Emergency Nursing NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The ED nurse is caring for the client who has taken an overdose of cocaine. Which intervention should the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing a cardiac monitor is a technical task delegable to UAPs. Airway evaluation, IV monitoring, and transfers require nursing judgment.
Question 2 of 5
The triage nurse has placed a disaster tag on the client. Which action warrants immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Removing the disaster tag disrupts identification and tracking, requiring intervention. Documentation, vital signs, and attachment are appropriate.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse in the emergency department administered an intramuscular antibiotic in the left gluteal muscle to the client with pneumonia who is being discharged home. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Waiting 30 minutes post-antibiotic monitors for allergic reactions, critical for safety. Allergies should be checked pre-administration, sputum is diagnostic, and warm washcloths are not standard.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is working at a facility where an Ebola client has been admitted. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Consulting the nurse manager ensures adherence to Ebola-specific infection control (e.g., PPE, isolation). Resigning, watching news, or participating in reports are inappropriate.
Question 5 of 5
Which situation warrants the nurse obtaining information from a material safety data sheet (MSDS)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: MSDS provides handling and exposure information for chemical spills like solvents. Antineoplastic spills require specific protocols, and needle sticks or falls involve infection control or safety protocols, not MSDS.
