Skin Integrity NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The American Red Cross was founded by whom, as an outgrowth of service during which war?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1881, inspired by her Civil War nursing (Choice B), per historical records. Dorothea Dix led Civil War nursing but not Red Cross. Lillian Wald pioneered public health, not tied to WWII. Florence Nightingale revolutionized nursing in the Crimean War, not American Red Cross. Barton's wartime aid organizing supplies, caring for wounded directly birthed the organization, making this the correct answer for nursing history context.
Question 2 of 5
A patient had major surgery and is worried about home, coaching soccer, pain, and seeing their significant other. Which action would you take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Post-surgery, pain (addressed by Choice B) is a physiologic need per Maslow, impacting recovery and distress. Reassuring about home dismisses feelings. Soccer coaching or calling the significant other are psychosocial, secondary to pain control. Administering meds (if ordered) reduces pain, stabilizes vitals, and enables further care, aligning with LPN priorities and patient comfort, making it the correct first action.
Question 3 of 5
Regarding informed consent for a surgical procedure, the nurse is responsible for which aspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: LPNs ensure procedural readiness. Verifying signed, witnessed consent is their role, per facility policy, confirming legal compliance before surgery. Explaining risks is the surgeon's duty. Mental capacity is a provider judgment. Meds follow consent but aren't primary. Verification ensures patient rights and safety, a key LPN task, making it the correct responsibility.
Question 4 of 5
During major surgery, the patient is considered at risk for:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prolonged positioning risks pressure injuries or nerve damage during surgery, per perioperative nursing. Fasting is short-term, not primary. Hypervolemia is possible but monitored. Hypertension isn't fluid-driven typically. Immobility's physical harm is a top intra-op concern, LPNs note in recovery, making it the correct risk.
Question 5 of 5
You know that an older adult patient who had open reduction and internal fixation of the right femur is at risk for infection. A desired result of interventions would be that the:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Infection prevention post-ORIF targets no wound infection (Choice D), per surgical outcomes, reflecting effective care (e.g., antibiotics). Fever limit is a sign, not result. Reporting signs is action, not outcome. Aseptic understanding is education. No infection is the ultimate goal, an LPN aim, making it the correct result.
