Q1.
A nurse is preparing to administer a continuous IV infusion of heparin at 1200 units/hr.
The available bag is 25,000 units in 500 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride. The nurse should set
the pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round to the nearest whole number.)
A. 24 mL/hr B. 20 mL/hr
C. 30 mL/hr D. 48 mL/hr
Correct: A - 24 mL/hr
Rationale:To calculate the rate: (1200 units/hr) / (25,000 units/500 mL) = = 24
mL/hr. Option B is 1000 units/hr, C is 1500 units/hr, and D is 2400 units/hr, all incorrect.
Q2.
In a patient with diabetes insipidus, the nurse anticipates which fluid and electrolyte
imbalance?
A. Hypernatremia and hypovolemia B. Hyponatremia and hypervolemia
C. Hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis D. Hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia
Correct: A - Hypernatremia and hypovolemia
Rationale:Diabetes insipidus causes excessive water loss through dilute urine, leading to
increased serum sodium (hypernatremia) and decreased blood volume (hypovolemia). Option
B is seen in SIADH, C in renal failure, D in hypoparathyroidism.
Q3.
A nurse is teaching a patient about a low-fiber diet. Which food item should the nurse
instruct the patient to avoid?
A. White rice B. Canned peaches
C. Dried beans D. Skinless chicken
Correct: C - Dried beans

following should the nurse offer?
A. Skim milk B. Orange juice with pulp

indicates a hemolytic transfusion reaction?
A. Fever and low back pain B. Urticaria and pruritus
C. Wheezing and dyspnea D. Facial flushing and headache
Correct: A - Fever and low back pain
Rationale:Hemolytic reactions occur due to ABO incompatibility, causing fever, chills, low
back pain, and hemoglobinuria. Urticaria suggests an allergic reaction; wheezing may indicate
anaphylaxis; flushing is non-specific.
Q6.
A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter. Which action demonstrates
proper sterile technique?
A. Open the sterile kit before donning sterile B. Place the catheter on the sterile field after
gloves cleaning the perineum
C. Hold the catheter with the dominant hand D. Use sterile gloves for the procedure, but
while separating the labia with the the field may be dry
non-dominant hand
Correct: C - Hold the catheter with the dominant hand while separating the labia with the
non-dominant hand
Rationale:The dominant hand remains sterile to insert the catheter while the non-dominant
hand, which is not sterile, separates the labia. The kit should be opened after sterile gloves
are applied? Actually, sterile gloves are applied after opening the kit, but the field must remain
sterile. Option C is correct because it maintains sterility of the dominant hand.
