✍️ Sample NURSING SCHOOL Questions & Answers

1. Which position is recommended to prevent aspiration in a patient receiving enteral tube feedings?
✓ Head of bed elevated 30–45 degrees

Elevating the head of the bed 30–45 degrees during and after tube feedings reduces the risk of aspiration by using gravity to keep the stomach contents from refluxing.

2. A patient's urine output over 8 hours is 200 mL. How should the nurse interpret this finding?
✓ Oliguria — below the expected minimum output

Normal urine output is approximately 30 mL/hr; 200 mL over 8 hours (25 mL/hr) is below the minimum threshold and indicates oliguria.

3. A nurse is preparing to perform hand hygiene. According to the CDC, how long should hands be scrubbed with soap and water?
✓ At least 20 seconds

The CDC recommends scrubbing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to effectively reduce microbial load.

4. A nurse is caring for a patient with a nasogastric (NG) tube. Before administering tube feeding, what is the first action?
✓ Verify tube placement by checking pH or x-ray confirmation

Verifying NG tube placement before each feeding is the priority to prevent aspiration pneumonia from inadvertent pulmonary feeding.

5. Which of the following is a correct technique when taking an oral temperature with a glass thermometer?
✓ Wait 15 minutes after the patient drinks cold water before measuring

Eating, drinking, or smoking can alter oral temperature readings, so the nurse should wait 15–30 minutes after these activities for an accurate result.

6. A nurse is about to administer a medication. Which of the following is the correct order of the 'rights' of medication administration?
✓ Right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time

The five rights of medication administration are: right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, and right time — all must be verified before giving any medication.
