NCLEX STUDY GUIDE 2024 LATEST ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS UPDATED

The charge nurse has received a change of shift report on the following laboring
clients.


The nurse should give priority for treatment to a


A. Client who is 41 weeks pregnant, G2P1, pushing, facial presentation.
B. Client who is 39 weeks pregnant, G3P2, amniotomy performed, thin, green
fluid.
C. Client who is 38 weeks pregnant, G1P0, oxytocin infusing, no cervical dilation
in 3 hours.
D. Client who is 28 weeks pregnant, G2P1, uterine contractions every 5 minutes, 4
centimeters dilated.
A. Client who is 41 weeks pregnant, G2P1, pushing, facial presentation.




explained: for successful vaginal delivery, the fetus should be in a vertex position (I.e.,
parallel with maternal spine), flexed (I.e., chin to chest), and cephalic (I.e., head down)
presentation


Facial presentation occurs when the fetal head is fully extended, requiring immediate
intervention (e.g., emergent cesarean section). delivering vaginally can cause trauma,
spinal cord injuries, fetal distress, and demise.
The nurse is screening clients for those at increased risk for developing
metabolic acidosis?

,At highest risk for developing metabolic acidosis is the client who


A. Has nausea and vomiting
B. Has sepsis and hypotension
C. Is taking large doses of thiazide diuretics
D. Has decreased oral intake and is dehydrated
B. Has sepsis and hypotension
The nurse is caring for a postoperative client who has voided 125 mL since the
removal of the indwelling urinary catheter 6 hours ago.


Which of the following actions should the nurse take?


A. Perform a bladder scan
B. Reassess urine output in 1 hour
C. Administer 40 mg of furosemide
D. Administer a 500 mL IV fluid bolus
A. Perform a bladder scan


Explanation: Client is experiencing decreased urinary output (<30mL/hr) and requires
further assessment to determine the cause.
The nurse observes a coworker who is inserting a nasogastric tube.


Which of the following actions by the staff member would require the nurse to
intervene?


A. Uses slight pressure and rotates the tube during insertion
B. Advance the nasogastric tube while the client swallows water
C. Flushes tube with normal saline after insertion to confirm patency
D. Measures tube length from nose, to the earlobe, and then to the xiphoid
process

,C. Flushes tube with normal saline after insertion to confirm patency


Explanation:
Nasogastric (NG) tube are flexible tubes placed in the nares down to the stomach. They
provide enteral nutrition directly to the stomach or remove gastric contents,
decompressing the stomach. NG tube insertion include:


1. Position the client in high-Fowler.
2. Determine the needed tube length
3. Lubricate and inset the tube, aiming towards the back of the throat and down towards
the ear.
4. Instruct the client to put chin to chest and repeatedly swallow during insertion.
5. Stop insertion once the desired length is reached. Remove and start over if the tube
meets resistance or the client experiences respiratory distress.
6. Secure with tape.
7. Confirm tube placement is in the stomach and not the lungs with an X-ray before
utilizing. Without confirmation, aspiration could occur. After initial verification with an X-
ray, tube placement is verified before each use by aspirating gastric contents or pH
testing aspirated contents.


Takeaway:
Nasogastric tubes enter the nares and end in the stomach.
Nasogastric tube placement must be confirmed with X-ray prior to use to avoid
aspiration.
The nurse has received information about assigned clients.

A. Client recovering from recent thyroidectomy
