Practice questions with rationales

Original NCLEX-style questions. Choose an answer to see the rationale.

  1. 1. A client in DKA is started on an insulin drip. Which value must the nurse watch closely?

    Answer and rationale

    Correct: B. Insulin moves potassium into cells, so potassium can drop quickly during DKA treatment.

  2. 2. A client 1 day after abdominal surgery becomes restless with SpO₂ 88%. What is the nurse's first action?

    Answer and rationale

    Correct: B. Restlessness with low oxygen saturation suggests hypoxia. Positioning and oxygen address airway and breathing first.
