Skin Integrity NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What does QSEN prepare you to do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses) emphasizes six competencies, with safety as foundational. Considering safety factors at all times reflects this, preventing harm (e.g., falls, med errors), per QSEN goals. Efficient task execution is secondary to safety. Evidence-based practice and informatics are QSEN elements, but safety underpins all care delivery. LPNs prioritize patient protection checking IDs, verifying orders making this the most immediate and correct focus of QSEN preparation.
Question 2 of 5
An advantage to the patient of a managed health care system is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Managed care (e.g., HMOs) lowers costs through negotiated rates, offering patients lower insurance costs and copays (Choice B), per healthcare economics. Same provider isn't guaranteed networks vary. Specialist access often requires referrals, not quick. Walk-ins depend on clinics, not managed care. Cost reduction is a key patient benefit, balancing access and affordability, making it the correct advantage.
Question 3 of 5
A patient had major surgery and is worried about home, coaching soccer, pain, and seeing their significant other. Which action would you take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Post-surgery, pain (addressed by Choice B) is a physiologic need per Maslow, impacting recovery and distress. Reassuring about home dismisses feelings. Soccer coaching or calling the significant other are psychosocial, secondary to pain control. Administering meds (if ordered) reduces pain, stabilizes vitals, and enables further care, aligning with LPN priorities and patient comfort, making it the correct first action.
Question 4 of 5
Regarding informed consent for a surgical procedure, the nurse is responsible for which aspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: LPNs ensure procedural readiness. Verifying signed, witnessed consent is their role, per facility policy, confirming legal compliance before surgery. Explaining risks is the surgeon's duty. Mental capacity is a provider judgment. Meds follow consent but aren't primary. Verification ensures patient rights and safety, a key LPN task, making it the correct responsibility.
Question 5 of 5
During major surgery, the patient is considered at risk for:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prolonged positioning risks pressure injuries or nerve damage during surgery, per perioperative nursing. Fasting is short-term, not primary. Hypervolemia is possible but monitored. Hypertension isn't fluid-driven typically. Immobility's physical harm is a top intra-op concern, LPNs note in recovery, making it the correct risk.
