Question: 1 of 1000
A nurse is preparing to assess a patient's blood pressure using a manual
sphygmomanometer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
• Position the patient's arm above the level of the heart
• Wrap the cuff around the patient's bare arm with the bladder centered over the
brachial artery
• Deflate the cuff rapidly at a rate of 10 mm Hg per second
• Place the stethoscope under the cuff to ensure proper placement
Answer: Wrap the cuff around the patient's bare arm with the bladder centered
over the brachial artery
Examiner Note: The cuff should be placed on a bare arm with the bladder centered
over the brachial artery. The arm should be supported at heart level, the cuff should be
deflated at a rate of 2 to 3 mm Hg per second, and the stethoscope should be placed
over the artery, not under the cuff.
Question: 2 of 1000
A nurse is caring for a patient who has a new diagnosis of urinary incontinence. Which
of the following interventions should the nurse implement first?
• Apply an external urinary catheter
• Encourage the patient to void every 4 hours
• Assess the patient's toileting patterns and mobility
• Insert an indwelling urinary catheter
Answer: Assess the patient's toileting patterns and mobility
Examiner Note: Assessment is the first step in managing urinary incontinence. The
nurse should assess the patient's patterns, mobility, cognitive status, and environment
,before implementing interventions such as scheduled toileting, prompted voiding, or
bladder training.
Question: 3 of 1000
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a patient about a new prescription for a
wound vac (negative pressure wound therapy). Which of the following instructions
should the nurse include?
• "Change the dressing every 24 hours."
• "Report any foul odor or purulent drainage to your provider."
• "The device will continuously apply high-pressure suction."
• "You may shower with the device in place."
Answer: "Report any foul odor or purulent drainage to your provider."
Examiner Note: Signs of infection such as foul odor, purulent drainage, fever, or
increased pain should be reported immediately. Dressings are typically changed every
48 to 72 hours, the device applies negative pressure (not high pressure), and showering
is usually not permitted with the device in place.
Question: 4 of 1000
A nurse is assessing a patient who has a newly placed percutaneous endoscopic
gastrostomy (PEG) tube. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the
provider?
• Slight erythema at the insertion site
• Tube that is secure and intact
• Aspirate pH of 4
• Dressing with a small amount of serosanguineous drainage
Answer: Slight erythema at the insertion site
, Examiner Note: Erythema, warmth, swelling, or purulent drainage at the PEG site may
indicate infection and should be reported. Slight serosanguineous drainage is expected
immediately after placement, a secure tube is desired, and gastric pH of 4 confirms
placement.
Question: 5 of 1000
A nurse is preparing to administer a rectal suppository to a patient. Which of the
following actions should the nurse take?
• Insert the suppository 1 to 2 inches into the rectum
• Position the patient in the supine position
• Lubricate the suppository with petroleum jelly
• Instruct the patient to bear down during insertion
Answer: Insert the suppository 1 to 2 inches into the rectum
Examiner Note: Rectal suppositories should be inserted 1 to 2 inches (3 to 5 cm)
beyond the internal anal sphincter to prevent expulsion. The patient should be
positioned in the left lateral (Sims') position, water-soluble lubricant should be used, and
the patient should be instructed to take a deep breath and relax during insertion.
Question: 6 of 1000
