NCLEX Trainer Test 3 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should visit which of the following clients first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chest pain in a client with a history of angina suggests possible acute coronary syndrome, requiring immediate assessment to rule out myocardial infarction.
Question 2 of 5
A client has a repair of a hiatal hernia using a thoracic approach. During the immediate post-op period, the nurse should carefully assess the client for:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A thoracic approach affects the chest, so respiratory changes (e.g., distress, decreased oxygen saturation) are critical to assess post-op. Appetite, anxiety, and activity intolerance are less immediate concerns.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with possible cervical cancer. What clinical data would the nurse most expect to find in the client's history?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Postcoital vaginal bleeding is a hallmark symptom of cervical cancer due to tumor involvement of the cervix. Nausea, vomiting, foul-smelling discharge, and hyperthermia may occur in advanced stages or infections but are less specific, so B, C, and D are incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client with a new diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) about omeprazole (Prilosec). Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diarrhea may indicate Clostridium difficile infection, a serious omeprazole side effect. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: morning dosing is preferred, stopping the medication risks relapse, and it can be taken with meals.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse must know that the most accurate oxygen delivery system available is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most accurate way to deliver oxygen to the client is through a Venturi system such as the Venti Mask. The Venti Mask is a high flow device that entrains room air into a reservoir device on the mask and mixes the room air with 100% oxygen. The size of the opening to the reservoir determines the concentration of oxygen. The client's respiratory rate and respiratory pattern do not affect the concentration of oxygen delivered. The maximum amount of oxygen that can be delivered by this system is 53%.
