NCLEX Questions on Sensory Perception Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A 68-year-old woman is brought to the emergency room by ambulance. She was found by her husband slumped in her chair and unresponsive. Tentative diagnosis is cerebrovascular accident (CVA). The physician orders a 15% solution of mannitol IV. The nurse knows that this drug is given for what purpose?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Mannitol reduces intracranial pressure and blood pressure by promoting diuresis in CVA patients with cerebral edema.

Question 2 of 5

The elderly client has undergone a right-eye cataract removal with an intraocular implant. Which discharge instructions should the nurse teach the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Instilling prescribed eyedrops (e.g., antibiotics, steroids) prevents infection and inflammation post-cataract surgery. Otic drops are irrelevant, low lights are unnecessary, and elevation is not standard.

Question 3 of 5

The 65-year-old client is diagnosed with macular degeneration. Which statement by the client indicates the client needs more discharge teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Low-watt bulbs reduce visibility, counterproductive in macular degeneration. Magnification, Amsler grid monitoring (daily preferred), and low-vision centers are appropriate.

Question 4 of 5

Which statement indicates to the nurse the client is experiencing some hearing loss?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Turning up the television volume suggests hearing loss. Ear cleaning is unrelated, ear pain suggests infection, and dizziness indicates vestibular issues.

Question 5 of 5

The client recently diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in both eyes returns to the clinic for a follow-up appointment. Which assessment will the nurse be certain to include during the visit?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The nurse should assess for depression because loss of vision can affect functional ability, mood, and quality of life. Depression frequently develops within a few months after AMD is diagnosed in both eyes. GI bleeding, blood glucose, and hearing loss are not directly related to AMD.
