Good Multiple Choice Question About Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Pediatric, geriatric, and physiologically compromised patients have impaired thermal regulatory mechanisms that place them at risk for hypothermia. The perioperative nurse should prepare the OR bed before patient arrival by placing:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Select three basic criteria requirements that an OR bed mattress must meet.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
This hemostatic device offers a rapid and secure method of clamping arteries, veins, nerves, and other small structures. It will remain in the patient, is not counted, and is made of a metal that is compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Select the correct hemostatic device that fits this description.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
When monitoring for the effectiveness of treatment for a patient with a large anterior wall myocardial infarction, the most important information for the nurse to obtain is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Choice D as PAWP reflects left ventricular preload, a key indicator of cardiac function post-myocardial infarction. Elevated PAWP signals left ventricular failure, critical in anterior wall damage. CVP (choice A) monitors right heart, SVR (choice B) afterload, and PVR (choice C) pulmonary resistance less direct for left heart assessment. This aligns with physiological integrity in NCLEX, prioritizing data that detects failure early, guiding treatment to prevent further cardiac compromise.
Question 5 of 5
Which assessment finding obtained by the nurse when caring for a patient receiving mechanical ventilation indicates the need for suctioning?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as tachypnea (32 breaths/min) suggests airway obstruction needing suctioning. Normal saturation (choice A), timing (choice B), or wheezes (choice D) don't directly indicate need. This aligns with NCLEX physiological integrity, using respiratory rate to assess clearance in ventilated patients.
