Q1.
A nurse is caring for a 62-year-old client who is 12 hours postoperative following abdominal
surgery. The client reports increasing abdominal pain that is not relieved by prescribed
analgesics. The nurse observes that the client’s abdomen is distended and firm, the surgical
, dressing shows fresh sanguineous drainage, and vital signs include BP 88/58 mmHg, HR
118 bpm, and RR 24/min.
What is the nurse’s PRIORITY action?
A. Administer another dose of analgesic
B. Reinforce the dressing and reassess later
C. Notify the provider immediately and initiate rapid assessment
D. Document findings
Answer: C
Rationale:
This client is showing signs of internal bleeding and hypovolemic shock (hypotension,
tachycardia, distention, fresh bleeding). The nurse must act immediately to prevent
deterioration.
Q2.
A nurse is caring for a client with a history of stroke who is being fed orally. During feeding,
the client begins coughing and develops a wet, gurgling voice. Oxygen saturation drops
from 96% to 90%.
What is the nurse’s FIRST action?
A. Continue feeding slowly
B. Notify the provider
C. Document findings
D. Stop feeding and position the client upright
Answer: D
Rationale:
These are signs of aspiration, which can compromise the airway. Immediate action is to
stop feeding and protect airway.
Q3.
A nurse is caring for a client receiving IV fluids. The nurse observes that the IV site is
swollen, cool, and pale. The client reports discomfort, and the infusion rate appears slowed.
What is the nurse’s FIRST action?
