CHAPTER 1 — High-Yield Nursing Fundamentals: Must-Know Questions br br br br br br br
1.- A 65-year-
br br
old patient presents with confusion, fever 39°C, HR 128, BP 85/50, RR 28, SpO₂ 91% on room
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
air. What is the priority nursing action?
br br br br br br
Administer acetaminophen br
Initiate sepsis protocol br br
Notify the physician br br
Draw blood cultures br br
Answer: B — Initiate sepsis protocol br br br br br
Rational:
This patient meets SIRS criteria and shows early severe sepsis signs (hypotension + conf
br br br br br br br br br br br br br
usion = organ hypoperfusion). br br br
Immediate initiation of sepsis protocol (IV fluids, oxygen, labs, prepare antibiotics) is prior
br br br br br br br br br br br br
ity to prevent multi-organ failure. br br br br
Option Analysis: br
A ✗Reduces fever but does not treat underlying infection.br br br br br br br br br
B ✓Correct — addresses ABCs and sepsis management immediately.
br br br br br br br br br
C ✗Notify physician important but protocol begins immediately.
br br br br br br br br
D ✗Blood cultures necessary but after initiating fluids/oxygen.
br br br br br br br br
Step Action Rationale
2|P age
, 1 Assess ABC br Ensure airway, breathing, circulation
br br br
2 Start sepsis protocol br br Fluids, labs, antibiotics br br
3 Oxygen therapy br Correct hypoxia br
4 Notify physician br Collaborative care br
5 Draw cultures br After initial interventions
br br
Clinical Pearl: Confusion in sepsis often precedes hypotension —
br br br br br br br br
early recognition saves lives.
br br br br
2.- A nurse identifies a patient is at risk for falls. Priority nursing action?

br br br br br br br br

br br br br br br
Non-slip socks br
Keep call light within reach
br br br br
Dim lighting at night
br br br
Encourage rapid ambulation br br
Bed alarmsbr
Answer: A, B, E br br br

Non-slip socks and bed alarms prevent falls.
br br br br br br
Dim lighting helps vision, but patient still needs supervision.
br br br br br br br br
Rapid ambulation is unsafe in high-risk patients.
br br br br br br
4.- Adult patient with RR 28/min. Breathing pattern?
br br br br br br br
Eupnea
Bradypnea

Hyperventilation
3|P age
