Review Questions for the NCLEX® Examination
- A home health patient tells the nurse that she usually takes a particular medication only once daily instead of twice daily because of the constipation associated with that drug. The classification for this noncompliance is most likely:
- scheduling error.
- dosage error.
- error of commission.
- error of omission.
- The nurse is working with a child who does not have the required immunizations. The nurse should recognize that this is most likely due to:
- parents’ concerns about adverse effects.
- parents’ lack of education on the subject.
- reasons that are unknown by the nurse and need to be determined.
- parents’ concerns about cost of injections.
- A breastfeeding mother who takes a prescription drug is told the most appropriate time for her to take the medication to reduce the infant’s exposure to the drug is:
- right before a feeding.
- midway through a feeding.
- right after a feeding.
- 1 hour before a feeding.
- The nurse is selecting an intramuscular injection site for a 10-year-old child. The most appropriate site for this patient based on his age is:
- dorsogluteal.
- ventrogluteal.
- vastus lateralis.
- deltoid.
- The nurse is administering medication to a neonate. The nurse recognizes that the patient has a decreased ability to metabolize drugs primarily as a result of:
- slow clearance rates and prolonged half-lives.
- rapid clearance rates and prolonged half-lives.
- slow clearance rates and short half-lives.
- rapid clearance rates and short half-lives.
