Practice CNOR TEST 2025
Questions and Answers
Aseptic technique is
A. Clean technique
B. Sterile technique
C. Sterilization
D. Decontamination - ANSWER✔✔-Option A is correct. Aseptic technique refers to
clean methods of containing microbial contamination in the environment. The
environment cannot be sterilized.
An intrinsic factor that contributes to the development of a pressure injury
A. Pressure
B. Hypothermia
C. Diabetes mellitus
,D. General anesthesia - ANSWER✔✔-Option C is correct. An intrinsic factor is related
to the health of the patient. Diabetes mellitus is an intrinsic factor that contributes to the
development of a pressure injury.
3. Which of the following helps determine a pt discharge destination
A. Written d/c instructions from anesthesiology and medical staff.
B. Risk of postoperative complications
C. Standardized pain scoring
D. General condition and readiness for discharge - ANSWER✔✔-Option B is correct.
The choice of discharge site is based on patient acuity, access to follow-up care, and the
potential for postoperative complications.
4. Central nervous system ( CNS) signs and symptoms of local anesthetic systemic
toxicity (LAST) include
A. Hypertension
B numbness of the lips and tongue
C. Respiratory depression
D. Elevated temperature - ANSWER✔✔-Option B is correct. CNS symptoms of LAST
include circumoral and tongue numbness.All other options are not considered part of
the CNS.
,5. Autologous bone grafts should be stored at a temperature of
A. 68 F ( 20C)
B. 32 F ( 0 C)
C. - 4 F ( - 20C)
D. -122 F (-80C) - ANSWER✔✔-Option C is correct. Maintaining storage temperatures
within recommended parameters of -4 °F (-20 °C) helps ensure that autografts are
maintained in optimal conditions for successful replantation.
6. When providing pt education for a child, it is important to understand which
learning characteristics of kids
A. Children are self- directed
B. Kids use intrinsic thought processes
C. Kids respond to the use of activities that follow transitions of maturity
D. Kids respond to a trial and error approach - ANSWER✔✔-Option D is correct. When
teaching children, using a trial and error approach is effective. Child learners are task-
oriented, use extrinsic thought processes, and value self-esteem.
7. Which of the following actions would decrease radiation exposure during
fluoroscopy procedures
A. Positioning pt as close to the tube as possible
, B. Positioning pt as far from the image intensifier as possible
C. Positioning pt as far from the monitor as possible
D. Positioning pt as close to the image as possible - ANSWER✔✔-Option D is correct.
The x-ray beams originate from the tube and are captured by the image intensifier.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that positioning the patient
closer to the image intensifier results in a significantly decreased dose of radiation.
8. A perioperative nurse is assisting an anesthesia with a rapid sequence induction by
providing cricoid pressure using the Sellick maneuver. Which of the following is the
most appropriate description of this technique
A. Exerting down and up pressure on the cricoid cartilage to compress the trachea
B. Palpating for the thyroid cartilage and exerting pressure on it with a dominant index
finger and thumb to occlude the esophagus
C applying pressure on cricoid cartilage to occlude the esophagus - ANSWER✔✔-D.
Maintaining pressure on the thyroid cartilage until anesthesia verifies placement
Option C is correct.
The Sellick maneuver, more commonly known as cricoid pressure application, involves
exerting downward pressure on the cricoid cartilage with the thumb and index finger of
one hand to compress the esophagus. The Sellick maneuver is used to prevent potential
aspiration during induction of anesthesia.
