Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
Renal Function and Disorders
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Endocrine and Metabolic Conditions
Nursing Clinical Judgment & Prioritization
This assessment evaluates the student’s ability to apply nursing knowledge and clinical
reasoning in adult health scenarios, focusing on common acute and chronic conditions.
Candidates are expected to demonstrate prioritization, patient safety awareness, and
evidence-based intervention selection. The questions are designed to reflect real-world
clinical decision-making and nursing responsibilities in diverse healthcare settings.
,Candidates must complete all questions within the allotted time. Read each question
thoroughly and choose the most appropriate answer based on nursing standards and
patient-centered care principles. No external materials are permitted. Manage your time
effectively to ensure completion of all 50 questions.
Q1. A nurse is caring for a patient with acute decompensated heart failure who presents
with dyspnea, crackles, and peripheral edema. Which intervention should the nurse
prioritize first?
A. Administer IV furosemide
B. Elevate the head of the bed
C. Restrict oral fluids
D. Obtain daily weight
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Elevate the head of the bed
Explanation: 🟡 Positioning the patient upright improves lung expansion and decreases
venous return, immediately relieving dyspnea. IV diuretics are important but not as
immediate as positioning. Fluid restriction and daily weights are long-term management
strategies, not urgent interventions.
, Q2. A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has an oxygen saturation
of 88%. What is the nurse’s best action?
A. Increase oxygen to 6 L/min
B. Maintain oxygen at low flow (1–2 L/min)
C. Discontinue oxygen therapy
D. Encourage rapid deep breathing
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Maintain oxygen at low flow (1–2 L/min)
Explanation: 🟡 COPD patients rely on hypoxic drive; excessive oxygen can suppress
respiratory drive. Increasing to 6 L/min risks CO₂ retention. Discontinuing oxygen is unsafe,
and rapid breathing increases fatigue.
Q3. A nurse notes a potassium level of 6.2 mEq/L. Which assessment finding requires
immediate intervention?
A. Muscle weakness
B. Bradycardia
C. Diarrhea
D. Hypotension
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Bradycardia
Explanation: 🟡 Hyperkalemia can cause life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias. Bradycardia
