CBN CERTIFICATION EXAM PREP WITH COMPLETE 300 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS/ GRADED A+ (MOST RECENT!!), with the strongest emphasis
placed on Apply current evidence-based guidelines to the comprehensive care of patients
undergoing bariatric surgery, Analyze and manage complex perioperative and postoperative
complications with advanced nursing interventions, Evaluate nutritional, metabolic and and
psychological needs to optimize long-term outcomes. Every item follows the wording style and
level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so the
correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own pace, mark the questions that
slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who revise
this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of meeting
them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper into a
comfortable pass.
Q1 APPLY CURRENT EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE CARE OF
PATIENTS UNDERGOING BARIATRIC SURGERY
A patient with a BMI of 48 and type 2 diabetes is being evaluated for bariatric
surgery. Which finding would most likely necessitate a delay or alteration of the
surgical plan?
A. HbA1c of 8.5% on triple oral therapy
B. Untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea CORRECT
C. History of a single episode of pulmonary embolism
D. Endoscopic evidence of erosive esophagitis
RATIONALE: Severe untreated OSA significantly increases perioperative risk and must be
managed preoperatively. While elevated HbA1c, prior PE, and erosive esophagitis require
optimization, they are not absolute contraindications. The presence of untreated OSA is a critical
modifiable risk factor that can lead to respiratory complications.

,Q2 APPLY CURRENT EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE CARE OF
PATIENTS UNDERGOING BARIATRIC SURGERY
Which postoperative finding is most indicative of an anastomotic leak after
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and what is the immediate nursing priority?
A. Tachycardia and shoulder pain; prepare for CT scan CORRECT
B. Nausea and vomiting; administer antiemetic
C. Abdominal pain and fever; obtain blood cultures
D. Hypotension and oliguria; fluid bolus
RATIONALE: Tachycardia and shoulder (diaphragmatic irritation) pain are classic early signs of a
leak. Immediate priority is diagnostic imaging (CT with oral contrast) and surgical consultation.
While other signs may occur, this combination is most specific. Delaying imaging can lead to
sepsis.
Q3 APPLY CURRENT EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE CARE OF
PATIENTS UNDERGOING BARIATRIC SURGERY
A patient who underwent sleeve gastrectomy 18 months ago presents with
persistent vomiting, dysphagia, and a 30% weight loss from baseline. Endoscopy
reveals a narrowed incisura. Which intervention is the most appropriate initial
management?
A. Surgical revision to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
B. Endoscopic balloon dilation CORRECT
C. Parenteral nutrition and observation
D. Strict liquid diet for 6 weeks
RATIONALE: Sleeve strictures at the incisura are commonly managed with endoscopic balloon
dilation, which is minimally invasive and effective. Surgical revision is reserved for failed dilation.
Parenteral nutrition and observation are not definitive. A strict liquid diet may temporarily alleviate
symptoms but does not treat the anatomical narrowing.

, Q4 APPLY CURRENT EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE CARE OF
PATIENTS UNDERGOING BARIATRIC SURGERY
Which long-term metabolic complication is most specifically associated with
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and what is the primary preventive nursing
intervention?
A. Iron deficiency anemia; encourage iron-rich foods
B. Vitamin B12 deficiency; ensure lifelong supplementation CORRECT
C. Calcium malabsorption; promote dairy intake
D. Fat-soluble vitamin deficiency; administer fat-soluble vitamins
RATIONALE: Bypassing the distal stomach and proximal small intestine impairs vitamin B12
absorption, necessitating lifelong supplementation. While iron and calcium deficiencies occur,
B12 deficiency is most specific to the bypass. Preventive care includes regular monitoring and
parenteral or high-dose oral B12.
Q5 APPLY CURRENT EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE CARE OF
PATIENTS UNDERGOING BARIATRIC SURGERY
A patient with a history of sleeve gastrectomy presents with intractable reflux and
is being evaluated for conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Which factor is
most critical to assess preoperatively?
A. Current BMI and weight loss trajectory
B. Presence of Helicobacter pylori infection
C. Esophageal motility via manometry CORRECT
D. Psychiatric stability and support system
RATIONALE: Esophageal dysmotility is a contraindication to Roux-en-Y due to risk of
postoperative dysphagia and worsening reflux. Manometry is essential before conversion. While
other factors are important, they are not as critical in determining surgical candidacy for this
specific procedure.
