hi everyone,

i also have some random nclex questions...

1. whats the best way to assess a semi conscious person, is it asking his name or flashing his eyes with light ?

2. whats the priority for Tetralogy of Falot infant suffering from cyanosis, is it knee chest position or Oxygen hood?

hi everyone,

In NCLEX setting, I would like to clarify if it is the nurse or surgeon's responsibility to have the patient confirm his/her identity, the surgical site and procedure before administration of anesthesia ?

Isn't a surgeon's responsibility to explain the procedure,where the location and anesthesia administered?Nurses responsibility is to check informed consent,or assess if the client understands the procedure explained by the surgeon.

hi everyone,

I read a random question in a website.

This inquiry may sound stupid but i just want to be sure of the correct answer.

Can a Nurse delegate a UAP (Unlicensed assistive personnel) to administer stool softer?

thank you Esme,

I got some more questions or clarification for anyone to answer.

1. Can senior elderly with hypertension have a moderate intake of Alcohol/wine?

2. can a DM 2 patient use a large file coorifice to remove a dry skin of his bunion foot?

The answer to alcohol is always no.

No the patient cannot use a file on his feet. He has no feeling and could injure himself.

Hi everyone,

i just want to share some of my confusion with reworded NCLEX Type Questions,

For example in a SATA Alternative Format Question (Patient Safety)

If there is an option of raise "side rails".

Since its the term uses was plural, i would assume its ALL four side rails are expected to raise.

So basically this option would be wrong since its not appropriate to raise all 4 side rails?

i think i read this somewehre from NCSBN Qbank rationale

If I remember it correctly I had a question like that on my NCLEX. It was concerning the patients safety and it gave me options like "raise one upper side rail, leave night light on", "raise one lower side rail, turn lights off", "raise all side rails, tell him not to leave the bed". If the patient might hurt himself, or is confused, what would be the best way to keep him safe. These questions in the NCLEX have a lot to do with common sense. It may not be THAT obvious but usually it's easy to figure out.

Thanks Elena,

i read a past posts here that says the 4th side rail is a form of restraint. hence its not allowed

Does that mean the first three side rails are allowable ?

hi souleater

For patient safety we can keep the pt bed against 1 wall you can raise 1 upper side rail and pt must have 1 exit ..

Never use 2 upper side rails, and 2lower side rails,or all 4 side rails these 3 -interventions consider as your retraining the pt so you must need order from physician.

I think this may help you ........

Also, if there is an option to lower the bed that would be the correct choice before the side rails.
