Emergency Nursing NCLEX Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A vat of chemicals spilled onto the client. Which action should the occupational health nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Removing clothes and showering decontaminates the skin, preventing further chemical absorption. MSDS, oxygen, and sampling are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on disaster preparedness. Which are components of an emergency operations plan (EOP)? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: An EOP includes practice drills, deactivation, preincident planning, and security. Communication plans include external stakeholders, not just internal.
Question 3 of 5
A gang war has resulted in 12 young males being brought to the emergency department. Which action by the nurse is priority when a gang member points a gun at a rival gang member in the trauma room?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Self-protection by exiting the line of fire prioritizes nurse safety, allowing for security intervention. Talking, explaining police arrival, or standing between risks harm.
Question 4 of 5
The client with a temperature of 94°F is being treated in the ED. Which intervention should the nurse implement to directly elevate the client’s temperature?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A warm air blanket (e.g., Bair Hugger) directly raises core temperature in hypothermia. Removing clothing, changing gowns, or room temperature are less effective.
Question 5 of 5
Which health-care team member referral should be made by the nurse when a code is being conducted on a client in a community hospital?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The respiratory therapist manages airway and ventilation during a code, critical for resuscitation. Chaplain, social worker, and director are supportive, not acute.
