BSN 266 HESI Med Surg Practice Exam Version 2 (202 5 Update) Questions and Verified Answers with Rationales | 100% Correct | Grade A- Nightingale Question: What types of medications should the nurse expect to administer to a client during an acute respiratory distress episode? A. Vasodilators and hormones. B. Analgesics and sedatives. C. Anticoagulants and expectorants. D. Bronchodilators and steroids. Answer: D. Bronchodilators and steroids. Rationale Besides supplemental oxygen, this clie nt with ARDS needs medications to widen air passages, increase air space, and reduce alveolar membrane inflammation, such as bronchodilators and steroids. Question: A female client is brought to the clinic by her daughter for a flu shot. She has lost sig nificant weight since the last visit. She has poor personal hygiene and inadequate clothing for the weather. The client states that she lives alone and denies problems or concerns. What action should the nurse implement? A. Notify social services immediate ly of suspected elderly abuse. B. Discuss the need for mental health counseling with the daughter. C. Explain to the client that she needs to take better care of herself. D. Collect further data to determine whether self -neglect is occurring. Answer: D. Co llect further data to determine whether self -neglect is occurring. Rationale Changes in weight and hygiene may be indicators of self -neglect or neglect by family members. Further assessment is needed before notifying social services or discussing a need fo r counseling. Question: The nurse is assisting a client out of bed for the first time after surgery. What action should the nurse do first? A. Place a chair at a right angle to the bedside. B. Encourage deep breathing prior to standing. C. Help the client to sit and dangle legs on the side of the bed. D. Allow the client to sit with the bed in a high Fowler's position. Answer: D. Allow the client to sit with the bed in a high Fowler's positio n. Rationale The first step is to raise the head of the bed to a high Fowler's position, which allow venous return to compensate from lying flat and the vasodilation effects of perioperative drugs. This helps prevent the client from becoming light -headed a nd decreases the chance of a client fall. Question: A 32-year-old female client complains of severe abdominal pain each month before her menstrual period, painful intercourse, and painful defecation. Which additional history should the nurse obtain that is consistent with the client's complaints? A. Frequent urinary tract infections. B. Inability to get pregnant. C. Premenstrual syndrome. D. Chronic use of laxatives. Answer: B. Inability to get pregnant. Rationale Dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and difficulty or painful defecation are common symptoms of endometriosis, which is the abnormal displacement of endometrial tissue in the dependent areas of the pelvic peritoneum. A history of infertility is another common finding associated with endometriosis. Question: The nurse would be correct in withholding a dose of digoxin in a client with congestive heart failure without specific instruction from the healthcare provider if the client's A. serum digoxin level is 1.5. B. blood pressure is 104/68. C. serum potassium level is 3. D. apical pulse is 68/min. Answer: C. serum potassium level is 3. Rationale Hypokalemia can precipitate digitalis toxicity in persons receiving digoxin which will increase the chance of dangerous dysrhythmias (normal potassium level is 3.5 to 5.5 mEq/L). Question: In assessing cancer risk, the nurse identifies which woman as being at greatest risk of developing breast cancer? A. A 35 -year-old multipara who never breastfed. B. A 50 -year-old whose mother had unilateral breast cancer. C. A 55 -year-old whose mother -in-law had bilateral breast cancer. D. A 20 -year-old whose menarche occurred at age 9. Answer: B. A 50 -year-old whose mother had unilateral breast cancer. Rationale
