NCLEX Trainer Test 9 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer a medication to a client via a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform FIRST?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Verifying nasogastric tube placement prevents aspiration, a priority before medication administration. Options B, C, and D follow placement confirmation.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for clients in outpatient surgery.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a four-year-old, using dolls or puppets to demonstrate the procedure in simple terms is developmentally appropriate, addressing what the child will experience (see, hear, feel). Drawing pictures or reading books is better for school-aged children, and time concepts like one hour are not relatable to preschoolers.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of Cushing’s syndrome.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Moon face and truncal obesity result from cortisol excess in Cushing’s syndrome. Weight loss, hypotension, and polyuria are more typical of Addison’s disease or diabetes insipidus.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client who has short-term memory loss how to use the call light. Which factor is least essential for the nurse to assess when teaching this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ambulatory difficulty is least relevant, as call light use relies on vision, orientation, and language comprehension, not mobility.
Question 5 of 5
When planning the care for a young adult client diagnosed with anorexia nervosa which of these concerns should the nurse determine to be the priority for long term mobility?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amenorrhea. Changes in reproductive hormones and in thyroid hormones can cause absence of menstruation, called amenorrhea, which contributes to osteoporosis and bone fractures.
