Question 1 of 5

A. 24-year-old mother during the vaginal delivery of her first child B. All patients should have latex free supplies during surgery since a history is not always possible C. 13-year-old boy who is having his tonsils removedâ€¦ D. 40-year-old appendectomy patient who reports that she has worked in healthcare for 17 years

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is doing preoperative patient education with a 61-year-old male patient who has a 40-pack per year history of cigarette smoking. The patient will undergo an elective bunionectomy at a time that fits his work schedule in a few months. What would be the best instruction to give to this patient?

A. Reduce smoking by 50% to prevent the development of pneumonia. B. Stop smoking at least 6 weeks before the scheduled surgery to enhance pulmonary function and decrease infection. C. Aim to quit smoking in the postoperative period to reduce the chance of surgical complications. D. Stop smoking 4 to 8 weeks before the scheduled surgery to enhance pulmonary function and decrease infection.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Stopping smoking 4 to 8 weeks pre-surgery enhances pulmonary function and reduces infection risk, per guidelines. Reducing by 50% is insufficient; 6 weeks is within the range but less precise; post-op quitting misses preoperative benefits. Smoking cessation improves oxygenation and healing, critical for elective surgery planning.

An OR nurse will be participating in the intraoperative phase of a patient's kidney transplant. What action will the nurse prioritize in this aspect of nursing care?

A. Monitoring the patient's physiologic status B. Providing emotional support to family C. Maintaining the patient's cognitive status D. Maintaining a clean environment

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The intraoperative nurse prioritizes physiologic monitoring , ensuring stability during anesthesia and surgery. Family support isn't feasible in the OR; cognitive status is anesthesia-managed; asepsis (not just cleanliness, choice D) is routine but secondary. This aligns with intraoperative priorities.
