Good Multiple Choice Question About Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
This hemostatic device offers a rapid and secure method of clamping arteries, veins, nerves, and other small structures. It will remain in the patient, is not counted, and is made of a metal that is compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Select the correct hemostatic device that fits this description.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which assessment finding obtained by the nurse when caring for a patient receiving mechanical ventilation indicates the need for suctioning?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as tachypnea (32 breaths/min) suggests airway obstruction needing suctioning. Normal saturation (choice A), timing (choice B), or wheezes (choice D) don't directly indicate need. This aligns with NCLEX physiological integrity, using respiratory rate to assess clearance in ventilated patients.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse notes that a patient's endotracheal tube (ET), which was at the 22-cm mark, is now at the 25-cm mark and the patient is anxious and restless. Which action should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as tube displacement to 25 cm may indicate right mainstem intubation, requiring breath sound assessment. Reassurance (choice A) delays diagnosis, bagging (choice B) or notifying (choice D) follows confirmation. This prioritizes physiological integrity per NCLEX, ensuring airway placement in critical care.
Question 4 of 5
A 22-year-old tennis player has an arthroscopic repair of a rotator cuff injury performed in same-day surgery. When the nurse plans postoperative teaching for the patient, which information will be included?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as physical therapy starts day one post-surgery to prevent stiffness, crucial for rotator cuff recovery. Tennis may resume after rehab (choice A is false), the drop-arm test (choice C) assesses injury, not success, and prolonged immobilization (choice D) risks loss of motion. This aligns with NCLEX Physiological Integrity, ensuring active rehabilitation to restore shoulder function.
Question 5 of 5
When doing discharge teaching for a 19-year-old patient who has had a repair of a fractured mandible, the nurse will include information about
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as teaching wire-cutting for emergencies (e.g., airway issues) is critical with jaw wiring. Tube feedings (choice A) end by discharge, high-fiber foods (choice C) aren't feasible with liquids, and dressings (choice D) aren't involved. This aligns with NCLEX Physiological Integrity, ensuring patient safety post-mandible repair.
