Practice questions with rationales

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

  1. 1. Which client should the nurse assess first?

    Answer and rationale

    Correct: B. New restlessness with low oxygen saturation signals possible hypoxia — an airway/breathing problem that comes first. The others are stable.

  2. 2. A nurse must give 250 mg of a drug. It is supplied as 125 mg/5 mL. How many mL?

    Answer and rationale

    Correct: B. 250 ÷ 125 × 5 mL = 10 mL.
