End of Life NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client is in the psychiatric unit in a medical center. Which action by the psychiatric nurse is a violation of the client's legal and civil rights?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Eavesdropping on a client’s phone call violates privacy rights, per civil liberties. Allowing clothes, visits, or mail respects client autonomy.
Question 2 of 5
The client is three (3) hours post-heart transplantation. Which data would support a complication of this procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Excessive bleeding (saturated dressings) indicates a surgical complication, requiring urgent intervention. Nausea, bypass difficulty, or moderate pain are less immediate.
Question 3 of 5
The 6-year-old client diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) needs a lung transplant. Which individual would be the best donor for the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A healthy sibling (20-year-old brother) offers the best HLA match and living donor potential, minimizing rejection. Carrier status or partial matches are less optimal.
Question 4 of 5
The client is being discharged from the hospital for intractable pain secondary to cancer and is prescribed morphine, a narcotic. Which statement indicates the client understands the discharge instructions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Filling prescriptions before holidays ensures access to narcotics, reflecting understanding of controlled substance challenges. Other statements are inaccurate or unsafe.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse must be knowledgeable of ethical principles. Which is an example of the ethical principle of justice?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Justice ensures equitable care, like providing safe care to an indigent client. Placebos (deception), incompetence, or confidentiality are unrelated to justice.
