Extract:
Question 1 of 5
What type of procedural information should be given to a client in preparation for ambulatory surgery? (Select All that Apply)
Correct Answer: B,E,F
Rationale: Preoperative fasting reduces aspiration risk. Postoperative care information aids recovery preparation. Surgical procedure details ensure informed consent. Nail polish and jewelry must be removed to avoid monitoring interference and equipment risks. Operating vital signs machines is not relevant for clients.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer lidocaine 50 mg IV bolus. Available is lidocaine 200 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Volume = dose/concentration = 50/200 = 0.25 mL = 0.3 mL (rounded to the nearest tenth).
Question 3 of 5
A client asks the nurse why they cannot consume food or liquids before surgery. Which response is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fasting before surgery reduces stomach contents, lowering the risk of aspiration during anesthesia. Peristalsis slowing is not the primary concern. Fasting is not primarily for fluid/electrolyte balance. Fasting does not directly relate to Foley catheter use.
Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving diazepam prior to a procedure. Which side effect should the nurse be most concerned about?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hyperthermia is not commonly associated with diazepam. Hypertension is not a common concern with diazepam use. Tachycardia is not a significant side effect of diazepam. Respiratory depression is the most serious and potentially life-threatening side effect of diazepam, requiring close monitoring.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to transfer a client from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Which assessment findings would delay the transfer of the client? (Select All that Apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C
Rationale: Absence of gag reflex increases aspiration risk. A respiratory rate of 6 breaths per minute indicates respiratory depression, requiring intervention. Cough is a protective reflex, and other findings are normal, not delaying transfer.
