Q1.
A practical nurse is reviewing the electronic health record of a client with heart failure and
notes the latest laboratory results: potassium 5.8 mEq/L, BUN 42 mg/dL, creatinine 2.1
mg/dL, and digoxin level 2.4 ng/mL. Which assessment finding is most critical to report
immediately?


A. Blood pressure 110/70 mmHg B. Heart rate 48 bpm and irregular

C. Respiratory rate 18/min D. Temperature 37.2°C (99°F)
Correct: B - Heart rate 48 bpm and irregular


Rationale:The client has hyperkalemia (5.8) and a toxic digoxin level (2.4), which can cause
severe bradycardia and heart block. A heart rate of 48 bpm and irregular is a life-threatening
manifestation of digoxin toxicity, requiring immediate intervention. The other vital signs are
within normal limits and do not indicate acute decompensation.

Q2.
A client with a pneumothorax has a chest tube attached to a water-seal drainage system.
The nurse notes continuous bubbling in the water-seal chamber and the client reports
increased shortness of breath. What is the priority nursing action?


A. Clamp the chest tube immediately B. Milk the tubing to dislodge clots

C. Assess the chest tube system for an air D. Increase the suction pressure to -25 cm
leak H2O
Correct: C - Assess the chest tube system for an air leak


Rationale:Continuous bubbling in the water-seal chamber indicates an air leak, which can
worsen the pneumothorax and cause increased dyspnea. The nurse must assess the system
for leaks (e.g., loose connections, dislodged tube) and intervene appropriately. Clamping is
contraindicated in an active air leak; milking is not indicated; increasing suction does not fix a
leak.

Q3.
A client is receiving a continuous IV infusion of heparin at 1200 units/hr. The current aPTT
is 92 seconds. According to the facility's nomogram, the infusion should be decreased by
100 units/hr. The pharmacy supplies heparin 25,000 units in 500 mL of 0.9% sodium

chloride. What is the new infusion rate in mL/hr?



A. 18 mL/hr B. 20 mL/hr

C. 22 mL/hr D. 24 mL/hr
Correct: C - 22 mL/hr


Rationale:First, calculate concentration: 25,000 units/500 mL = 50 units/mL. New dose: 1200
- 100 = 1100 units/hr. Rate = 1100 units/hr ÷ 50 units/mL = 22 mL/hr. Other options represent
miscalculations (e.g., using the original dose or incorrect concentration).

Q4.
During a home visit, a practical nurse is assessing a client with Parkinson's disease who
is prescribed levodopa-carbidopa. The client reports worsening tremors and stiffness over
the past week. Which factor in the client's history most likely explains this change?


A. Increased intake of dietary protein B. Taking the medication with orange juice

C. Using an over-the-counter antacid D. Splitting the medication dose into smaller,
more frequent doses
Correct: A - Increased intake of dietary protein


Rationale:High-protein meals compete with levodopa for absorption across the blood-brain
barrier, reducing its effectiveness and worsening symptoms. Vitamin B6 (found in orange
juice) does not significantly affect carbidopa-containing preparations. Antacids may increase
absorption but not worsen symptoms. Splitting doses is a common strategy to manage
wearing-off and would not cause worsening.

Q5.
A practical nurse is caring for a client in the postpartum unit who had a vaginal delivery 12
hours ago. The client's fundus is firm, at the umbilicus, and deviated to the right. The
client reports moderate lochia rubra and difficulty voiding. Which action should the nurse
take first?


A. Massage the fundus vigorously B. Administer methylergonovine 0.2 mg IM

C. Assist the client to the bathroom and D. Document the findings as normal
encourage voiding
Correct: C - Assist the client to the bathroom and encourage voiding


Rationale:A distended bladder displaces the uterus to the right and can cause increased
bleeding. The priority is to assist the client to void, which will allow the uterus to return to
midline and contract properly. Massaging a firm fundus is not indicated; methylergonovine is
for uterine atony, not bladder distension; documenting without intervention is inappropriate.
