Good Multiple Choice Question About Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse notes that a patient's endotracheal tube (ET), which was at the 22-cm mark, is now at the 25-cm mark and the patient is anxious and restless. Which action should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as tube displacement to 25 cm may indicate right mainstem intubation, requiring breath sound assessment. Reassurance (choice A) delays diagnosis, bagging (choice B) or notifying (choice D) follows confirmation. This prioritizes physiological integrity per NCLEX, ensuring airway placement in critical care.
Question 5 of 5
A 22-year-old tennis player has an arthroscopic repair of a rotator cuff injury performed in same-day surgery. When the nurse plans postoperative teaching for the patient, which information will be included?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as physical therapy starts day one post-surgery to prevent stiffness, crucial for rotator cuff recovery. Tennis may resume after rehab (choice A is false), the drop-arm test (choice C) assesses injury, not success, and prolonged immobilization (choice D) risks loss of motion. This aligns with NCLEX Physiological Integrity, ensuring active rehabilitation to restore shoulder function.
