ACTUAL QUESTIONS
Domain 1: Pre-Procedure Assessment & Patient Preparation
Question 1. Before an elective colonoscopy, the most important pre-procedure nursing
assessment related to bowel preparation is verification of:
A. Only the client’s preferred beverage
B. Completion and adequacy of bowel cleansing so that the mucosa can be adequately visualized
C. Only the time of the last solid meal without assessing stool character
D. Only the client’s height and weight
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Adequate bowel preparation is essential for safe and complete mucosal inspection; residual
solid stool increases the risk of missed lesions and prolongs the procedure.
Question 2. A client scheduled for upper endoscopy reports a true egg allergy. The nurse
recognizes that this history is most relevant to which sedative agent?
A. Midazolam
B. Propofol, because some formulations contain egg lecithin
C. Fentanyl
D. Meperidine
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Some propofol emulsions contain egg-derived components; a documented egg allergy is
treated as a relative or absolute contraindication depending on institutional policy and the severity of
the reaction.
Question 3. Informed consent for an endoscopic procedure must include discussion of:
A. Only the expected benefits
B. Risks, benefits, alternatives, and the possibility of incomplete examination or need for additional
procedures
C. Only the name of the endoscopist
D. Only the estimated duration of the procedure
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Valid informed consent requires disclosure of material risks (bleeding, perforation, sedation-
related events), benefits, alternatives, and the possibility that the examination may be incomplete.
Question 4. Which pre-procedure laboratory value is most critical to examination before
polypectomy or biopsy in a client taking warfarin?
A. Serum potassium
B. INR (or PT/INR) to assess coagulation status and bleeding risk
C. Serum amylase only
D. Fasting glucose only
Correct Answer: B
