NCLEX Questions on Sensory Perception Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is planning the care of the client with Meniere's disease. With which member of the interdisciplinary team should the nurse expect a consultation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Since Meniere's disease is a condition of the ear, the nurse would plan to include the otolaryngologist. Rheumatologists, physical therapists, and oncologists treat unrelated conditions.
Question 2 of 5
The physician has ordered mannitol IV for a client with a head injury. What should the nurse closely monitor because the client is receiving mannitol?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Mannitol is a diuretic, so monitoring urine output is critical to assess its effectiveness and prevent dehydration.
Question 3 of 5
The student nurse asks the nurse, 'Which type of hearing loss involves damage to the cochlea or vestibulocochlear nerve?' Which statement is the best response of the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sensorineural hearing loss involves cochlear or vestibulocochlear nerve damage. Conductive loss affects the outer/middle ear, functional loss is psychological, and mixed involves both.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse speaks with the client who recently learned that cataracts are developing in both of the client's eyes. Which statement made by the client should the nurse correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Although there is reduced vision with beginning cataract development, a person can wait until vision worsens before having surgery. When vision is reduced to the extent that ADLs are affected, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If both eyes have cataracts, usually the eyes are treated in separate procedures. Surgery for a cataract involves removal of the client's lens, and in most situations, the lens is replaced with an intraocular lens.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is administering eardrops to a six (6)-year-old client. Which indicates the nurse is aware of the correct method for instilling eardrops to a child?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: For children under 3, pulling the pinna down and back straightens the ear canal; for older children like a 6-year-old, down and back is still appropriate. Upward or neutral pulls are incorrect.
