NUR 155 Exam 2 – 500 Questions & Verified Answers | Nursing Process, Nutrition, Fluids & Elimination 2026

This document is a comprehensive NUR 155 Exam 2 study guide containing approximately 500 exam-style questions with verified answers, focused on foundational nursing concepts including the nursing process, nutrition, fluid and electrolyte balance, and elimination. It begins with core principles such as the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation), as outlined on page 1–3, and expands into clinical decision-making, data collection methods (subjective vs objective), and interviewing techniques including directive and non-directive approaches (pages 4–6). The material is organized in a structured question-and-answer format, making it highly effective for active recall and exam preparation. Middle sections (pages 8–21) provide in-depth coverage of nursing diagnoses (NANDA classifications, actual vs risk vs wellness diagnoses), care planning, prioritization, and implementation strategies. Additional sections (pages 22–33) focus on nutrition, including macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, dietary guidelines, and lifespan nutritional needs. Later sections (pages 36–45) expand into fluid and electrolyte balance (diffusion, osmosis, filtration, electrolyte imbalances, lab values, and acid-base balance), followed by elimination topics (pages 46–62) covering bowel and urinary function, constipation, diarrhea, incontinence, catheterization, and nursing interventions. As highlighted throughout the document (e.g., page 36 and page 44), high-yield exam concepts such as electrolyte lab values, fluid imbalance recognition, and nursing interventions are emphasized, making this a practical and exam-focused resource. This study guide aligns closely with introductory nursing curricula and is particularly relevant for students using Fundamentals of Nursing by Patricia A. Potter and Anne Griffin Perry. It is suitable for courses such as NUR 155, Foundations of Nursing, Pre-Nursing, and BSN programs. This resource is ideal for nursing students, beginner-level nursing students, and healthcare trainees preparing for exams, NCLEX-style questions, and clinical practice.
