Sample Tamil Nadu HSE Second Year Nursing (General) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Tamil Nadu HSE Second Year Nursing (General) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1The primary goal of nursing is best described as:
A.Performing surgery under supervision
B.Promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for the sick and dying
C.Prescribing medications independently
D.Diagnosing medical diseases
Explanation: Standard nursing philosophy centers on holistic care: health promotion, illness prevention, recovery support, and comfort for the dying—not independent diagnosis or surgery.
2Which principle of body mechanics helps prevent back injury when lifting a patient?
A.Lift with the arms only, keeping the back arched
B.Keep the load close to the body and bend the knees
C.Twist the trunk while lifting to save steps
D.Bend at the waist with locked knees
Explanation: Safe lifting uses a wide base of support, bent knees, straight back, and the load held close to the center of gravity so large leg muscles do the work.
3The most reliable method to identify a patient before giving medication is:
A.Calling the patient by first name only
B.Asking a visitor to confirm identity
C.Checking the bed number
D.Using two unique identifiers such as name and hospital ID number
Explanation: Patient safety standards require at least two unique identifiers (e.g., full name and ID number) before any medication or procedure; bed numbers and first names alone are unreliable.
4Which position is preferred for a patient in respiratory distress who is conscious?
A.Fowler's or high Fowler's position
B.Prone with head turned
C.Trendelenburg
D.Supine flat
Explanation: Fowler's (semi-sitting) or high Fowler's improves lung expansion and reduces work of breathing in conscious patients with dyspnea.
5Oral temperature is contraindicated when the patient:
A.Has an intact oral mucosa
B.Is breathing comfortably through the nose
C.Has recently finished a cold drink only 2 minutes ago
D.Is fully conscious and cooperative
Explanation: Recent hot/cold intake, smoking, or oxygen by mask can alter oral readings; wait about 15–30 minutes after oral intake. Unconsciousness, oral surgery, seizures, and mouth breathing are also contraindications.
6The 'rights' of medication administration classically include all EXCEPT:
A.Right patient
B.Right drug
C.Right diagnosis code
D.Right dose, route, and time
Explanation: Core medication rights are right patient, drug, dose, route, time (and often documentation, reason, response, education). A diagnosis code is not one of the classic medication rights.
7Bed sores (pressure ulcers) are most effectively prevented by:
A.Regular repositioning, skin inspection, nutrition, and pressure relief
B.Massaging reddened bony areas vigorously every hour
C.Keeping the patient completely immobile to rest the skin
D.Applying tight dressings over all pressure points
Explanation: Pressure-ulcer prevention relies on turning schedules (often every 2 hours), moisture control, nutrition/hydration, support surfaces, and early detection of non-blanching erythema—not vigorous massage of red areas.
8Which nursing process step comes immediately after assessment?
A.Evaluation
B.Implementation
C.Diagnosis (nursing diagnosis/problem identification)
D.Documentation only
Explanation: The nursing process is assessment → nursing diagnosis/problem identification → planning → implementation → evaluation (ADPIE).
9Aseptic technique aims primarily to:
A.Prevent introduction of pathogens into a susceptible site
B.Kill all normal flora permanently
C.Sterilize the patient's entire body
D.Replace hand hygiene completely
Explanation: Asepsis reduces or eliminates pathogenic microorganisms from equipment and the field to protect wounds, body cavities, and sterile sites. Hand hygiene remains fundamental.
10When making an occupied bed, the nurse should first:
A.Lower the bed to the lowest height before any linen change
B.Raise both side rails and leave the patient unattended
C.Pull all sheets out from under the patient at once
D.Explain the procedure, ensure privacy, and position the patient safely to one side
Explanation: Explain, provide privacy, adjust bed height for nurse safety, roll the patient carefully, and change linen side-to-side while maintaining alignment and dignity.
