Questions with Detailed Rationales | 100% Verified | Pass
Guaranteed – A+ Graded
Section A: Recognizing Cues – Assessment & Medication Data Collection
Q1: In the Juan Carlos vSim feedback log, which data cluster best supports a current
asthma exacerbation requiring immediate medication reassessment?
A. Peak flow 82% personal best, respiratory rate 18, SpO2 98% on room air
B. Peak flow 55% personal best, respiratory rate 34, SpO2 89%, supraclavicular
retractions [CORRECT]
C. Peak flow 75% personal best, respiratory rate 22, SpO2 95% on room air
D. Peak flow 90% personal best, respiratory rate 20, SpO2 97% after scheduled
bronchodilator
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct cluster combines a peak flow in the red zone with tachypnea,
hypoxemia, and accessory muscle use, indicating severe airflow limitation. The other
options are stable or only mildly reduced findings.
Q2: Before administering albuterol in the Juan Carlos scenario, which assessment
finding is most important for the nurse to document as a baseline in the feedback log?
A. Heart rate and respiratory rate immediately before inhalation [CORRECT]
B. Only the time the inhaler was last used
C. The brand color of the inhaler device
D. The parent’s preferred pharmacy
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Beta-agonist bronchodilators require pre-dose vital signs because
tachycardia and tremor are expected adverse effects. Device color, pharmacy
preference, and prior use time alone do not establish the needed physiological baseline.
Q3: Which vSim interface action correctly aligns with the feedback-log requirement to
“recognize cues” during medication safety review?
, A. Selecting only abnormal vital signs while ignoring family report
B. Linking Juan Carlos’s wheeze, SpO2, peak flow, and recent inhaler use to the
medication problem [CORRECT]
C. Documenting the final diagnosis before assessing lung sounds
D. Marking all cues as resolved after one breathing treatment
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Recognizing cues requires integrating subjective, objective, and
medication-use data. Isolating only vitals, diagnosing first, or assuming resolution after
one treatment fragments the clinical picture.
Q4: Which medication history detail is most relevant to identifying polypharmacy risk for
Juan Carlos?
A. Daily low-dose vitamin use without other medications
B. Use of prescribed controller inhaler plus over-the-counter decongestant and herbal
“lung tonic” [CORRECT]
C. One course of antibiotics completed six months ago
D. Use of sunscreen during outdoor recess
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Concurrent prescription, OTC sympathomimetic, and herbal products can
increase tachycardia, blood pressure effects, and interaction risk. The other choices are
not clinically relevant to current bronchodilator or interaction assessment.
Q5: During SBAR handoff for Juan Carlos, which statement belongs under
“Assessment” rather than “Situation” or “Recommendation”?
A. “He received albuterol at 14:10 with temporary improvement.”
B. “I think he is experiencing a moderate asthma exacerbation with partial response to
bronchodilator.” [CORRECT]
C. “Please evaluate for magnesium sulfate if he remains in the red zone.”
D. “He is a 9-year-old with wheezing that started after soccer practice.”
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assessment is the nurse’s clinical judgment of the problem and response.
Timing of treatment is background/situation, escalation request is recommendation,
and onset demographics are situation/background.
