1A nurse is preparing to perform hand hygiene before an aseptic procedure. According to WHO 'Five Moments for Hand Hygiene', which moment does this represent?
A.Moment 2: Before a clean/aseptic procedure
B.Moment 1: Before touching a patient
C.Moment 3: After body fluid exposure risk
D.Moment 5: After touching patient surroundings
Explanation: WHO Moment 2 'Before a clean/aseptic procedure' protects the patient from harmful organisms, including their own, entering their body. Hand hygiene immediately before any aseptic task (e.g., IV insertion, wound care) is essential.
2A nurse must administer 500 mL of normal saline over 4 hours using an infusion set with a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. What is the correct flow rate in drops per minute?
A.21 gtt/min
B.42 gtt/min
C.31 gtt/min
D.63 gtt/min
Explanation: Flow rate (gtt/min) = (volume x drop factor) / (time in minutes). (500 x 15) / (4 x 60) = 7500 / 240 = 31.25, rounded to 31 gtt/min.
3A nurse is caring for several patients. Using the ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) priority framework, which patient should be assessed FIRST?
A.A patient reporting pain at the surgical site rated 6/10
B.A patient requesting assistance to the bathroom
C.A patient whose IV fluid bag is nearly empty
D.A patient with an oxygen saturation of 86% and audible wheezing
Explanation: Airway and breathing problems take priority over all other needs. An oxygen saturation of 86% with wheezing indicates compromised breathing and requires immediate intervention to prevent hypoxia.
4Which sequence correctly describes the steps of the nursing process?
A.Diagnosis, Assessment, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation
B.Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation
C.Assessment, Planning, Diagnosis, Evaluation, Implementation
D.Planning, Assessment, Implementation, Diagnosis, Evaluation
Explanation: The nursing process (ADPIE) follows Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data collection (assessment) must come first to form an accurate nursing diagnosis and guide care.
5A nurse measures an adult patient's blood pressure as 148/92 mmHg on two separate readings. According to common clinical classification, this most closely corresponds to which category?
A.Stage 2 hypertension
B.Normal blood pressure
C.Elevated blood pressure
D.Stage 1 hypertension
Explanation: Using the ACC/AHA classification, a systolic of 140 mmHg or higher OR a diastolic of 90 mmHg or higher is Stage 2 hypertension. With 148/92, both values fall in the Stage 2 range, so the higher category applies.
6A nurse is about to perform tracheal suctioning on a patient with an artificial airway. Which type of personal protective equipment and technique is required?
A.Clean gloves and clean technique
B.No gloves but a surgical mask only
C.Sterile gloves and sterile technique
D.Double gloving with clean technique
Explanation: Tracheal/endotracheal suctioning is a sterile procedure because the lower airway is normally sterile and easily contaminated. Sterile gloves and sterile technique reduce the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
7A nurse identifies a stage 2 pressure injury on a patient's sacrum. Which description matches a stage 2 pressure injury?
A.Intact skin with non-blanchable erythema
B.Full-thickness skin loss with visible subcutaneous fat
C.Full-thickness loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle
D.Partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis, presenting as a shallow open ulcer or intact/ruptured blister
Explanation: A stage 2 pressure injury involves partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis, appearing as a shallow open ulcer or an intact/ruptured serum-filled blister. The wound bed is viable, pink or red, and moist.
8A patient's laboratory results show a serum potassium of 6.2 mEq/L. Which finding should the nurse monitor for most urgently?
A.Muscle weakness and constipation
B.Peaked T waves and cardiac dysrhythmias on the ECG
C.Increased deep tendon reflexes and tetany
D.Polyuria and increased thirst
Explanation: Hyperkalemia (above 5.0 mEq/L) affects cardiac conduction. The classic and most dangerous ECG change is peaked T waves, which can progress to widened QRS, ventricular fibrillation, and cardiac arrest, requiring urgent monitoring.
9The physician orders 750 mg of an antibiotic. The medication is available as 250 mg per 5 mL oral suspension. How many milliliters should the nurse administer?
A.15 mL
B.10 mL
C.20 mL
D.7.5 mL
Explanation: Using the formula (desired/available) x quantity: (750 mg / 250 mg) x 5 mL = 3 x 5 mL = 15 mL. The nurse should administer 15 mL.
10Before administering any medication, the nurse verifies the 'rights' of medication administration. Which of the following is one of the recognized rights?
A.Right physician
B.Right pharmacy
C.Right documentation
D.Right insurance
Explanation: Right documentation is one of the expanded rights of medication administration, along with right patient, drug, dose, route, time, reason, and response. Documentation must occur only after the drug is given.
