Perioperative Nursing Care NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
When creating a vascular or intestinal anastomosis (connecting two tubular structures together), the surgeon will typically suture one-half of the anastomosis with one half of the suture and the other half of the anastomosis with the other half of the suture. This technique minimizes the drag and wear on the suture material and needle. The correct name for this type of suture and needle is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse notes premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) while suctioning a patient's endotracheal tube. Which action by the nurse is a priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as PVCs during suctioning suggest hypoxemia, requiring immediate cessation and oxygenation. Lowering pressure (choice A) doesn't address hypoxia, documentation (choice B) delays care, and medications (choice D) are unnecessary if hypoxia resolves. This prioritizes physiological integrity per NCLEX, ensuring oxygen delivery in critical care.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse responds to a ventilator alarm and finds the patient lying in bed holding the endotracheal tube (ET). Which action should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
Which discharge instruction will the emergency department nurse include for a patient with a sprained ankle?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C as elevation reduces swelling and pain, a priority in acute sprain management. Loose gauze (choice A) lacks compression, heat (choice B) is inappropriate initially cold is preferred and motion (choice D) risks worsening injury early on. This reflects NCLEX Physiological Integrity, focusing on minimizing edema and supporting recovery in the first 24-48 hours post-injury.
Question 5 of 5
A patient who has had an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a hip fracture tells the nurse that he is ready to get out of bed for the first time. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
