Emergency Nursing NCLEX Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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 Promiscuity, nymphomania, or prostitution are less likely or outdated terms.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 2 of 5
The ED nurse is completing the initial assessment on a client who becomes unresponsive. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assessing the cardiac rhythm determines the cause of unresponsiveness (e.g., arrhythmia), guiding ACLS interventions. IV checks, bicarbonate, and cardioversion follow.
Question 3 of 5
Which cultural issues should the nurse consider when caring for clients during a bioterrorism attack? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
Rationale: Language, religious practices, prayer times, and death rituals affect care delivery in bioterrorism scenarios. Family containment is logistical, not cultural.
Question 4 of 5
Which problem is most appropriate for the nurse to identify for the client experiencing renal trauma?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Renal trauma risks bleeding and hypoperfusion, making ineffective tissue perfusion the primary problem. Infection, skin integrity, and temperature are less immediate.
Question 5 of 5
A gang war has resulted in 12 young males being brought to the emergency department. Which action by the nurse is priority when a gang member points a gun at a rival gang member in the trauma room?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Self-protection by exiting the line of fire prioritizes nurse safety, allowing for security intervention. Talking, explaining police arrival, or standing between risks harm.
