,300 HESI-Style Questions with Verified Answers
and Rationales
Q1. A client with heart failure is prescribed furosemide. Which laboratory value should
the nurse monitor most closely?
A A. Serum potassium
B B. Serum sodium
C C. Serum calcium
D D. Serum magnesium
Correct Answer: A. Serum potassium
Rationale: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause hypokalemia. The nurse should
monitor serum potassium closely and assess for signs of hypokalemia such as muscle
weakness and cardiac arrhythmias.
Why Wrong:
A. A: Correct – potassium is the most critical. B: Sodium may be affected but less critical.
C: Calcium is not primarily affected. D: Magnesium may be affected but less critical.

the NCLEX-RN Examination; HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination.
Q2. A client with COPD is receiving oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula. Which
assessment finding indicates that the oxygen flow rate may be too high?
A A. Respiratory rate of 22 breaths/min
B B. Oxygen saturation of 94%
C C. Client reports headache and confusion
D D. Client reports improved dyspnea
Correct Answer: C. Client reports headache and confusion
Rationale: In clients with COPD, high oxygen flow rates can cause hypoventilation and CO2
retention, leading to headache, confusion, and other signs of hypercapnia. Oxygen should
be titrated to maintain saturation of 88-92%.
Why Wrong:
, A. A: Respiratory rate of 22 is within normal range. B: 94% may be too high for COPD. C:
Correct – headache and confusion indicate CO2 retention. D: Improved dyspnea is a
desired effect.

the NCLEX-RN Examination; HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination.
Q3. A client with diabetes mellitus type 1 is experiencing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
A A. Administer insulin
B B. Start intravenous fluids
C C. Monitor blood glucose
D D. Assess potassium level
Correct Answer: B. Start intravenous fluids
Rationale: The first priority in DKA is to correct fluid volume deficit by starting intravenous
fluids. Insulin and electrolyte replacement follow fluid resuscitation. Fluid replacement helps
improve perfusion and reduce blood glucose.
Why Wrong:
A. A: Insulin is important but not the first intervention. B: Correct – fluid resuscitation is
the priority. C: Monitoring is ongoing. D: Potassium is monitored but not the first
intervention.

the NCLEX-RN Examination; HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination.
Q4. A client with a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is prescribed heparin therapy. Which
laboratory test should the nurse use to monitor the effectiveness of heparin?
A A. aPTT
B B. PT/INR
C C. Platelet count
D D. D-dimer
Correct Answer: A. aPTT
Rationale: The aPTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) is used to monitor heparin
therapy. The therapeutic range is 1.5 to 2.5 times the control value. PT/INR is used for
warfarin monitoring.
