Perioperative Nursing Care NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A Nurse as a patient's advocate means that the Nurse
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A nurse as a patient advocate primarily ensures the patient's voice is heard and their needs met, especially when they can't speak for themselves. 'Acts as the patient's mouth piece,' is correct because it reflects advocacy's core—representing the patient's wishes, per the ANA Code of Ethics. 'Acts as the patient's witness,' is passive, not advocacy's active role. 'Teaches the patient to fight for his right,' is empowerment, not direct advocacy. 'Defends those involved in providing care,' prioritizes staff, not the patient. Advocacy involves articulating patient preferences (e.g., refusing treatment), making A the precise answer, aligned with nursing's patient-centered duty.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is a systemic complication of local anaesthesia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Local anesthesia complications can be local or systemic. 'Hypotension,' is correct as a systemic effect, often from overdose or rapid absorption (e.g., lidocaine toxicity), per anesthesiology texts (e.g., Morgan & Mikhail). 'Pain,' and 'Edema,' are local, site-specific reactions. 'Nerve damage,' is local, not systemic, unless widespread. Hypotension reflects systemic circulation impact, distinguishing C as the accurate answer, rooted in clinical observations of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST).
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following states the magnitude of the problem?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The statement of the problem defines the issue's scope and severity. 'Statement of the problem,' is correct because it quantifies the problem's extent (e.g., prevalence rates), per research methodology (e.g., Creswell). 'Purpose of study,' outlines intent, not magnitude. 'Significance of the study,' explains importance, not size. 'Relevance of the study,' justifies pertinence, not scale. The problem statement's role in detailing the issue's magnitude—e.g., 30% of nurses face burnout'—makes A the accurate answer.

Question 5 of 5
The circulatory route from aorta to the venae cavae is the circuit
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The systemic circuit runs from the aorta to tissues, returning via venae cavae. 'Systemic,' is correct, per physiology (e.g., Tortora). 'Pulmonary,' is heart-to-lungs. 'Circulus arteriosus,' is incorrect (likely Circle of Willis). Choice D is wrong as only systemic fits. B's accuracy makes it the answer.
