Emergency Nursing NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which situation warrants the nurse obtaining information from a material safety data sheet (MSDS)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: MSDS provides handling and exposure information for chemical spills like solvents. Antineoplastic spills require specific protocols, and needle sticks or falls involve infection control or safety protocols, not MSDS.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on bioterrorism and is discussing personal protective equipment (PPE). Which statement is the most important fact for the nurse to share with the participants?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Proper PPE training ensures safe use, critical for protection. Mask placement, hazard specificity, and EPA levels are secondary.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client in the ED with abdominal trauma who has had peritoneal lavage. Which intervention should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Peritoneal lavage detects blood, bile, or feces, indicating internal injury. Femoral pulses, Leopold’s maneuver (pregnancy), and diet history are irrelevant.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client home care instructions for a reimplanted finger after a traumatic amputation. Which information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Protecting the reimplanted finger prevents reinjury, critical for healing. ROM timing varies, smoking impairs circulation, and multiple symptoms warrant HCP contact.
Question 5 of 5
The client presents to the ED with acute vomiting after eating at a fast-food restaurant. There has not been any diarrhea. The nurse suspects botulism poisoning. Which nursing problem is the highest priority for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Botulism causes progressive paralysis, including respiratory muscles, making respiratory paralysis the highest priority. Fluid loss, pain, and anxiety are secondary.
