Q1.
A nurse is reviewing a new prescription for a client with heart failure. Which finding
requires the nurse to withhold the medication and contact the provider?
A. Heart rate 58 bpm B. Potassium 5.8 mEq/L
C. Blood pressure 108/70 mm Hg D. Weight loss of 0.5 kg since yesterday
Correct: B - Potassium 5.8 mEq/L
Rationale:Potassium 5.8 mEq/L is above the therapeutic range and increases risk for
dysrhythmias, especially with RAAS inhibitors or potassium-sparing diuretics; the drug should
be held and the provider notified. Heart rate 58, BP 108/70, and modest weight loss are not
absolute contraindications and may be expected.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. A heart rate of 58 bpm is mildly low but not typically a reason to withhold unless
symptomatic.
C. BP 108/70 is low-normal and does not independently require holding the medication.
D. Weight loss of 0.5 kg suggests diuresis is working and is not a reason to withhold.
Reference: Lehne, R.A. (2026). Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 12th Ed., Ch. 45
Q2.
A community health nurse is planning a program to reduce hypertension disparities.
Which action best reflects the principle of cultural humility?
A. Providing standard educational B. Partnering with community leaders to
pamphlets in English only co-design interventions
C. Using a fixed curriculum developed at the D. Focusing solely on medication adherence
national level without addressing social determinants
Correct: B - Partnering with community leaders to co-design interventions
Rationale:Cultural humility involves recognizing power imbalances and collaborating with the
community to tailor interventions, which improves trust and outcomes. Standard English
pamphlets, a fixed curriculum, and ignoring social determinants fail to respect cultural context
and community strengths.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. English-only materials exclude non-English speakers and reflect cultural imposition.
C. A fixed national curriculum may not fit local cultural norms or needs.
D. Ignoring social determinants misses root causes of disparities and is not culturally humble.

Q3.
Which statement by a new nurse indicates correct understanding of the SBAR
communication tool?
A. "I should start with my recommendation, B. "I should state the situation, background,
then give background." assessment, and recommendation."
C. "SBAR is only used during hand-off at D. "I can skip the assessment if I am in a
shift change." hurry."
Correct: B - "I should state the situation, background, assessment, and recommendation."
Rationale:SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation, and is
used for structured communication in any urgent or routine provider interaction. Starting with
recommendation, limiting to hand-off, or skipping assessment undermines the tool's purpose.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Recommendation comes last, not first, in the SBAR sequence.
C. SBAR is used for any critical communication, not only shift hand-off.
D. The assessment component is essential to convey clinical judgment.

Q4.
A nurse is caring for a client receiving mechanical ventilation. Which assessment finding
is the earliest indicator of increased intracranial pressure?
A. Decreased level of consciousness B. Fixed dilated pupils
C. Cushing's triad D. Decerebrate posturing
Correct: A - Decreased level of consciousness
Rationale:A change in level of consciousness is the earliest and most sensitive indicator of
increasing ICP. Fixed dilated pupils, Cushing's triad, and decerebrate posturing are late signs
indicating significant herniation risk.
Why the other answers are wrong:
B. Fixed dilated pupils are a late sign of brainstem compression.
C. Cushing's triad (hypertension, bradycardia, irregular respirations) is a late sign.
D. Decerebrate posturing indicates severe brainstem dysfunction and is late.
