1What is the correct logical sequence of the five phases comprising the Nursing Process?
A.Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation
B.Diagnosis, Assessment, Implementation, Planning, Evaluation
C.Assessment, Planning, Diagnosis, Evaluation, Implementation
D.Planning, Assessment, Implementation, Evaluation, Diagnosis
Explanation: The nursing process is a systematic, client-centered, problem-solving framework consisting of five sequential phases: Assessment (systematic collection of subjective and objective data), Diagnosis (analyzing data to identify nursing problems), Planning (setting patient-centered goals and selecting nursing interventions), Implementation (executing the planned nursing care), and Evaluation (measuring patient progress toward goals).
2During an admission assessment of a patient with pneumonia, which of the following clinical findings is classified as 'objective data'?
A.A respiratory rate of 28 breaths per minute and fine inspiratory crackles auscultated at the right lung base
B.The patient stating, 'I feel like I cannot catch my breath when I lie flat.'
C.The patient describing sharp chest pain rated 7 out of 10 on deep breathing
D.The patient reporting feeling anxious and exhausted after walking to the bathroom
Explanation: Objective data (signs) consists of observable, measurable findings obtained through physical examination, clinical inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, or diagnostic tests. Respiratory rate and auscultated lung sounds are directly measurable and verifiable by the nurse. In contrast, patient statements regarding dyspnea, pain ratings, and fatigue are subjective data (symptoms) reported from the client's internal perception.
3According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Healthcare, which of the following is designated as Moment 2 of the 'My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene'?
A.Immediately before performing a clean or aseptic procedure
B.Before touching a patient upon entering the room
C.After body fluid exposure risk
D.After touching patient surroundings
Explanation: WHO's 'My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene' are: 1) Before touching a patient; 2) Immediately before performing a clean or aseptic procedure (e.g., wound dressing, inserting a urinary catheter, administering an injection); 3) After body fluid exposure risk; 4) After touching a patient; 5) After touching patient surroundings. Performing hand hygiene before an aseptic procedure prevents colonizing pathogens on the healthcare worker's hands from entering sterile patient sites.
4What is the correct protocol for safely removing (doffing) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) after caring for an isolated patient to minimize self-contamination, when using gloves, gown, face shield, and particulate respirator?
A.Remove gloves and gown (most contaminated first), perform hand hygiene, remove eye protection, remove respirator outside the room, and perform hand hygiene again.
B.Remove the respirator first, then gloves, then gown, and leave eye protection in place.
C.Remove gown, respirator, gloves, and eye protection simultaneously in one bundle.
D.Remove gloves, leave all other PPE on, and wash hands over the gown.
Explanation: Doffing PPE proceeds from the most contaminated items to the cleanest: 1) Remove gloves and gown (often peeled together or gloves first, followed immediately by hand hygiene); 2) Remove face shield or goggles touching only the earpieces/strap; 3) Remove mask/respirator by grasping the bottom then top ties/straps (never touching the front filter); 4) Immediately perform thorough hand hygiene. Respirators are always removed outside the airborne isolation room.
5A patient with suspected active cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis is admitted to the medical ward. Which specific infection control precautions must the nurse implement?
A.Airborne precautions: promptly separate the patient in an appropriate well-ventilated isolation area, use a fit-tested particulate respirator, and follow the facility's tuberculosis controls
B.Standard precautions only, placing the patient in an open multi-bed ward.
C.Contact precautions: wearing a gown and gloves only, with no respiratory protection.
D.Droplet precautions: placing the patient in a positive-pressure room with surgical paper masks.
Explanation: Pulmonary tuberculosis spreads through infectious airborne particles. The nurse should promptly separate the patient, maximise safe ventilation or use an available airborne-infection isolation room, apply cough/source-control measures, and wear a fit-tested particulate respirator according to the respiratory-protection programme. A fixed engineering specification should not be presented as the only safe response in every resource setting.
6When setting up and maintaining a sterile field for a complex surgical dressing change, which action by the nurse maintains surgical asepsis?
A.Keeping sterile gloved hands above waist level and in sight at all times, and treating the outer 1-inch (2.5 cm) border of the sterile drape as non-sterile.
B.Turning the back completely to the sterile field to retrieve supplies from an adjacent counter.
C.Reaching across the open sterile field to pour saline into a sterile basin.
