Q1.
A nurse is preparing to administer intravenous potassium chloride. Which action best
reflects safe practice consistent with current guidelines?
A. Administer the KCl as a rapid IV push to B. Verify the concentration and infusion rate,
correct hypokalemia quickly. and administer via an infusion pump with
cardiac monitoring.
C. Add KCl to a bag of packed red blood D. Withhold cardiac monitoring since KCl is
cells for concurrent transfusion. a routine electrolyte replacement.
Correct: B - Verify the concentration and infusion rate, and administer via an infusion
pump with cardiac monitoring.
Rationale:IV KCl must be diluted, infused via pump at a controlled rate (typically "d10 mEq/hr
peripherally), and accompanied by cardiac monitoring because rapid infusion risks fatal
arrhythmias. Push administration, co-administration with blood products, and omitting
monitoring are all unsafe practices.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. IV KCl must never be given as a bolus or push; rapid administration can cause cardiac
arrest.
C. Potassium chloride is incompatible with blood products and can cause hemolysis.
D. Cardiac monitoring is essential during KCl infusion because of the risk of arrhythmias.
Reference: Lehne, R.A. (2026). Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 12th Ed., Ch. 41.
Q2.
Which finding most strongly indicates that a client is experiencing an acute exacerbation
of heart failure rather than a stable chronic state?
A. New-onset paroxysmal nocturnal B. Stable 2+ pitting edema of the lower
dyspnea and orthopnea with weight gain. extremities.
C. Chronic dry cough with normal oxygen D. Baseline jugular venous distention of 3
saturation. cm.
Correct: A - New-onset paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and orthopnea with weight gain.
Rationale:Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, and rapid weight gain reflect acute fluid
overload and pulmonary congestion, hallmark signs of decompensated heart failure. The
other findings may be chronic and stable in a client with compensated HF.
Why the other answers are wrong:
B. Stable lower-extremity edema is a chronic finding, not necessarily an acute exacerbation.
C. A dry cough with normal SpO2 does not indicate acute decompensation.

D. Baseline JVD reflects chronic venous congestion rather than an acute change.

Nursing, 15th Ed., Ch. 29.
Q3.
A nurse is caring for a client receiving IV heparin. The aPTT is 110 seconds (control 30
seconds) and the client has new hematuria. Which action is priority?
A. Continue the infusion and recheck the B. Stop the heparin infusion and prepare to
aPTT in 6 hours. administer protamine sulfate.
C. Administer vitamin K subcutaneously. D. Increase the infusion rate to maintain
therapeutic anticoagulation.
Correct: B - Stop the heparin infusion and prepare to administer protamine sulfate.
Rationale:A markedly elevated aPTT with bleeding indicates heparin overdose; the infusion
must be stopped and protamine sulfate, the antidote, administered. Vitamin K reverses
warfarin, not heparin, and continuing or increasing the infusion would worsen bleeding.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Continuing the infusion while the client is bleeding risks severe hemorrhage.
C. Vitamin K is the antidote for warfarin, not heparin.
D. Increasing the rate would worsen the coagulopathy and bleeding.
Reference: Lehne, R.A. (2026). Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 12th Ed., Ch. 52.
Q4.
A client in the second stage of labor suddenly reports intense pain and the fetal heart rate
drops to 90 bpm. Which complication should the nurse suspect first?
A. Uterine hyperstimulation from oxytocin. B. Umbilical cord prolapse.
C. Placenta previa. D. Gestational hypertension.
Correct: B - Umbilical cord prolapse.
Rationale:Sudden severe pain with acute fetal bradycardia during labor suggests cord
prolapse, a true obstetric emergency requiring immediate repositioning and emergency
delivery. Cord prolapse compresses the cord, cutting off fetal oxygenation.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Uterine hyperstimulation typically causes tachysystole, not the abrupt pain pattern
described.
C. Placenta previa presents with painless vaginal bleeding, usually before labor.
D. Gestational hypertension does not typically cause acute intrapartum fetal bradycardia with
sudden pain.
