Endocrine NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse writes a problem of 'altered body image' for a 34-year-old client diagnosed with Cushing's disease. Which intervention should be implemented?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Therapeutic communication addresses body image concerns (e.g., moon face, weight gain) in Cushing’s, promoting coping. Glucose, assessments, and bowel sounds are unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client newly diagnosed with type 2 DM. Which information should the nurse emphasize in the session?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Exercise increases insulin receptor sites in the tissue and can have a direct effect on lowering blood glucose levels. Exercise contributes to weight loss, which also decreases insulin resistance.
Question 3 of 5
A clinic nurse is teaching the client newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Which instructions should the nurse provide about taking levothyroxine sodium? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Taking levothyroxine on an empty stomach ensures absorption, notifying the clinic for tachycardia prevents overdose, and taking it as prescribed replaces deficient hormone.
Question 4 of 5
Which assessment technique is most appropriate when checking for laryngeal nerve damage in a client who has had a thyroidectomy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asking the client to say 'Ah' assesses vocal cord function, which can be affected by laryngeal nerve damage.
Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with diabetes complains of a curtain being drawn across the eyes. Which should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A curtain-like vision loss suggests retinal detachment, a diabetic complication requiring urgent HCP notification. Ophthalmoscopy, closing eyes, or RRT are inappropriate first steps.
