"get me wrong"

I have known the speech part of "wrong" is an adjective for a long time here in "get me wrong" and "got five questions wrong" but in Longman Dictionary says "wrong" is written as an adverb. So, I am confused now. Please help me. Which one is right?

I'd call 'get me wrong' an idiomatic phrase. As for 'get 5 questions wrong', it seem more like an adjective ( get 5 wrong answers ).
