Perioperative Care Practice Questions Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
As a member of the surgical team, the perioperative nurse advocates for the surgical patient during the surgical experience. Which nursing activity would positively influence patient safety and desired patient outcomes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The ideal suture material is one that has handling characteristics such as:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
The surgeon decided to convert to an open abdominal instead of the laparoscopic approach for the colectomy, because the patient was morbidly obese and he needed a larger incision. He asked the circulating nurse to bring the largest self-retaining retractor in the sterile storage room. Select the appropriate retractor.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
Which assessment finding obtained by the nurse when caring for a patient with a right radial arterial line indicates a need for the nurse to take immediate action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A as a cooler hand suggests impaired blood flow, possibly from arterial occlusion, requiring immediate action. Normal MAP (choice B) and flush rates (choice C) don't warrant urgency, and tubing changes (choice D) follow a 96-hour protocol. This reflects NCLEX physiological integrity, prioritizing circulation assessment to prevent tissue damage in critical care.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is weaning a 68-kg male patient who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from mechanical ventilation. Which patient assessment finding indicates that the weaning protocol should be stopped?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as tachypnea (32 breaths/min) signals excessive breathing effort, halting weaning. Normal heart rate (choice A), acceptable saturation (choice B), and tidal volume (choice D) support continuation. This aligns with NCLEX physiological integrity, prioritizing work-of-breathing assessment in COPD weaning.
