Neurological Disorder NCLEX Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

If the client begins to have a seizure after the EEG, which action should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Placing the client in a side-lying position prevents aspiration and maintains airway patency during a seizure.

Question 2 of 5

The client diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome is scheduled to receive plasmapheresis treatments. The client’s spouse asks the nurse about the purpose of plasmapheresis. Which explanation is correct?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Aquapheresis or dialysis, not plasmapheresis, will remove excess fluid from the blood. Plasmapheresis does not increase protein levels in the blood. Plasmapheresis is a procedure in which harmful antibodies are removed from the blood. During the procedure, blood is removed from the client, the plasma is separated, and blood cells without the plasma are returned to the client. Plasmapheresis does not involve infusing lipoproteins.

Question 3 of 5

The rehabilitation nurse caring for the client with an Lumbar SCI is developing the nursing care plan. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Lumbar SCI affects lower extremities, increasing DVT risk. Low-dose anticoagulants (
B) prevent thromboembolism. Oxygen (
A) is unnecessary without respiratory issues, active ROM (
C) is not feasible due to paralysis, and speech therapy (
D) is irrelevant.

Question 4 of 5

Which client would the nurse identify as being most at risk for experiencing a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Risk factors for CVA include advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, and ethnicity, with African Americans and Asians at higher risk. An 84-year-old Japanese female is at the highest risk due to her age and potential for comorbidities like hypertension, which is prevalent in older populations. A 55-year-old African American male is also at risk, but age is a stronger factor. Pregnancy increases risk but is less significant compared to advanced age.

Question 5 of 5

Which assessment finding in a client post-diskectomy indicates a potential complication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Numbness in the toes may indicate nerve compression or damage, a potential complication requiring further evaluation.
