PN ADULT MEDICAL SURGICAL 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dysphagia following a stroke. The nurse should recommend a referral to which of the following members of the interdisciplinary team?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A speech therapist addresses dysphagia by assessing swallowing and recommending strategies, critical after a stroke. Other therapists focus on different rehabilitation aspects.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse working the night shift is caring for an older adult client who has dementia and is at risk for falls. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A motion sensor mat alerts staff to movement, reducing fall risk in dementia clients. TV can agitate, four rails are a restraint, and moving the table doesn't directly prevent falls.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the results of a client's fecal occult blood screening test. Which of the following findings from the client's history should the nurse identify as potentially causing a false-positive result?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ibuprofen, an NSAID, can cause GI irritation and bleeding, leading to a false-positive fecal occult blood test. The other factors are unlikely to affect the result directly.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the care of a client who has tinea corporis with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding direct contact prevents the spread of tinea corporis, a fungal infection. Airborne precautions and antibiotics are inappropriate, and isolation isn't required beyond contact precautions.
