NCLEX Practice Questions on Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
The perioperative nurse is preparing the room for a Femoropopliteal Bypass. All of the following supplies and equipment should be available except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Crafts of multiple sizes and shapes,' likely a typo for 'grafts,' but assuming intent, all others (A-C) are vascular surgery essentials X-ray for imaging, catheters for clots, hemoclips for hemostasis while 'crafts' is unclear. In nursing, relevant supplies matter; D aligns with NCLEX Perioperative, excluding irrelevant items.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Choice D addresses fears of dependency (only with prolonged use) and explains pain relief aids mobility and healing, per postoperative pain management principles.
