Sensory NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The elderly client is complaining of abdominal discomfort. Which scientific rationale should the nurse remember when addressing an elderly client's perception of pain?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Age-related sensory decline reduces pain perception in the elderly, affecting reporting. Pain reaction varies, more medication is not standard, and the Wong scale is pediatric.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with acute otitis media. Which signs/symptoms support this medical diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Unilateral ear pain is a primary symptom of acute otitis media. Foul drainage suggests chronic infection, congestion is non-specific, and hearing loss is less common acutely.
Question 3 of 5
The employee health nurse is teaching a class on 'Preventing Eye Injury.' Which information should be discussed in the class?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reading instructions ensures safe tool and chemical use, preventing eye injuries. Glasses are specific, helmets are not always required, and attention is vague.
Question 4 of 5
The female client tells the clinic nurse she is going on a seven (7)-day cruise and is worried about getting motion sickness. Which information should the nurse discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A scopolamine patch prevents motion sickness effectively. HCP appointments, trip discouragement, and lying down are less practical.
Question 5 of 5
The client is receiving treatment with gentamicin ophthalmic solution for bacterial conjunctivitis. Which symptom, described by the client, indicates that the medication is ineffective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Mucopurulent eye drainage, especially yellowish or greenish, is associated with bacterial conjunctivitis; continuing with eye drainage indicates gentamicin is ineffective in treating the infection. Eyestrain, twitching, and inability to read small print are not associated with an infectious process.
