RN MED-SURG EXAM SUCCESS
Question 1
A nurse is caring for a client who has just been admitted to the emergency
department (ED). Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to
specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, 2 actions the nurse
should take to address that condition, and 2 parameters the nurse should monitor
to assess the client’s progress.
Vital Signs:
Temperature 39.2°C (102.6°F)
Heart rate 115/min
Respiratory rate 12/min
Blood pressure 98/64 mm Hg
Oxygen saturation 94% on room air
,Actions to Take:
A) Administer gabapentin
B) Decrease environmental stimuli
C) Prepare the client for surgery
D) Administer sumatriptan
E) Initiate neurological checks every 2 hr
Potential Conditions:
A) Meningitis
B) Migraine headache
C) Hydrocephalus
D) Septic shock
Parameters to Monitor:
A) Gait
B) Bowel sounds
C) Vascular changes
D) Temperature
E) Lactate level
🔵 Correct Answers:
Potential Condition: Septic shock
Actions to Take: Prepare the client for surgery; Initiate neurological checks
every 2 hr
Parameters to Monitor: Temperature; Lactate level
🟢 The client’s elevated temperature, tachycardia, and hypotension are findings
consistent with septic shock. Monitoring temperature and lactate levels helps
evaluate worsening sepsis and tissue perfusion. Prompt interventions are
necessary to prevent progression to organ dysfunction.
Question 2
,A nurse is assessing an older adult client at a health fair. Which of the following
statements by the client is the nurse's priority?
A) “I've noticed that there is a gray ring around the colored part of my eye.”
B) “I'm having more difficulty telling the difference between blues and greens.”
🔵
C) “I can't seem to get reading materials far enough away to see the words.”
D) “In the last day, I have had a severe headache and pain around my right
eye.”
🟢 Severe headache with eye pain can indicate acute angle-closure glaucoma,
which is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention to prevent
permanent vision loss. The other findings are expected age-related changes.
Question 3
, A nurse is performing a cranial nerve assessment on a client following a head
injury. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect if the client has
impaired function of the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII)?
🔵
A) Loss of peripheral vision
B) Disequilibrium with movement
C) Deviation of the tongue from midline
D) Inability to smell
🟢 The vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII) is responsible for hearing
and balance. Impairment commonly results in dizziness, vertigo, or
disequilibrium. The other findings relate to different cranial nerves.
