Fundamentals of Nursing HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

A health care provider has prescribed isoniazid (Laniazid) for a client. Which instruction should the LPN give the client about this medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. When taking isoniazid, alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase the risk of liver damage, potentially leading to drug-induced hepatitis. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Prolonged use of isoniazid does not typically cause dark concentrated urine; it is not necessary to take the medication on an empty stomach for optimal absorption; and it is not recommended to take isoniazid with aluminum hydroxide to minimize GI upset.

Question 2 of 5

What advice should the client be given if they are feeling dizzy upon standing after taking a diuretic for hypertension?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct advice for a client feeling dizzy upon standing after taking a diuretic for hypertension is to avoid standing up too quickly. Diuretics can lead to orthostatic hypotension, causing dizziness upon sudden position changes. Increasing fluid intake can exacerbate the issue by further lowering blood pressure. Eating more salt might counteract the diuretic's effects but is not the primary intervention for orthostatic hypotension. Compression stockings are more relevant for venous insufficiency than for orthostatic hypotension.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following manifestations confirms the presence of pediculosis capitis in students?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Whitish oval specks sticking to the hair shaft are nits, which are a definitive sign of pediculosis capitis (head lice). A: Scratching the head more than usual is a common symptom but not confirmatory of head lice infestation. B: Flakes evident on a student's shoulders may indicate dandruff or dry scalp, not necessarily head lice. C: Oval pattern occipital hair loss is not a typical manifestation of pediculosis capitis.

Question 4 of 5

A client has been admitted to the Coronary Care Unit with a myocardial infarction. Which nursing diagnosis should have priority?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pain related to ischemia. This nursing diagnosis should have priority because addressing the pain caused by ischemia is crucial in managing the client's myocardial infarction. Pain management is essential not only for the client's comfort but also for improving outcomes and reducing complications. Choices B, C, and D are not the priority in this scenario. Risk for altered elimination: constipation (Choice B) is not as immediate a concern as managing the client's pain. Risk for complication: dysrhythmias (Choice C) may be a potential concern but addressing the client's pain takes precedence. Anxiety related to pain (Choice D) is important to address but should come after managing the pain itself.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse plans to assist a male client out of bed for the first time since his surgery yesterday. His wife objects and tells the nurse to get out of the room because her husband is too ill to get out of bed.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Checking the client's blood pressure and pulse deficit is essential before mobilizing a client out of bed, especially after surgery. This assessment helps ensure the client's stability and readiness for mobilization. Administering oxygen or pivoting the client without prior assessment could pose risks if the client is not medically stable. Helping the client lie back down without proper evaluation may delay necessary interventions if the client is indeed ready for mobilization.
