Emergency Nursing NCLEX Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
The nurse writes a nursing diagnosis of 'risk for injury as a result of physical abuse by spouse' for a client. Which is an appropriate goal for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Admitting abuse and seeking help is a realistic goal to reduce injury risk. Distrust, confronting the spouse, or staying are unsafe or neutral.
Question 3 of 5
The charge nurse has been notified that a disaster has occurred and that all possible clients should be discharged so the floor can receive the casualties. Which client should not be discharged?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A pulmonary embolus with INR 2.9 (therapeutic) requires ongoing anticoagulation and monitoring, precluding discharge.
Tonsillectomy, aneurysm surgery, and ADL refusal are less acute.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for a group of clients on a medical floor. Which action by the UAP warrants intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Urine specimens are not biohazardous unless visibly bloody; placing in a biohazard bag is incorrect and requires intervention. Hand cleansing, linen handling, and stethoscope use are appropriate.
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.
