NCLEX Questions Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
A male patient had a vasectomy in his urologist's office. The small incision was closed with sutures that are synthetic and will 'dissolve and fall out' after 2 to 3 weeks. As the procedure ended, he heard the doctor ask the nurse for 5-0:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
To verify the correct placement of an oral endotracheal tube (ET) after insertion, the best initial action by the nurse is to
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Choice D as end-tidal COâ‚‚ monitoring provides rapid, accurate verification of tracheal placement. Auscultation (choice A) and chest movement (choice C) are less precise, and x-rays (choice B) confirm later. This aligns with NCLEX physiological integrity, ensuring airway security in critical care ventilation.
Question 3 of 5
The family members of a patient who has just been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with multiple traumatic injuries have just arrived in the ICU waiting room. Which action should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as providing injury and care details reduces family anxiety first. Visitation policies (choice A) or bedside visits (choice B) follow preparation, and conferences (choice D) are later steps. This prioritizes psychosocial integrity per NCLEX, supporting families in critical care trauma scenarios.
Question 4 of 5
The occupational health nurse will teach the patient whose job involves many hours of typing about the need to
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A as a keyboard pad maintains wrist alignment, preventing repetitive strain injuries from typing. Stretching (choice B) helps during work, not just before; compression bandages (choice C) are unnecessary unless prescribed; and NSAIDs (choice D) are appropriate for pain relief. This reflects NCLEX Health Promotion and Maintenance, focusing on ergonomic interventions to mitigate strain, a common occupational hazard, ensuring long-term wrist health.
Question 5 of 5
Which action will the nurse take in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Buck's traction for a 62-year-old patient who has an intracapsular fracture of the right femur?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as reduced hip pain indicates Buck's traction effectiveness in relieving spasm. Pulses (choice A) assess circulation, not traction; contractures (choice C) and dislocation (choice D) are unrelated risks. This reflects NCLEX Physiological Integrity, using pain as a primary outcome measure in traction evaluation.
