Nurses collect objective data when performing patient assessments. What is an
example of objective data? - CORRECT ANSWER It's data that can be collected
through assessment.
Example: swelling/inflammation, skin temperature, discoloration, brittle
hair/nails, etc.
The nurse is assessing an adult who has a pulse rate of 180 beats/minute. What is
this? - CORRECT ANSWER Tachycardia; an abnormally high/rapid heart rate
Abnormal respiration sounds heard during auscultation characterized by
discontinuous bubbling sounds heard over the distal bronchioles and alveoli that
contain serous secretions are: - CORRECT ANSWER Crackles (also known as rales)
The period of time within the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles are relaxed and
filling with blood: - CORRECT ANSWER Diastole/diastolic
The client has an impairment of cranial nerve II. Specific to this impairment, the
nurse would plan to do what to ensure client safety? - CORRECT ANSWER Speak
loudly to the patient, test the temperature of food/water/shower, clear path for

this correctly, the nurse would test: - CORRECT ANSWER eye movement by using
the whisker test (having the patient follow an object with their eyes in the shape
