100 QUESTION CNOR PRACTICE
EXAMS WITH ANSWERS
Aseptic technique is also known as:
A. Clean technique
B. Sterile technique
C. Sterilization
D. Decontamination - CORRECT ANSWER-A. Clean technique
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 is:
A. Pressure
B. Hypothermia
C. Diabetes mellitus
D. General anesthesia - CORRECT ANSWER-C. Diabetes
mellitus
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.
Which of the following helps determine a patient's discharge
destination?
A. Written discharge instructions from anesthesiology and
medical staff
B. Risk of postoperative complications
,C. Standardized pain scoring
D. General condition and readiness for discharge - CORRECT
ANSWER-B. Risk of postoperative complications
The choice of discharge site is based on patient acuity, access
to follow-up care, and the potential for postoperative
complications.
Central nervous system (CNS) signs and symptoms of local
anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) include:
A. Hypertension
B. Numbness of lips and tongue
C. Respiratory depression
D. Elevated temperature - CORRECT ANSWER-B. Numbness
of lips and tongue
CNS symptoms of LAST include circumoral and tongue
numbness. All other options are not considered part of the
CNS.
Autologous bone grafts should be stored at a temperature of:
A. 68*F (20*C)
B. 32*F (0*C)
C. -4*F (-20*C)
D. -112*F (-80*C) - CORRECT ANSWER-C. -4*F (-20*C)
Maintaining storage temperatures within recommended
parameters of -4*F (-20*C) helps ensure that autografts are
maintained in optimal conditions for successful replantation.
When providing patient education for a child, it is important to
understand which learning characteristics of children?
A. Children are self-directed
B. Children use intrinsic thought processes
,C. Children respond to use of activities that follow transitions of
maturity.
D. Children respond to a trial-and-error approach - CORRECT
ANSWER-D. Children respond to a trial-and-error approach
When teaching children, using a trial-and-error approach is
effective. Child learners are task-oriented, use extrinsic thought
processes, and value self-esteem.
Which of the following actions would decrease radiation
exposure during fluoroscopy procedures?
A. Positioning the patient as close to the tube as possible
B. Positioning the patient as far from the image intensifier as
possible
C. Positioning the patient as far from the monitor as possible
D. Positioning the patient as close to the image intensifier as
possible - CORRECT ANSWER-D. Positioning the patient as
close to the image intensifier as possible
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.
A perioperative nurse is assisting an anesthesia professional
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 the cricoid cartilage to occlude the
esophagus
, D. Maintaining pressure on the thyroid cartilage until anesthesia
verifies placement - CORRECT ANSWER-C. Applying pressure
on the cricoid cartilage to occlude the esophagus
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.
A diagnostic procedure that replies on radio-frequency waves
to reproduce cross-sectional images of the body without
exposing the patient to ionizing radiation is:
A. Ultrasonography
B. Position emission tomography
C. Computed tomography
D. Magnetic resonance imaging - CORRECT ANSWER-D.
Magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging stimulates disequilibrium in the
nuclei of hydrogen atoms and the water of body cells. As nuclei
return to their original state, they emit radiofrequency signals.
Which of the following movements of a powered instrument is
used to drill holes or to insert screws, wires, and pins?
A. Reciprocating
B. Oscillating
C. Alternating
D. Rotating - CORRECT ANSWER-D. Rotating
Rotary movement is used to drill holes or to insert screws,
wires, or pins. Reciprocating and oscillating movements are
used to cut or remove bone. Alternating movement should not
be sued.
