NSG 312 TEST 1 BLUEPRINT EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. VERIFIED
2026.
Types of hearing loss(1) - ANS conductive and sensorineural
CONDUCTIVE HEARING LOSS - ANS stems from a problem in outer or middle ear
SENSORINEURAL hearing loss - ANS typically involves damage to cochlea or CN VIII
malignant external otitis(1?) - ANS external ear infection, caused by pseudomonas
aeruginosa, treated with IV ABs
acute otitis media(1?) - ANS middle ear infection, bacteria from ET into middle ear, abs to
solve, s/sx pain and fever
(1)Glaucoma - ANS increase in intra-ocular pressure that can lead to optic nerve damage
caused by a congestion of aqueous humor in the eye
s/sx of glaucoma/risk factors - ANS LOSS OF PERIPHERAL VISION, blurred vision, "halos", risk
factors- age infection, tumors, diabetes, genetics, HTN, eye trauma

, tx of glaucoma - ANS CHOLINGERICS(MIOTICS)- increase aqueous outflow, beta blockers,
alpha adrenal blockers and carbonic anhydrase blockers decrease aqueous production,
prostaglandin analogs increase uveoscleral outflow
macular degeneration(1), what to use, risk factors, and sx - ANS USE AMSLER GRIDS AND
REPORT IF LOOKS DISTORTED, RISK:DIET LACKING IN CAROTENE OR VIT E, CENTRAL VISION LOSS
IS MOST COMMON SX
cataracts(1), sx, risk factors - ANS A LENS OPACITY OR CLOUDINESS, risk factors: age is most
common, trauma, obesity, infection, diabetes, downsyndrome, renal disease, S/sx PAINLESS,
PHOTOSENSITIVITY, blurry vision, light scattering, reduced acuity
cataract tx - ANS surgical one at a time several weeks in between
cataract nursing care - ANS eye patch first 24 hours, avoid IOP related activities, teach about
post op meds
stroke general(1) risk factors, s/sx, interventions - ANS age, gender, ethnicity, HTN,
cardiovascular disease, obesity, DM, substance abuse, high cholesterol, s/sx: loss of balance,
loss of vision, drooping, weakness, speech, interventions: prevention shoulder adduction,
position hands and fingers, repositioning, active ROM, ambulation
ischemic stroke(4) - ANS sudden severe HA, ED priority, rule out Hemorrhage with ct,
administer tPA as ordered
ischemic recovery - ANS assist OOB asap, ROM 5x per day, prevent shoulder adduction,
nutrition, roll to weaker side first
