1. A patient arrives in the emergency department with airway obstruction. What is the first
priority?
A. Establish IV access
B. Perform chest X-ray
C. Secure the airway
D. Obtain blood samples
Airway is always the first priority in emergency care following ABC principles.
2. A trauma patient is bleeding heavily from a leg wound. What is the immediate nursing
action?
A. Apply cold compress
B. Elevate the limb only
C. Apply direct pressure to the wound
D. Start antibiotics
Direct pressure is the fastest way to control external hemorrhage.
3. Which sign indicates shock in a patient?
A. Bradycardia and hypertension
B. Tachycardia and hypotension
C. Slow respiration and fever
D. Flushed skin and headache
Shock commonly presents with increased heart rate and low blood pressure.
4. What is the priority in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)?
A. Airway, breathing, circulation
B. Breathing, airway, circulation
C. Circulation, airway, breathing
D. Compressions, airway, breathing (CAB)
Current CPR guidelines prioritize chest compressions first.
5. A patient with chest pain should first receive:
A. Morphine
B. Oxygen therapy
C. ECG monitoring
D. IV fluids
ECG helps quickly identify myocardial infarction.
6. Which symptom is most suggestive of myocardial infarction?
A. Abdominal pain
B. Radiating chest pain to left arm
C. Headache
D. Leg cramps
MI pain often radiates to the left arm or jaw.
7. What is the first action in an unresponsive patient?
A. Check blood pressure
B. Start IV fluids
C. Assess responsiveness and call for help
, D. Give oxygen
Initial assessment and help activation is essential.
8. What is the best position for a patient in respiratory distress?
A. Prone position
B. Supine flat
C. Trendelenburg
D. High Fowler’s position
High Fowler’s improves lung expansion.
9. A patient with suspected stroke should be assessed using:
A. APGAR score
B. Glasgow coma scale only
C. FAST assessment tool
D. Braden scale
FAST helps identify facial droop, arm weakness, speech issues.
10. Which glucose level indicates hypoglycemia?
A. 10 mmol/L
B. 8 mmol/L
C. Below 4 mmol/L
D. 12 mmol/L
Hypoglycemia is typically <4 mmol/L.
11. First intervention for hypoglycemia in conscious patient:
A. Insulin
B. Oral glucose
C. Diuretics
D. Oxygen
Oral glucose rapidly raises blood sugar.
12. Which fluid is most commonly used in initial shock resuscitation?
A. Dextrose 5%
B. Normal saline (0.9%)
C. Water
D. Albumin only
Normal saline is isotonic and restores volume.
13. What is the most common cause of anaphylaxis?
A. Viral infection
B. Allergic reaction to drugs or food
C. Hypertension
D. Stress
Anaphylaxis is an acute allergic reaction.
14. First drug of choice in anaphylaxis:
A. Dopamine
B. Epinephrine (adrenaline)
C. Insulin
D. Furosemide
Epinephrine reverses airway swelling and hypotension.
15. A patient with head injury should have:
A. High fluid intake
, B. Head elevated 30 degrees
C. Flat position
D. Trendelenburg position
Elevation reduces intracranial pressure.
16. Glasgow Coma Scale is used to assess:
A. Kidney function
B. Level of consciousness
C. Liver function
D. Blood sugar
GCS evaluates neurological status.
17. Normal GCS score is:
A. 10
B. 12
C. 15
D. 8
15 indicates full consciousness.
18. Which is a sign of increased intracranial pressure?
A. Bradycardia and hypertension
B. Altered level of consciousness
C. Low fever
D. Polyuria
ICP causes neurological decline.
19. First action in seizure management:
A. Restrain patient
B. Insert oral airway immediately
C. Protect patient from injury
D. Give oral medication
Safety is priority during seizures.
20. During seizure, nurse should:
A. Force mouth open
B. Turn patient to side
C. Give water
D. Hold limbs tightly
Side positioning prevents aspiration.
21. Which condition requires defibrillation?
A. Asystole
B. Ventricular fibrillation
C. Sinus bradycardia
D. Normal rhythm
VF is shockable rhythm.
22. Normal adult respiratory rate:
A. 8–10
B. 30–35
C. 12–20 breaths/min
D. 25–30
Normal range is 12–20.
