Emergency Nursing NCLEX Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing first aid to a victim of a poisonous snake bite. Which intervention should be the nurse’s first action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Immobilizing the limb and removing constrictive items (e.g., jewelry) prevents venom spread and swelling, the first action.
Tourniquets, cutting, and steroids are outdated or secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The charge nurse is making assignments. Which client should be assigned to the most experienced nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Antivenin administration for snake bites requires close monitoring for anaphylaxis and dosing, best handled by an experienced nurse. Lye ingestion discharge, psychiatric issues, and grafts are less acute.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse working in a homeless shelter identifies an adolescent female sexually aggressive toward some of the males in the shelter. Which is the most common cause for this behavior?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sexual aggression in adolescents often reflects learned behavior from past abuse or trauma, seeking attention or control. Promiscuity, nymphomania, or prostitution are less likely or outdated terms.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class about rape prevention to a group of women at a community center. Which information is not a myth about rape?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rape is about power and control, not sexual desire, a fact. Provocative dressing, misinterpreting 'no,' and excluding male victims are myths.
Question 5 of 5
Which question is an appropriate interview question for the nurse to use with clients involved in abuse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asking about a safety plan is non-judgmental and empowers the client. Accusatory, alcohol-focused, or blame-oriented questions hinder trust.
