End of Life Care NCLEX Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The pregnant client asks the nurse about banking the cord blood. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cord blood banking involves annual storage fees for stem cells, per industry standards. Pain, hospital requirements, or four-year limits are inaccurate.
Question 2 of 5
Which tissue or organ can be repeatedly donated to clients needing a transplant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bone marrow regenerates, allowing repeated donation. Skin, bones, and kidneys are limited or single-donation tissues/organs.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is discussing malpractice issues in an in-service class. Which situation is an example of malpractice?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Malpractice involves breaching the standard of care causing harm, like ignoring hypotension and tachycardia. Child abuse reporting, narcotic theft, or falsification are ethical/legal issues, not malpractice.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with end-stage congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes is receiving hospice care. Which action by the nurse demonstrates an understanding of the client's condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In hospice, comfort is prioritized; a small piece of cake aligns with the client’s enjoyment, given end-stage status. Glucose monitoring, fluid restriction, and visitor limits are less relevant.
Question 5 of 5
The client with chronic low back pain is having trouble sleeping at night. Which nonpharmacological therapy should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Progressive relaxation reduces muscle tension and promotes sleep, a safe nonpharmacological option. Acupuncture, massage, or herbs are less directly linked to sleep.
