Nursing Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which structure of the eye is the thin, transparent lining of the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the sclera?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The conjunctiva lines the eyelid and sclera, unlike the others.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is to collect a sputum specimen from a client. The best time to collect this specimen is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sputum accumulates overnight, making early morning collection (C) ideal for a concentrated sample. Other times (A, B, D) yield less reliable specimens.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a group of clients. The nurse knows that which of the following clients is at risk for fluid volume deficit? (DHA)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A colostomy bag (D) increases fluid loss via stool, risking deficit. Cirrhosis (A) and CHF (C) cause fluid retention, and kidney dysfunction (B) may reduce output but not necessarily deficit.
Question 4 of 5
What is the first choice of MI
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Morphine (C) is the first-line treatment for myocardial infarction (MI) to relieve chest pain and reduce oxygen demand. Ecospirin (A) and heparin (D) prevent clotting, and streptokinase (B) dissolves clots, but pain relief is the priority.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is taking the health history of a patient being treated for sickle cell disease. After being told the patient has severe generalized pain, the nurse expects to note which assessment finding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sickle cell disease causes vaso-occlusion, leading to jaundice (yellow sclera, C) from hemolysis. Generalized pain is typical, not toe-specific (B), and diarrhea (A) or headache (D) are less common.
