Q1.
A patient with type 2 diabetes is prescribed metformin 1000 mg twice daily. Which
concurrent medication, if initiated, would most likely necessitate a dose adjustment or
increased monitoring due to a pharmacokinetic interaction?
A. Ibuprofen (NSAID) B. Cimetidine (H2 blocker)
C. Sertraline (SSRI) D. Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker)
Correct: B - Cimetidine (H2 blocker)
Rationale:Cimetidine inhibits renal tubular secretion of creatinine and organic cations, which
can reduce metformin clearance, increasing the risk of lactic acidosis. Ibuprofen may affect
renal function but not primarily via the same transporter; sertraline and amlodipine have
minimal interaction with metformin.
Q2.
An adult patient presents with confusion, tachycardia, and blood pressure of 80/50 mm
Hg. Which laboratory value, if present, would most strongly indicate a diagnosis of septic
shock rather than hypovolemic shock?
A. Serum lactate 6 mmol/L B. Hematocrit 55%
C. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 45 mg/dL D. White blood cell count 4,000/mm³
Correct: A - Serum lactate 6 mmol/L
Rationale:Elevated lactate in the context of suspected infection indicates tissue
hypoperfusion and supports septic shock. Hypovolemic shock may also elevate lactate but is
typically associated with hemoconcentration (elevated hematocrit) and prerenal azotemia;
leukopenia can occur in sepsis but is not as specific as lactate in identifying septic shock.
Q3.
A nurse is assessing a patient with suspected compartment syndrome. Which finding
would be considered an early and reliable indicator of this condition?
A. Absent distal pulse B. Pain with passive stretch of the affected
muscle

NGN Preparation Graduate / Advanced Undergraduate Senior-level Pre-licensure Nursing
C. Visible deformity of the extremity D. Skin pallor and coolness
Correct: B - Pain with passive stretch of the affected muscle
Rationale:Pain with passive stretch is an early sign of compartment syndrome, as it indicates
muscle ischemia. Absent pulses and pallor are late findings; deformity is not specific to
compartment syndrome.
Q4.
A patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4 has a serum potassium of 5.8 mEq/L.
Which electrocardiographic change would be most consistent with this potassium level?
A. Prolonged PR interval B. Peaked T waves
C. ST-segment depression D. Prominent U waves
Correct: B - Peaked T waves
Rationale:Hyperkalemia (K+ >5.5) classically causes peaked T waves. Prolonged PR interval
and ST depression are seen with hypokalemia; U waves are associated with hypokalemia as
well.
Q5.
A nurse is providing teaching to a patient who is starting warfarin therapy. Which
statement indicates a need for further teaching?
A. I will avoid taking aspirin unless my B. I will eat a consistent amount of green
provider approves it. leafy vegetables.
C. I will take my warfarin at the same time D. I will use a razor with a safety guard to
each day. shave.
Correct: B - I will eat a consistent amount of green leafy vegetables.
Rationale:Consistent intake of vitamin K is important, but the statement should emphasize
maintaining a consistent amount, not necessarily avoiding or increasing. The other
statements are correct: aspirin increases bleeding risk, timing is crucial, and safety razors
minimize cuts.
Q6.
A patient is receiving an IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride at 150 mL/hr. Which
assessment finding would most likely indicate fluid volume overload?
A. Increased urine specific gravity B. Decreased blood pressure
C. Presence of crackles in lung bases D. Increased hematocrit
