Q1.
A nurse is preparing to administer a scheduled dose of IV vancomycin when the patient
reports new-onset flushing, pruritus, and hypotension during the infusion. Which action
should the nurse take first?
A. Stop the infusion immediately and assess B. Slow the infusion rate and administer
the patient's airway and vital signs. diphenhydramine as ordered.
C. Continue the infusion while obtaining a D. Discontinue the IV line and initiate a rapid
serum vancomycin trough level. fluid bolus with normal saline.
Correct: A - Stop the infusion immediately and assess the patient's airway and vital signs.
Rationale:Vancomycin infusion reaction (formerly known as red man syndrome) is a
histamine-mediated reaction; stopping the infusion and assessing airway/vitals is the priority
to prevent anaphylaxis. Slowing the rate and giving antihistamines may be appropriate after
initial stabilization, but not before ensuring safety. Continuing the infusion or giving a fluid
bolus without stopping the drug ignores the immediate risk.
Q2.
A nurse assesses a patient with a new colostomy. Which finding requires immediate
intervention?
A. Stoma is pink and moist with slight B. Stoma is dusky and cyanotic with absent
edema. bowel sounds.
C. Effluent is liquid and greenish within 24 D. Patient reports mild cramping after
hours post-op. eating.
Correct: B - Stoma is dusky and cyanotic with absent bowel sounds.
Rationale:A dusky or cyanotic stoma indicates ischemia and possible necrosis, requiring
immediate notification of the surgeon. Pink, moist stoma with mild edema is normal post-op.
Liquid green effluent and mild cramping are expected as bowel function returns.
Q3.
A nurse is calculating the dose of a high-alert medication for a patient. Which action best
reflects the nurse's understanding of safe medication administration?

A. Verify the calculation with a second nurse B. Administer the medication quickly to
and use an independent double-check. avoid delaying the patient's treatment.
C. Round the calculated dose to the nearest D. Document the dose before administration
whole number for ease of measurement. to save time.
Correct: A - Verify the calculation with a second nurse and use an independent
double-check.
Rationale:High-alert medications require an independent double-check by a second nurse to
prevent errors. Rushing, rounding doses without verification, or documenting before
administration violates the rights of medication administration and increases risk of harm.
Q4.
A nurse is caring for a patient with a new prescription for oxygen therapy. Which
assessment finding indicates the need to withhold the oxygen and notify the provider?
A. Respiratory rate 28 breaths/min and B. Patient has a history of COPD and SpO2
SpO2 88% on room air. 90% on room air.
C. Patient reports shortness of breath and D. Patient's oxygen saturation is 95% on
has crackles in lung bases. room air and reports no dyspnea.
Correct: D - Patient's oxygen saturation is 95% on room air and reports no dyspnea.
Rationale:Oxygen is not indicated when SpO2 is 95% on room air and the patient is not
dyspneic; administering it unnecessarily can cause oxygen toxicity. The other options reflect
hypoxemia or respiratory distress that may warrant oxygen therapy per provider orders.
Q5.
A nurse is preparing to insert a urinary catheter using sterile technique. Which action
demonstrates a break in sterile technique?
A. The nurse opens the sterile kit and adds B. The nurse's sterile glove touches the
sterile supplies without touching the inner patient's pubic hair after cleansing.

C. The nurse uses a new sterile swab for D. The nurse maintains the drainage bag
each cleansing stroke downward. below the level of the bladder.
Correct: B - The nurse's sterile glove touches the patient's pubic hair after cleansing.
Rationale:Touching non-sterile areas such as pubic hair with a sterile glove contaminates the
glove and requires re-gloving or restarting the sterile field. The other actions are correct:
adding supplies without contamination, using separate swabs, and keeping the bag below
bladder level.
