✍️ Sample SAUDI PROMETRIC NURSING Questions & Answers
1. A patient with schizophrenia tells the nurse that the television is sending special messages only to them. This symptom is an example of:
An idea of reference is a delusional belief that external events (TV, radio, strangers' conversations) have special personal relevance or messages directed specifically at the patient. It is a positive symptom of schizophrenia.
2. The nurse is administering IV calcium gluconate. What medication must be available at the bedside as an antidote?
Calcium gluconate is used to treat hypocalcemia and to protect the heart in hyperkalemia. However, rapid administration can cause bradycardia and cardiac arrest. ECG monitoring and resuscitation equipment (including sodium bicarbonate to manage arrhythmias) should be available.
3. A 10-month-old infant presents with high fever and a generalized macular rash that appears as the fever breaks. What condition does the nurse suspect?
Roseola (HHV-6) classically presents in infants 6–24 months old with 3–5 days of high fever (up to 40°C), followed by the appearance of a generalized rose-pink macular rash as the fever breaks. This sequence — fever first, rash after — is the hallmark.
4. A patient is admitted involuntarily to a psychiatric unit. The nurse explains that the patient retains which right?
Involuntary psychiatric admission restricts freedom of movement but does not eliminate all rights. Patients retain rights including: confidentiality, humane treatment, communication with an attorney, and the right to refuse medications in most jurisdictions (unless capacity is deemed absent by a court).
5. A nurse is implementing a surgical site infection (SSI) prevention bundle pre-operatively. Which intervention has the strongest evidence for reducing SSI?
Evidence-based SSI prevention: chlorhexidine-alcohol skin antisepsis (superior to povidone-iodine), timely antibiotic prophylaxis (within 60 min of incision), maintaining normothermia and glucose control, and avoiding hair shaving (clippers if needed, just before surgery). Prophylactic antibiotics should not extend beyond 24 hours routinely.
6. A critically ill patient has a serum potassium of 6.8 mEq/L with peaked T-waves on ECG. Which intervention takes priority?
Calcium gluconate stabilizes the cardiac membrane and is the first-line emergency treatment for severe hyperkalemia with ECG changes.
