NCLEX Challenges 163 | Aspiration Pneumonia Prevention & Acute Stroke Priority | NCLEX Prep 2026

Описание: Welcome back to NCLEX Challenges 163 by Crack The NCLEX!
This episode focuses on two high-priority, life-saving scenarios frequently tested on the NCLEX and Next Gen NCLEX (NGN)—airway protection and acute stroke response.

🔹 Scenario 1: Aspiration Pneumonia Risk Reduction

An elderly client with diabetes, gastroparesis, stroke history, and altered level of consciousness is hospitalized with recurrent aspiration pneumonia. Learn which nursing intervention most effectively reduces aspiration risk, with emphasis on positioning and airway protection.

🔹 Scenario 2: Acute Stroke – Priority Nursing Action

A client arrives via EMS with unilateral flaccidity and aphasia, triggering a stroke alert. Review the first priority nursing action, focusing on time-sensitive stroke care, ABCs, and rapid assessment for thrombolytic eligibility.

What You’ll Learn in This Video

✅ Best nursing actions to prevent aspiration pneumonia
✅ Why positioning is a critical airway intervention
✅ Stroke alert priorities on the NCLEX
