NUR 211 EXAM 4 WITH 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
Question 1 of 17
The nurse is assessing a military veteran who reports frequent
headaches. For which neurologic health problem is the client most
at risk?
Brain cancer
Bell palsy
Traumatic brain injury
Stroke correct answers >> C- Traumatic brain injury
Military veterans are most at risk for traumatic brain injury (TBI)
due to explosions that many experienced during wars. Signs and
symptoms of TBI can be mild such as headache or memory loss or
more severe.
Question 2 of 17
A client has just returned from having cerebral angiography.
Which assessment finding would lead the nurse to act
immediately?
,Severe headache
Bleeding
Urge to void
Increased temperature correct answers >> B- Bleeding
After a cerebral angiography, the nurse would immediately react
if the client had any bleeding. If bleeding is present at the
puncture site, manual pressure on the site is maintained along
with immediate notification of the primary health care provider.
Increased temperature or the urge to void is not typical
complications of cerebral angiography. Severe headache is a
typical complication of a lumbar puncture, but not of cerebral
angiography.
Question 3 of 17
The nurse is assessing a client who is drowsy but easily
awakened. What level of consciousness (LOC) would the nurse
document for this client?
Lethargic
Stuporous
Alert
,Comatose correct answers >> A- Lethargic
The client is not alert and awake but can easily be awakened,
which is referred to as
lethargy. Clients who are stuporous can only be aroused with
painful stimuli. Comatose clients cannot be aroused.
Question 4 of 17
A client is scheduled for an electroencephalogram (EEG). Which
instruction does the nurse give the client before the test?
"You may bring some music to listen to for distraction."
"Please do not have anything to eat or drink after midnight."
"Do not take any sedatives 12 to 24 hours before the test."
"You will need to have someone to drive you home." correct
answers >> C- "Do not take any sedatives 12 to 24 hours before
the test."
Before an EEG, the client needs to be instructed not to use
sedatives or stimulants for 12 to 24 hours prior to the test.
A client would not fast prior to an EEG as hypoglycemia may alter
results. Testing takes place in a quiet room, so music for
distraction is not appropriate. Unless the EEG is for sleep disorder
diagnosis, the client will not need to be driven home.
Question 5 of 17
, Which client diagnosed with neurologic injury is typically at
highest risk for depression?
Older man with a mild stroke
Young man with a spinal cord injury
Older woman with a seizure
Young woman with a minor closed head injury correct answers
>> B- Young man with a spinal cord injury
A young man with a spinal cord injury is at highest risk for
depression. Although each individual responds differently, young
adults who experience a spinal cord injury and loss of
independent movement are more likely to experience depression.
Keeping in mind people's differences in personal experiences, the
client with a mild stroke without long-term deficits, the client who
had a seizure or the young woman who sustained a minor head
injury are generally at a lower risk of depression.
Question 6 of 17
The nurse is caring for a client with impaired vision. The nurse
knows the cranial nerve that controls visual acuity is which of the
following?
Cranial nerve V (trigeminal)
