NCLEX Practice Questions on Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 of 4
After the health care provider has recommended amputation for a patient who has nonhealing ischemic foot ulcers, the patient tells the nurse that he would rather die than have an amputation. Which response by the nurse is best?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as assessing knowledge and feelings fosters understanding and coping, the best initial response. Dismissing emotions (choice A), focusing on prosthetics (choice B), or autonomy (choice D) skips exploration. This reflects NCLEX Psychosocial Integrity, prioritizing patient-centered communication in critical decisions.
Question 2 of 4
Which information obtained by the nurse about a 29-year-old patient with a lumbar vertebral compression fracture is most important to report to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 4
Which finding is the best indicator that the fluid resuscitation for a patient with hypovolemic shock has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as adequate urine output (60 mL/hr) reflects restored renal perfusion, the best sign of effective fluid resuscitation in hypovolemic shock. Hemoglobin (choice A), CVP (choice C), and MAP (choice D) inform status but not organ perfusion directly. This aligns with NCLEX Physiological Integrity, evaluating end-organ response to therapy.
Question 4 of 4
The patient with neurogenic shock is receiving a phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) infusion through a right forearm IV. Which assessment finding obtained by the nurse indicates a need for immediate action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
