Q1A patient post-gastrectomy develops diaphoresis, weakness, and diarrhea 30 minutes after eating. This is most likely:
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Dumping syndrome (early)
Early dumping syndrome occurs 15–30 minutes post-meal after gastrectomy; rapid gastric emptying causes fluid shift and vasomotor symptoms.
Q2A physician orders 1 L of 0.9% NaCl to infuse over 8 hours via a drip set that delivers 20 drops/mL. What is the drip rate in drops/minute?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: 42 gtts/min
Drip rate = (Volume in mL x Drop factor) / Time in minutes = (1000 x 20) / 480 = 20000 / 480 = 41.7 = 42 gtts/min.
Q3A patient with asthma uses a salbutamol (albuterol) inhaler. This drug acts primarily as a:
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Beta-2 adrenergic agonist causing bronchodilation
Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist that relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, causing rapid bronchodilation and relief of acute bronchospasm.
Q4A patient is started on warfarin therapy. Which lab value does the nurse monitor?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: PT/INR
Warfarin (a vitamin K antagonist) is monitored using Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR).
Q5Which assessment is MOST important before administering a patient's first dose of IV ampicillin?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Assess for penicillin allergy history
Ampicillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic; allergy assessment is mandatory before the first dose to prevent potentially fatal anaphylaxis.
Q6High-level disinfection (HLD) is appropriate for which category of medical equipment?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Semi-critical items that contact mucous membranes (e.g., endoscopes)
Spaulding classification: critical items require sterilization; semi-critical items (contact mucous membranes) require high-level disinfection; non-critical items require low-level disinfection.
Q7When using the two-patient identifier requirement for medication administration, which identifiers are MOST appropriate?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Patient name and date of birth (or medical record number)
The Joint Commission and WHO require at least two patient-specific identifiers; name and date of birth (or MRN) are most reliable; room and bed numbers are NOT acceptable identifiers.
Q8A patient is on furosemide (Lasix). The nurse should monitor for:
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Hypokalemia
Furosemide is a loop diuretic that causes loss of potassium in the urine, leading to hypokalemia.
Q9A nurse is teaching a patient about warfarin. Which statement by the patient indicates correct understanding?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: I will report any unusual bruising or prolonged bleeding to my doctor
Patients on warfarin must report unusual bleeding and avoid OTC NSAIDs/aspirin (increased bleeding risk); regular INR monitoring is essential.
Q10A patient with peptic ulcer disease asks the nurse which OTC pain reliever is SAFEST to use. The nurse recommends:
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Acetaminophen (paracetamol)
Acetaminophen does not inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in the GI mucosa and is safe for pain relief in peptic ulcer disease; NSAIDs and aspirin worsen mucosal damage.
