Emergency Nursing NCLEX Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement explains the scientific rationale for having emergency suction equipment available during resuscitation efforts?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Suction equipment clears vomit or secretions, ensuring a patent airway during resuscitation. Gastric distention, intubation, and HCP protection are secondary concerns.
Question 4 of 5
The health-care facility has been notified an alleged inhalation anthrax exposure has occurred at the local post office. Which category of personal protective equipment (PPE) should the response team wear?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Level C PPE (respirator and protective suit) is appropriate for inhalation anthrax, balancing protection and mobility. Level A is for highest risk, Level B for chemical hazards, and Level D is minimal.
Question 5 of 5
The client has expired secondary to smallpox. Which information about funeral arrangements is most important for the nurse to provide to the client’s family?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Notifying the public health department is critical for smallpox, a highly contagious disease, to ensure containment. Cremation, open caskets, and rapid burial are secondary.
