PN Capstone Orientation ACTUAL EXAM 2026/2027 VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS PASS GUARANTEED - A+ GRADE, with the strongest emphasis placed on
Prioritize nursing interventions using Maslow's hierarchy and ABC-M frameworks, Analyze
laboratory and diagnostic data to guide safe clinical decisions and Apply pharmacological
principles to prevent adverse drug events and interactions. Every item follows the wording style
and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so
the correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own pace, mark the questions
that slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who
revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of
meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper
into a comfortable pass.

,Q1 PRIORITIZE NURSING INTERVENTIONS USING MASLOW'S HIERARCHY AND ABC-M
FRAMEWORKS
Which assessment finding most urgently requires the practical nurse to notify the
provider for a client receiving continuous heparin infusion?
A. Platelet count 110,000/mm³ with new petechiae CORRECT
B. aPTT 65 seconds (therapeutic range 1.5-2.5× control)
C. Hemoglobin 11.2 g/dL and hematocrit 34%
D. INR 1.1 with no signs of bleeding
RATIONALE: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening immune reaction
marked by a >50% platelet drop and thrombosis/bleeding; it mandates immediate heparin
discontinuation and provider notification. The other options represent therapeutic or expected
values without acute danger.
Q2 PRIORITIZE NURSING INTERVENTIONS USING MASLOW'S HIERARCHY AND ABC-M
FRAMEWORKS
A client with severe preeclampsia is receiving magnesium sulfate. Which finding
indicates magnesium toxicity requiring immediate intervention?
A. Deep tendon reflexes 1+ and urine output 20 mL/hr
B. Respiratory rate 10/min and absent deep tendon reflexes CORRECT
C. Blood pressure 148/92 mm Hg and headache
D. Serum magnesium level 5.5 mg/dL
RATIONALE: Magnesium toxicity first depresses deep tendon reflexes, then respirations; RR <12
and absent DTRs signal impending respiratory arrest requiring stop infusion and administer
calcium gluconate. The other findings are either expected or not indicative of toxicity.

, Q3 PRIORITIZE NURSING INTERVENTIONS USING MASLOW'S HIERARCHY AND ABC-M
FRAMEWORKS
Which action by the practical nurse best demonstrates correct use of the SBAR
communication tool when reporting a client's deteriorating condition?
A. Stating the client's name, room number, and diagnosis before describing the current vital
signs
B. Providing a concise summary of the situation, background, assessment, and a specific
recommendation CORRECT
C. Documenting the full shift assessment in the electronic record before calling the provider
D. Delegating the call to the unlicensed assistive personnel to save time
RATIONALE: SBAR structures communication as Situation, Background, Assessment, and
Recommendation, ensuring concise, complete handoff. Option A omits
assessment/recommendation; C delays care; D exceeds UAP scope.
Q4 PRIORITIZE NURSING INTERVENTIONS USING MASLOW'S HIERARCHY AND ABC-M
FRAMEWORKS
A client is prescribed digoxin and furosemide. Which assessment finding most
suggests digoxin toxicity?
A. Heart rate 58 beats/min and nausea with visual halos CORRECT
B. Blood pressure 118/76 mm Hg and dry mouth
C. Serum potassium 3.8 mEq/L and constipation
D. Weight loss of 1 kg since admission
RATIONALE: Digoxin toxicity classically presents with bradycardia, nausea, and visual
disturbances (halos, yellow-green tint), often potentiated by furosemide-induced hypokalemia.
The other options are not typical toxicity indicators.
