, 1. Deep Overview
2. 25 NCLEX-Style Practice Questions
3. Multi-System Disorders Quick Reference Chart
4. Free Nursing Study Tools
This quiz reinforces critical thinking for patients with multiple comorbidities affecting more than
one body system. It emphasizes prioritization, lab interpretation, and nursing interventions.
Multi-system disorders require careful assessment and prioritization
Nurses must integrate knowledge across body systems to prevent complications
Critical for NCLEX and HESI success
1. Assess ABCs and monitor all vital systems
2. Evaluate labs and clinical signs for multiple organ involvement
3. Administer medications and interventions safely
4. Prioritize urgent changes over routine care
5. Educate patients and families about disease management
Q1. Patient with CHF and CKD reports dyspnea and low urine output. Priority action?
✅ A. Assess vitals, administer oxygen, notify provider
Rationale: CHF exacerbation with renal involvement may cause fluid overload; prompt
intervention needed.
Q2. Patient with COPD and diabetes shows O2 sat 88% and glucose 320 mg/dL. Nursing
priority?
✅ A. Assess respiratory status, oxygen, and glucose management
Rationale: Hypoxia takes priority; hyperglycemia is secondary but requires monitoring.
Q3. Patient with liver failure and coagulopathy shows petechiae. Nursing action?
✅ A. Implement bleeding precautions, monitor labs
Rationale: Coagulopathy increases bleeding risk; early intervention prevents hemorrhage.
