NCLEX_CRUSADE_ACADEMY TEST - 5 NEUROLOGICAL AND RESPIRATORY

1. According to the SAUR method, which condition is prioritized first?. Chronic stable asthma. Acute airway compromise. Potential risk for infection. Expected post-op pain.

2. In the SAUR matrix, acute conditions take priority over: Life-threatening conditions. Chronic stable conditions. Real problems. Unstable states.

3. A real, current problem is prioritized over: Another real problem. Acute change. Potential risk. Unexpected complication.

4. In head injury, which symptom indicates increased ICP?. Retrograde amnesia. Photophobia. Projectile vomiting. Difficulty concentrating.

5. Retrograde amnesia after concussion is considered: Unexpected emergency. Expected finding. Airway emergency. ICP crisis.

6. When managing a patient with EVD, first priority is to: Check temperature. Assess device patency/output. Change linens. Provide comfort measures.

7. In pediatric opioid overdose with RR 6, priority action is: Prepare for intubation. Activated charcoal. Administer Naloxone. Obtain labs.

8. Opioid overdose hypoxia is classified as: Potential problem. Real problem. Expected finding. Chronic issue.

9. Pulse oximetry in CO poisoning is unreliable because: It reads low oxygen falsely. It cannot distinguish CO from O2. It overestimates CO levels. It measures CO directly.

10. Priority treatment for CO poisoning is: Nasal cannula. BiPAP. 100% high-flow oxygen via non-rebreather. Intubation immediately.

11. A child drooling, restless, and without cough suggests: Croup. Common cold. Asthma. Epiglottitis.

12. The 4 Ds of epiglottitis include all EXCEPT: Drooling. Dysphagia. Dyspnea. Diarrhea.

13. In suspected epiglottitis, the nurse should: Inspect the throat. Obtain throat culture. Keep child calm and upright. Lay child supine.

14. Inspecting the throat in epiglottitis can cause: Bradycardia. Laryngospasm and airway obstruction. Fever. Seizures.

15. Pre-exercise asthma prevention includes: Antibiotics. Long-acting beta agonist only. SABA 520 minutes before activity. Corticosteroids immediately before run.

16. A child with thick yellow-green sputum and positive sweat test likely has: Asthma. TB. Cystic Fibrosis. RSV.

17. Management of cystic fibrosis includes: Bronchodilator only. Chest physiotherapy and pancreatic enzymes. Antivirals. Strict fluid restriction.

18. Hallmark sign of pertussis is: Night sweats. Post-tussive vomiting. High fever. Hemoptysis.

19. Pertussis requires which isolation precaution?. Contact. Airborne. Droplet. Reverse isolation.

20. Appropriate medication for pertussis is: Oseltamivir. Azithromycin. Amoxicillin. Ribavirin.

21. Recommended IM site for infant vaccines is: Deltoid. Gluteus maximus. Vastus lateralis. Triceps.

22. Aspirating before IM injection in infants is: Required. Evidence-based. Not recommended. Mandatory for vaccines.

23. Epiglottitis is classified as: Stable. Chronic. Unstable. Expected.

24. Projectile vomiting after head injury is categorized as: Expected. Chronic. Real and Unexpected. Benign.

25. The overall NCLEX prioritization rule emphasizes: Treat potential first. Prioritize unstable and airway threats. Address chronic first. Ignore expected symptoms.
