1. A nurse is caring for a patient who just returned from surgery. Which action
is most important to prevent postoperative complications?
A. Encourage verbal expression of feelings
B. Administer prescribed analgesics
C. Encourage early ambulation
D. Provide oral hygiene
Early ambulation reduces the risk of venous thromboembolism, pneumonia, and
promotes bowel function.
2. The nurse is preparing to administer an IM injection to a 70-kg adult. The
vial contains 100 mg/mL. The prescribed dose is 150 mg. How many mL
should the nurse administer?
A. 0.5 mL
B. 1.5 mL
C. 1 mL
D. 2 mL
,Dose calculation: 150 mg ÷ 100 mg/mL = 1.5 mL.
3. Which patient is at highest risk for developing a pressure injury?
A. 40-year-old post-C-section
B. 55-year-old with hypertension
C. 60-year-old ambulatory patient
D. 80-year-old with immobility and incontinence
Immobility, advanced age, and moisture increase risk for skin breakdown.
4. A patient is receiving IV vancomycin. Which assessment is most important
during infusion?
A. Heart rate and blood pressure
B. Monitor for red man syndrome
C. Assess urine output hourly
D. Check respiratory rate
Rapid infusion of vancomycin can cause red man syndrome (flushing, rash,
hypotension).
5. A nurse is reinforcing teaching about wound care for a patient with a new
surgical incision. Which statement by the patient indicates understanding?
A. “I can remove the dressing whenever I feel like it.”
B. “I will wash my hands before changing the dressing.”
C. “I will apply hydrogen peroxide daily.”
D. “I do not need to report any drainage.”
Hand hygiene prevents infection; avoid harmful topical agents unless prescribed.
6. The nurse is caring for a client with heart failure. Which position promotes
optimal breathing?
, A. Supine
B. High Fowler’s
C. Trendelenburg
D. Prone
High Fowler’s position improves lung expansion and eases dyspnea.
7. A patient asks about the purpose of a nebulizer. The best response by the
nurse is:
A. “It is used to measure lung volume.”
B. “It replaces your inhaler permanently.”
C. “It delivers medication directly into your lungs.”
D. “It removes mucus from your stomach.”
Nebulizers aerosolize medication for direct delivery to the respiratory tract.
8. A nurse is performing hand hygiene. Which action is most effective?
A. Rinse with cold water only
B. Rub hands together with soap for at least 20 seconds
C. Quickly rinse and dry with towel
D. Wear gloves without washing hands
Proper hand hygiene with soap and friction reduces pathogen transmission.
9. A nurse is planning care for a patient with diabetes. Which is most
important to include?
A. Encourage high-carb snacks
B. Avoid monitoring blood glucose
C. Educate on foot care and daily inspection
D. Restrict protein intake
