,Section A - Finding
Q1.
In a pregnant patient with preeclampsia and a platelet count of 90,000/mm³, which
medication administration route is most concerning given the risk of hemorrhage?
A. Intramuscular magnesium sulfate B. Oral labetalol
C. Intravenous hydralazine D. Subcutaneous heparin
Correct: A - Intramuscular magnesium sulfate
Rationale:Intramuscular injections are contraindicated in thrombocytopenia due to bleeding
risk. The correct answer is A. Oral and IV routes are safer; heparin would exacerbate
bleeding but is not given IM.
Q2.
Which finding in a postpartum patient on the second day after cesarean birth suggests a
developing wound infection rather than normal healing?
A. Serosanguineous drainage from the B. Temperature of 38.0°C (100.4°F) with
incision localized erythema
C. Incisional pain rated 4/10 on movement D. Scant, odorless discharge from the
wound
Correct: B - Temperature of 38.0°C (100.4°F) with localized erythema
Rationale:A temperature above 38°C after the first 24 hours, especially with erythema,
indicates infection. Serosanguineous drainage and pain are expected. The correct answer is
B.
Q3.
A nurse is interpreting a fetal heart rate tracing. Which pattern indicates normal fetal
acid-base status?
A. Moderate variability, accelerations B. Late decelerations with minimal variability
present
C. Variable decelerations with fetal D. Prolonged deceleration with absent
bradycardia variability
Correct: A - Moderate variability, accelerations present
Page 3
, Section A - Finding
Rationale: Moderate variability and accelerations are reassuring signs of fetal oxygenation.
Late decelerations, variable decelerations with bradycardia, and prolonged decelerations are
non-reassuring. The correct answer is A.
Q4.
Which assessment finding in a neonate at 36 weeks gestation is most indicative of
respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) rather than transient tachypnea of the newborn
(TTN)?
A. Expiratory grunting and nasal flaring B. Mild tachypnea with oxygen saturation of
95% on room air
C. Coarse breath sounds with occasional D. Increased respiratory rate that resolves
cough within 24 hours
Correct: A - Expiratory grunting and nasal flaring
Rationale:Expiratory grunting and nasal flaring are classic signs of RDS due to surfactant
deficiency. TTN typically presents with mild tachypnea and resolves quickly. The correct
answer is A.
Q5.
A child with a chronic respiratory condition is prescribed a leukotriene receptor
antagonist. Which medication is this?
A. Montelukast B. Albuterol
C. Fluticasone D. Ipratropium
Correct: A - Montelukast
Rationale:Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for asthma prophylaxis.
Albuterol is a beta-agonist, fluticasone is a corticosteroid, and ipratropium is an
anticholinergic. The correct answer is A.
Q6.
Which laboratory value is most critical to monitor in a child receiving intravenous
amphotericin B for a systemic fungal infection?
A. Serum creatinine B. Hemoglobin
C. Serum glucose D. White blood cell count
Correct: A - Serum creatinine
