Endocrine Disorders NCLEX Questions with Rationale Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

Which response by the nurse about potassium iodide (Lugol's solution) is correct?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Potassium iodide reduces thyroid vascularity, decreasing the risk of postoperative bleeding.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse observes a colleague caring for the client who had a hypophysectomy via the transsphenoidal approach 12 hours ago. Which action would require the observing nurse to intervene?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Nasal packing is left in place for 3-4 days post-hypophysectomy and should not be changed without an HCP order.

Question 3 of 5

Which electrolyte replacement should the nurse anticipate being ordered by the health-care provider in the client diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) who has just been admitted to the ICU?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: DKA causes potassium depletion due to acidosis and diuresis; replacement is anticipated to prevent arrhythmias. Glucose is not an electrolyte, and calcium/sodium are less critical.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for clients on an oncology floor. Which intervention should the nurse delegate to the UAP?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Assisting with positioning is within the UAP’s scope and promotes comfort. Monitoring drains, assessing sleep, and handling melena require RN skills.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is discussing the importance of exercising with a client diagnosed with type 2 diabetes whose diabetes is well controlled with diet and exercise. Which information should the nurse include in the teaching about diabetes?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Warm-up and cool-down exercises prevent injury during exercise, crucial for type 2 diabetics. Pre-exercise snacks are for insulin users, peanut butter is high-fat, and walking is good but not the focus.
