NCLEX Practice Questions on Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse will instruct the patient with a fractured left radius that the cast will need to remain in place
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as ossification begins at 3 weeks, requiring cast immobilization for at least that duration. Months (choice A) or full union (choice D) exceed initial needs, and swelling resolution (choice C) isn't a healing marker. This reflects NCLEX Physiological Integrity, providing accurate timelines for bone healing to guide patient expectations and care.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing action for a patient who has had right hip replacement surgery can the nurse delegate to experienced unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Which information obtained by the nurse about a 29-year-old patient with a lumbar vertebral compression fracture is most important to report to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
Which finding is the best indicator that the fluid resuscitation for a patient with hypovolemic shock has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as adequate urine output (60 mL/hr) reflects restored renal perfusion, the best sign of effective fluid resuscitation in hypovolemic shock. Hemoglobin (choice A), CVP (choice C), and MAP (choice D) inform status but not organ perfusion directly. This aligns with NCLEX Physiological Integrity, evaluating end-organ response to therapy.
Question 5 of 5
The patient with neurogenic shock is receiving a phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) infusion through a right forearm IV. Which assessment finding obtained by the nurse indicates a need for immediate action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
