2023,2024 AND 2025 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS

1. A nurse is teaching a client about the use of albuterol for asthma. Which of
the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
• a) "Use the inhaler 30 minutes before exercise."
• b) "Take this medication every 12 hours, even if you feel fine."
• c) "Use the inhaler every 4 hours for symptom relief."
• d) "If you experience a headache, stop using the inhaler immediately."
Answer: a) "Use the inhaler 30 minutes before exercise."
• Rationale: Albuterol is a short-acting beta agonist (SABA) used to relieve
bronchospasm in asthma. It is typically used 15 to 30 minutes before
exercise to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
2. A nurse is administering warfarin to a client. Which of the following
laboratory tests should the nurse monitor to evaluate the effectiveness of this
medication?
• a) Platelet count
• b) Prothrombin time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR)
• c) Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)
• d) Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels
Answer: b) Prothrombin time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR)

, • Rationale: Warfarin is an anticoagulant, and its effectiveness is monitored
using PT and INR. The INR is a standardized way to measure PT across
different laboratories.
3. A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin to a client. Before administering the
medication, the nurse should check which of the following?
• a) Blood pressure
• b) Heart rate
• c) Respiratory rate
• d) Oxygen saturation level
Answer: b) Heart rate
• Rationale: Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that affects the heart rate. The
nurse should check the client's heart rate before administration. If the heart
rate is below 60 beats per minute, the medication may be withheld.
4. A nurse is preparing to administer metformin to a client with type 2 diabetes.
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider
immediately?
• a) Blood glucose level of 180 mg/dL
• b) Serum creatinine level of 1.8 mg/dL
• c) Body mass index (BMI) of 30
• d) Blood pressure of 130/85 mmHg
Answer: b) Serum creatinine level of 1.8 mg/dL
• Rationale: Metformin is contraindicated in clients with impaired renal
function. A serum creatinine level of 1.8 mg/dL suggests renal impairment,
and the provider should be notified to evaluate the medication use.
5. A nurse is administering a dose of ceftriaxone to a client with an infection.
Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor for?
• a) Hyperkalemia

, • b) Ototoxicity
• c) Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
• d) Thrombocytopenia
Answer: c) Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
• Rationale: Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic, and one of its common
adverse effects is the development of C. difficile-associated diarrhea due to
disruption of normal gut flora.
6. A nurse is caring for a client who is prescribed lisinopril. The nurse should
monitor for which of the following adverse effects?
• a) Hypokalemia
• b) Angioedema
• c) Weight gain
• d) Hyperglycemia
Answer: b) Angioedema
• Rationale: Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor, and a rare but serious adverse effect
is angioedema, which involves swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat.
7. A nurse is administering morphine to a client for pain. The nurse should
monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?
• a) Hypertension
• b) Tachypnea
• c) Respiratory depression
• d) Increased appetite
Answer: c) Respiratory depression
• Rationale: Morphine is an opioid analgesic, and respiratory depression is a
common and potentially life-threatening adverse effect. The nurse should
monitor the client's respiratory rate closely.

, 8. A nurse is preparing to administer atorvastatin to a client. Which of the
following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
• a) "Take this medication with food to minimize stomach upset."
• b) "Report any unexplained muscle pain or weakness."
• c) "This medication will lower your blood sugar levels."
• d) "Avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medication."
Answer: b) "Report any unexplained muscle pain or weakness."
• Rationale: Atorvastatin is a statin, and a serious adverse effect is myopathy,
which can lead to rhabdomyolysis. The nurse should instruct the client to
report muscle pain or weakness.
9. A nurse is administering insulin glargine to a client with diabetes. Which of
the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
• a) "I will administer this medication at the same time each day."
• b) "This insulin will peak in 2-4 hours."
• c) "I will inject this insulin into my thigh or abdomen."
• d) "I should not mix this insulin with other insulins."
Answer: b) "This insulin will peak in 2-4 hours."
• Rationale: Insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin that has a duration of
action of up to 24 hours and does not have a peak time. The client should
be taught that it provides a steady level of insulin.
10. A nurse is administering furosemide to a client. Which of the following
assessments should the nurse perform before administering the medication?
• a) Blood pressure
• b) Serum potassium level
• c) Respiratory rate
