nurse should apply the pulse oximeter probe to which of the following
locations?
A) finger
B) earlobe
C) toe
D) skinfold - ANS ✔✔B) earlobe
The earlobe is rarely edematous and is less affected by decreased blood flow, and has greater accuracy
when measuring oxygen saturation
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia. The clients oxygen saturation is 85%. Which of the
following actions should the nurse take first?
A) administer oxygen 2 L per minute
B) administer prescribed analegestic medication
C) encourage coughing and deep breathing
D) raise the head of the bed - ANS ✔✔D) raise the head of the bed
