, NSG 122 Fundamental Concepts HESI Final Exam
1. Evidence Based Practice: Evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing is a
problem-solving approach to making clinical decisions, using the best evidence
available (considered "best" because it is collected from sources such as
published research, national standards and guidelines, and reviews of targeted
literature). 2. Erikson's Psychosocial Theory Older Adults: Integrity vs. Despair
People in late adulthood reflect on their lives and feel either a sense of satisfaction
or a sense of failure. People who feel proud of their accomplishments feel a sense
of integrity, and they can look back on their lives with few regrets.
3. Droplet Precautions: Droplet Precautions:
Use a private room, if available. Door may remain open.
Wear PPE upon entry into the room for all interactions that may involve contact
with the patient and potentially contaminated areas in the patient's environment.
Transport patient out of room only when necessary and place a surgical mask on
the patient if possible.

Keep visitors 3 ft from the infected person.
4. Why are masks beneficial with droplet precautions?: Masks help prevent
the wearer from inhaling large-particle aerosols, which usually travel short
distances (about 3 ft), and small-particle droplet nuclei, which can remain
suspended in the air and travel longer distances. Masks also protect the patient
from the respiratory secretions of the health care worker. Masks discourage the
wearer from touching the eyes, nose, and mouth, thus limiting contact of
organisms with mucous membranes.
5. Cough Etiquette: Any patients, family members, and visitors with undiagnosed,
transmissible respiratory infections require education to cover their mouth and
nose with a tissue when coughing and promptly dispose of the tissue. During
periods of increased occurrence of respiratory infections, offer a surgical mask
to coughing patients and other symptomatic people upon entry to the health
care facility or office. Encourage the coughing patient to maintain more than a
3-ft separation from other people in the health care facility or office.

6. Factors Affecting Risk for Infection: Factors affecting the risk for infection
include: integrity of mucous membranes, pH levels of the gastrointestinal and
genitourinary tracts, immune response, age, sex, race, heredity, level of fatigue,
nutritional status, stress level, use of invasive or indwelling medical devices and
immunizations (natural or acquired)
7. Abnormal Wound Drainage: Purulent drainage is made up of white blood
cells, liquefied dead tissue debris, and both dead and live bacteria. Purulent
drainage is thick, often has a musty or foul odor, and varies in color (such as
dark yellow or green), depending on the causative organism.
8. Pressure Ulcer Stage 1: A stage 1 pressure injury is a defined, localized area
of intact skin with nonblanchable erythema (redness). Darkly pigmented skin
may not have visible blanching; its color may differ from the surrounding skin.
The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer, or cooler as compared to adjacent
tissue
