Mock NCLEX RN Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a history of a retinal detachment who is scheduled for a scleral buckling procedure. The nurse should:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Eye drops (e.g., mydriatics) are often ordered pre-scleral buckling to dilate the pupil or reduce pressure. Flat positioning, fluid restriction, and breathing exercises are not standard.

Question 2 of 5

Which one of the following statements is correct when measuring the client for crutches?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Proper crutch fitting requires a gap of about three inches (or two to three fingerbreadths) between the crutch top and the axilla to prevent nerve damage. The elbow should flex at about 30°, and crutches extend about 6 inches laterally from the foot.

Question 3 of 5

A client is being discharged with albuterol (Proventil) and beclomethasone dipropionate (Vanceril) to be administered via inhalation three times a day and at bedtime. Client teaching regarding the sequential order in which the drugs should be administered includes:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The client would not receive therapeutic effects of the glucocorticoid when it is inhaled through constricted airways. Bronchodilating the airways first allows for the glucocorticoid to be inhaled through open airways and increases the penetration of the steroid for maximum effectiveness of the drug. Inaccurate use of the inhalers will lead to decreased effectiveness of the treatment. Client teaching regarding the use and effects of inhalers will promote client understanding and compliance.

Rationale: Using Nägele's rule (LMP - 3 months + 7 days + 1 year), August 3 leads to an estimated delivery date of May 10.

Question 5 of 5

A client with hypothyroidism frequently complains of feeling cold. The nurse should tell the client that she will be more comfortable if she:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Dressing in extra layers is a safe, effective way to manage cold intolerance in hypothyroidism by conserving body heat. Electric blankets and heating pads pose burn risks, and baths are temporary.
