Try 3 neurological questions
A 68-year-old man is postoperative day 2 in the intensive care unit following an emergency craniotomy for a subdural hematoma complicated by aspiration pneumonia requiring a right-sided chest tube connected to a water-seal suction system set at -20 cmH2O. Over the past hour the nurse notes 220 mL of bright-red drainage in the collection chamber, compared with 30 mL/hr for the previous 8 hours. The insertion site dressing is dry and intact, but the water-seal chamber shows continuous vigorous bubbling. His oxygen saturation has dropped from 96% to 90% on the same FiO2, respiratory rate is 26 breaths/min, and breath sounds are diminished on the right with increased work of breathing. The nurse is preparing to reposition the client in bed. Which action correctly maintains the chest-tube drainage system while this care is provided?

What you'll practice
Neurological questions span 12 subtopics aligned to the 2026 NCSBN test plan.
Where neurological lands on the 2026 test plan
The NCLEX® scores you across eight Client Needs categories, each with an official share of your exam. Every neurological question here is mapped to the 2026 NCSBN test plan, so this practice flows straight into the categories below.

Common questions
How many neurological NCLEX® questions does StudyWithLily have?
Neuro coverage spans stroke recognition and thrombolytic timing, seizure precautions, traumatic brain injury, increased ICP, spinal cord injury, meningitis, MS, Parkinson's, and Guillain-Barre. Expect to spot Cushing's triad, position a client with increased ICP at 30 degrees, and explain why a newly fixed and dilated pupil is an emergency.
Does StudyWithLily cover neurological topics for the 2026 NCLEX®?
Yes. Neuro items map to Physiological Adaptation and Reduction of Risk Potential in the 2026 NCSBN test plan, with Clinical Judgment scenarios built around deteriorating neuro checks: a falling Glasgow Coma Scale score, new unilateral weakness, or a widening pulse pressure.
Can I practice neurological questions for free?
Yes. Try the samples above without an account. A free account gets you 150 adaptive questions a month, and neuro is one of the systems students most often need to re-drill.
What question types are available for neurological?
SBA, SATA, BowTie, and unfolding case studies. Neuro deterioration makes strong case material: the same client across multiple phases, from worsening headache to herniation signs.
