NCLEX Neurology Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The condition of myopia is usually corrected by which type of lens?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Myopia (near-sightedness) is corrected with a concave lens to diverge light, moving the focal point onto the retina. TMP13 p. 641
Question 2 of 5
Which statement regarding retinal ganglion cells is correct?
Correct Answer: D

Question 3 of 5
A patient is being admitted with a possible stroke. Which information from the assessment indicates that the nurse should consult with the health care provider before giving the prescribed aspirin?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A sudden onset headache is typical of a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and aspirin is contraindicated. Atrial fibrillation, dysphasia, and transient ischemic attack are not contraindications to aspirin use.
Question 4 of 5
A patient who has a history of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) has an order for aspirin 160 mg daily. When the nurse is administering medications, the patient says, 'I don’t need the aspirin today. I don’t have a fever.' Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Aspirin is ordered to prevent stroke in patients who have experienced TIAs. Documentation of the patient's refusal to take the medication is an inadequate response by the nurse. There is no need to clarify the order with the health care provider. The aspirin is not ordered to prevent aches and pains.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following interventions should you perform for a patient admitted with an order for seizure precautions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Seizure precautions aim to ensure safety and treatment readiness. Obtaining IV access allows for rapid administration of anticonvulsants if needed. Keeping lights on or raising the bed increases risk, and tongue blades are outdated and unsafe.
