NSG-3800
Maximize your success with this NSG-3800 Exam 2, designed to
assess advanced concepts in medical-surgical nursing practice.
It focuses on complex patient care, clinical judgment, and
evidence-based management of adult health conditions. The
exam strengthens critical thinking and decision-making skills in
acute and hospital-based settings. Suitable for nursing students
in medical-surgical courses.
30. patient with advanced venous insufficiency is confined
following orthopedic surgery. How can the nurse best
prevent skin breakdown in the patients lower extremities?
A) Ensure that the patients heels are protected and
supported.
B) Closely monitor the patients serum albumin and
prealbumin levels.
C) Perform gentle massage of the patients lower legs, as
tolerated.

D) Perform passive range-of-motion exercises once per shift.
✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... A
Feedback:
If the patient is on bed rest, it is important to relieve pressure
on the heels to prevent pressure ulcerations, since the heels
are among the most vulnerable body regions. Monitoring
blood work does not directly prevent skin breakdown, even
though albumin is related to wound healing. Massage is not
normally indicated and may exacerbate skin breakdown.
Passive range- of-motion exercises do not directly reduce
the risk of skin breakdown.
30. The nurse has performed a thorough nursing assessment
of the care of a patient with chronic leg ulcers. The nurses
assessment should include which of the following
components? Select all that apply.
A) Location and type of pain
B) Apical heart rate
C) Bilateral comparison of peripheral pulses
D) Comparison of temperature in the patients legs
E) Identification of mobility limitations ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER
....... A, C, D, E
, Page 3 of 203
Feedback:
A careful nursing history and assessment are important. The
extent and type of pain are carefully assessed, as are the
appearance and temperature of the skin of both legs. The
quality of all peripheral pulses is assessed, and the pulses in
both legs are compared. Any limitation of mobility and
activity that results from vascular insufficiency is identified.
Not likely is there any direct indication for assessment of
apical heart rate, although peripheral pulses must be
assessed.
30. A nurse on a medical unit is caring for a patient who has
been diagnosed with lymphangitis. When reviewing this
patients medication administration record, the nurse should
anticipate which of the following?
A) Coumadin (warfarin)
B) Lasix (furosemide)
C) An antibiotic
D) An antiplatelet aggregator ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... C
Feedback:
Lymphangitis is an acute inflammation of the lymphatic
channels caused by an infectious process. Antibiotics are
, Page 4 of 203
always a component of treatment. Diuretics are of nominal
use. Anticoagulants and antiplatelet aggregators are not
indicated in this form of infection.
30. A postsurgical patient has illuminated her call light to
inform the nurse of a sudden onset of lower leg pain. On
inspection, the nurse observes that the patients left leg is
visibly swollen and reddened. What is the nurses most
appropriate action?
A) Administer a PRN dose of subcutaneous heparin.
B) Inform the physician that the patient has signs and
symptoms of VTE.
C) Mobilize the patient promptly to dislodge any thrombi in
the patients lower leg.
D) Massage the patients lower leg to temporarily restore
venous return. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... B
Feedback:
VTE requires prompt medical follow-up. Heparin will not
dissolve an established clot. Massaging the patients leg and
mobilizing the patient would be contraindicated because
they would dislodge the clot, possibly resulting in a
pulmonary embolism.
