CJE Benchmark Exam clinical EXAM COVERAGE
judgment NURS 3251 CJE
The CJE Benchmark Clinical Judgment Exam
2 focuses on respiratory disorders and
infectious disease management. The exam
covers assessment, diagnosis, and nursing
management of conditions such as
tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS), influenza, and
throat infections such as peritonsillar
abscess. It includes recognition of signs and
symptoms, interpretation of diagnostic tests
such as chest X-rays and TB screening tests,
and identification of complications
including hypoxia and sepsis. The exam also
assesses pharmacological management
including tuberculosis drug therapy,
,medication administration guidelines, side
effects of medications such as rifampin and
isoniazid, and the importance of medication
adherence and directly observed therapy
(DOT). Additional topics include respiratory
care interventions such as hydration, airway
clearance, incentive spirometry, infection
control precautions, prevention strategies
for respiratory infections, and patient and
family education to reduce disease
transmission. Overall, the exam emphasizes
respiratory assessment, infection
prevention, medication management, and
clinical judgment in caring for patients with
respiratory and infectious diseases.
