, Question 1
A patient with a recent spinal cord injury (T6) is being positioned in bed.
Which of the following actions best prevents autonomic dysreflexia during
repositioning?
A. Elevating the head of the bed to 90 degrees before turning
B. Ensuring the bladder is empty and avoiding tight clothing
C. Administering a prophylactic antihypertensive medication
D. Performing range-of-motion exercises to the lower extremities
Correct Answer: B - Ensuring the bladder is empty and avoiding
tight clothing
RATIONALE
Autonomic dysreflexia is triggered by noxious stimuli below the level
of injury, most commonly bladder distension or skin irritation.
Ensuring an empty bladder and loosening tight clothing removes
common triggers. Elevating the head of the bed may help manage
hypertension but does not prevent the trigger. Prophylactic
antihypertensives are not standard, and ROM to lower extremities
could exacerbate spasticity and trigger dysreflexia.
Question 2
A patient with Parkinson's disease exhibits bradykinesia and rigidity. Which
nursing intervention is most effective in improving mobility?
A. Encouraging rapid, forceful movements to overcome rigidity
B. Scheduling physical therapy immediately after meals
C. Using visual and auditory cues to initiate movement
D. Administering levodopa-carbidopa on an empty stomach
Correct Answer: C - Using visual and auditory cues to initiate
movement
Page 2
, RATIONALE
Visual and auditory cues (e.g., counting, stepping over lines) help
bypass the basal ganglia dysfunction and improve initiation of
movement in Parkinson's. Rapid forceful movements increase fall risk.
Physical therapy after meals may be uncomfortable due to
postprandial somnolence. Levodopa timing is important but not
directly a mobility intervention during an episode.
Question 3
Which of the following best explains why a patient with a below-the-knee
amputation should avoid prolonged sitting with the knee flexed?
A. It increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis in the residual limb.
B. It leads to hip flexion contracture and limits prosthetic fitting.
C. It causes excessive pressure on the sciatic nerve.
D. It reduces venous return and causes edema in the residual limb.
Correct Answer: B - It leads to hip flexion contracture and limits
prosthetic fitting.
RATIONALE
Prolonged knee flexion after a below-the-knee amputation can cause
flexion contracture of the knee, which impairs the ability to fit and use
a prosthesis. While DVT and edema are concerns, they are not the
primary reason for avoiding prolonged flexion. Sciatic nerve pressure
is not the main issue.
Question 4
A patient is prescribed a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine after total
knee arthroplasty. Which parameter should the nurse verify before initiating
therapy?
A. The machine's cycle speed is set to the highest setting for maximum
benefit.
B. The patient's pain is controlled and the extremity is properly aligned.
Page 3
, C. The machine is placed directly under the knee without padding.
D. The patient's leg is secured tightly to prevent any movement.
Correct Answer: B - The patient's pain is controlled and the
extremity is properly aligned.
RATIONALE
Before CPM, ensure pain is managed and the leg is aligned to prevent
injury. Speed should be per order, not maximal. Padding is used to
prevent pressure. The leg should be secured but not tightly to avoid
constriction.
Question 5
A patient with a history of falls is being assessed for gait and balance. Which
tool is most appropriate for predicting fall risk in a hospitalized older adult?
A. Braden Scale
B. Morse Fall Scale
C. Glasgow Coma Scale
D. Norton Scale
Correct Answer: B - Morse Fall Scale
RATIONALE
The Morse Fall Scale is specifically designed to assess fall risk in
hospitalized patients. The Braden Scale assesses pressure ulcer risk.
The Glasgow Coma Scale assesses level of consciousness. The Norton
Scale assesses pressure ulcer risk.
Question 6
Which of the following is the priority nursing action when a patient with a new
order for physical therapy complains of sudden, severe calf pain and swelling?
A. Apply warm compresses to the calf and continue with therapy.
B. Massage the calf to relieve pain and improve circulation.
C. Hold therapy, notify the provider, and assess for DVT.
