PN ADULT MEDICAL SURGICAL 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a seizure disorder. Which of the following supplies should the nurse have at the client's bedside at all times?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Suction equipment clears airways during a seizure, preventing aspiration.
Tongue blades are outdated, and restraints or backboards are not standard bedside items for seizure care.
Question 2 of 5
A home health nurse is reinforcing teaching with an older adult client about safety precautions to take in the home. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: White tape on stair edges improves visibility, reducing fall risk in older adults. Rugs and hidden cords are trip hazards, and furnace checks should be annual, not biennial.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with an older adult client who has an increased LDL level. Which of the following foods should the nurse encourage the client to limit?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Swiss cheese is high in saturated fat, raising LDL; canola oil, avocados, and walnuts are heart-healthy.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a closed-chest tube drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Replacing the unit when full maintains system function. Clamping risks tension pneumothorax, pinning can dislodge tubing, and 150 mL/hr is excessive and not a standard expectation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is initiating the use of a continuous passive motion (CPM) device for a client following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Aligning the client's joints with the CPM frame ensures proper movement and prevents injury. Flexion/extension should be preset by the provider, padding isn't typically needed, and high-Fowler's position is inappropriate for this therapy.