D.Resting sterile gloved hands below the level of the hips while waiting for the physician.
Explanation: Principles of surgical asepsis dictate that sterile objects must remain within the continuous field of vision and kept at or above waist level to prevent accidental unobserved contamination. Reaching across a sterile field drops airborne microorganisms from clothing/skin and is strictly avoided. The outer 1-inch (2.5 cm) perimeter of any sterile drape or wrapper is considered unsterile and may be handled with bare hands.
7Following the administration of an intramuscular injection, what is the mandatory nursing safety practice regarding needle disposal to prevent occupational sharps injury and bloodborne pathogen transmission?
A.Immediately dispose of the unshielded, uncapped needle and syringe into a designated puncture-resistant, tamper-proof sharps container at the point of use.
B.Manually recap the contaminated needle using both hands before disposal.
C.Bend or clip the contaminated needle with a pair of scissors before throwing it in the general trash.
D.Place the used syringe and needle on the patient's bedside table for disposal at the end of the shift.
Explanation: Occupational safety standards universally mandate that contaminated needles must never be manually recapped using a two-handed technique, bent, broken, or clipped by hand. Bending and recapping are the leading causes of accidental needlestick injuries. Needles must be discarded immediately into a rigid, puncture-resistant, leak-proof sharps box located within arm's reach of the procedure site.
8When measuring blood pressure with an aneroid sphygmomanometer, what is the expected clinical error if the nurse uses a cuff where the inflatable bladder is too narrow or too small for the patient's arm circumference?
A.The blood pressure reading will be falsely high (overestimated).
B.The blood pressure reading will be falsely low (underestimated).
C.The reading will remain perfectly accurate regardless of cuff size.
D.Only the pulse pressure will narrow with no change in systolic pressure.
Explanation: Proper blood pressure cuff sizing requires that the inflatable bladder length cover 75% to 100% of arm circumference and the bladder width cover at least 40% of the arm circumference. If a cuff is too small or too narrow for an arm (e.g., adult cuff on an obese arm), it cannot evenly transmit pressure to the brachial artery, requiring excessive cuff pressure to occlude the vessel and yielding a falsely elevated (overestimated) reading.
9A nurse assesses a patient for orthostatic hypotension. The patient's supine blood pressure is 138/84 mmHg with a heart rate of 72 bpm. Upon standing for 3 minutes, the patient reports lightheadedness, and the blood pressure is 114/72 mmHg with a heart rate of 96 bpm. Does this patient meet the clinical definition of orthostatic hypotension?
A.Yes; systolic blood pressure dropped by 24 mmHg (exceeding the diagnostic threshold of ≥20 mmHg).
B.No; diastolic blood pressure must drop by at least 30 mmHg to confirm orthostatic hypotension.
C.No; orthostatic hypotension can only be diagnosed if the heart rate drops below 50 bpm.
D.No; blood pressure changes are considered clinically insignificant unless systolic pressure drops below 90 mmHg.
Explanation: Orthostatic (postural) hypotension is clinically defined as a sustained drop in systolic blood pressure of at least 20 mmHg and/or a drop in diastolic blood pressure of at least 10 mmHg within 2 to 3 minutes of standing from a supine or seated position. Here, the systolic pressure fell from 138 to 114 mmHg (a 24 mmHg drop), fulfilling diagnostic criteria, while the compensatory heart rate increase (tachycardia) reflects autonomic baroreceptor response to venous pooling.
10Which of the following clinical factors can cause an inaccurate or unreliable pulse oximetry (SpO2) reading by disrupting optical light absorption through the sensor?
A.Severe peripheral hypoperfusion, hypothermia, dark nail polish, and carbon monoxide poisoning
B.Mild systemic hypertension with normal warm extremities
C.Administering supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 L/min
D.Normal sinus rhythm at 75 beats per minute
Explanation: Pulse oximeters rely on spectrophotometric absorption of red and infrared light through pulsatile vascular beds. Accuracy is compromised by: 1) poor peripheral perfusion (shock, hypovolemia, vasoconstriction, hypothermia); 2) optical barriers (dark or metallic nail polish, artificial nails); 3) motion artifact; 4) dyshemoglobinemias—in carbon monoxide poisoning, carboxyhemoglobin absorbs light similarly to oxyhemoglobin, causing falsely normal SpO2 readings despite severe tissue hypoxia.
