Nursing Interview Questions and Answers Rationale
Q1. The client taking Antabuse should not eat or drink anything containing alcohol or vinegar.
Q2. Fluid volume deficit can lead to metabolic acidosis and electrolyte loss.
Q3. Epidural anesthesia involves injecting an anesthetic into the epidural space. If the anesthetic rises above the respiratory center, the client will have impaired breathing; thus, monitoring for respiratory depression is necessary.
Q4. Pain is a late sign of oral cancer. A feeling of warmth, odor, and a flat ulcer in the mouth are all early occurrences of oral cancer.
Q5. The first action that the nurse should take when beginning to examine the infant is to listen to the heart and lungs. If the nurse elicits the Babinski reflex palpates the abdomen, or looks in the child’s ear first, the child will begin to cry and it will be difficult to obtain an objective finding while listening to the heart and
lungs.
Q6. If the dialysate returns cloudy, an infection might be present and must be evaluated.
Q7. The client with pancreatitis frequently has nausea and vomiting. Lavage is often used to decompress the stomach and rest the bowel, so the insertion of a Levine tube should be anticipated.
Q8. The most suitable roommate for the client with gastric resection is the client with phlebitis because phlebitis is an inflammation of the blood vessel and is not infectious.
Q9. Lidocaine is used to treat ventricular tachycardia. This medication slowly exerts an antiarrhythmic effect by increasing the electric stimulation threshold of the ventricles without depressing the force of ventricular contractions. It is not used for atrial arrhythmias
Q10. Assault is defined as striking or touching the client inappropriately, so a nurse assistant striking a client could be charged with assault.
