NCLEX Trainer Test 7 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client has just had a basal cell carcinoma removed in the doctor's office. Which statement the client makes indicates understanding regarding prevention and early detection of basal cell carcinoma?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Long sleeves protect against UV exposure, a key risk for basal cell carcinoma. Moles, lotions, or tanning booths are unrelated or harmful.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of deep vein thrombosis.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bed rest with leg elevation reduces venous pressure and prevents clot dislodgement in DVT. Analgesics and compresses are supportive, and active exercises risk embolization.
Question 3 of 5
A newly diagnosed diabetic is learning to administer her injections of NPH and regular insulin. Which statement indicates that the client understands the nurse's teaching regarding proper insulin administration?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When mixing NPH and regular insulin, regular insulin (clear) should be withdrawn first to avoid contaminating it with NPH (cloudy). Separate injections are not standard. Order matters (C is incorrect). Withdrawing NPH first risks contamination.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assigned to a newly delivered woman with HIV/AIDS. The student asks the nurse about how it is determined that a person has AIDS other than a positive HIV test. The nurse responds:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: CD4 lymphocyte count is less than 200. AIDS is defined by a CD4 count less than 200 or the presence of an opportunistic infection.
Question 5 of 5
After abdominal surgery, a client has a nasogastric tube attached to low suctioning.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nausea and decreased flow suggest possible NG tube obstruction. Aspirating gastric contents with a syringe confirms tube placement (pH 0-4) and checks for blockages, addressing the cause of symptoms. Irrigation should use normal saline after placement confirmation, and antiemetics or tube replacement do not assess tube function.
