Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing an eye assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Eyelashes curling outward are normal, protecting the eye. Opaque corneas, dilated pupils (8-9 mm), and excessive blinking (30-35/min vs. 15-20) are abnormal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires airborne precautions. The nurse is preparing to leave the client’s room following a dressing change. Which of the following pieces of personal protective equipment should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gloves are removed first as they contact contaminated surfaces, preventing pathogen spread to other PPE or skin. Eyewear, mask, and gown follow in sequence.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has left-sided weakness following a stroke. Which of the following findings is the nurse’s priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent coughing while eating suggests aspiration risk, a priority due to potential pneumonia in stroke patients. Leaning indicates balance issues, low intake needs monitoring, and BP is elevated but not critical.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer intermittent tube feeding to a client who has a percutaneous gastrostomy tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flushing with 5 mL water maintains patency and clears residue. pH checks are for NG tubes, 8-hour checks are too infrequent, and supine positioning risks aspiration—semi-upright is preferred.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer insulin to a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus, what action should the nurse perform first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Verifying the dose with another nurse ensures accuracy, preventing errors in this high-risk medication. Administering, using a filter needle, or mixing come after confirmation.
