Emergency and Disaster Nursing NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which situation requires the emergency department manager to schedule and conduct a Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: CISM addresses emotional trauma, critical for staff after a child’s death from abuse. CPR death is routine, bus accidents without fatalities are less traumatic, and long hours are logistical.
Question 2 of 5
Which expected outcome is priority for the nurse who is caring for a client with chest trauma from a gunshot injury?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Symmetrical chest expansion ensures adequate ventilation, critical in chest trauma to prevent pneumothorax or hemothorax. Pain, low BP, and urine output are secondary.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching CPR to a class. Which statement best explains the definition of sudden cardiac death?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sudden cardiac death is defined as death within 1 hour of cardiovascular symptoms, often due to arrhythmias. Ventilator removal, declaration time, and ischemia are related but not definitional.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse working in an outpatient clinic is caring for a client who is experiencing epistaxis. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Holding the nose for 15 minutes stops bleeding, the first intervention for epistaxis. BP, head tilting back (risks aspiration), and cauterization are secondary.
Question 5 of 5
Which signs/symptoms should the nurse assess in the client who has been exposed to the anthrax bacillus via the skin?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cutaneous anthrax presents with edema, pruritus, and a small ulcerated vesicle that becomes necrotic. Scabby vesicles, brownish-pink spots, and purple spots are not typical.
