NURS 134 ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS 2026
> major classifications of hypertension? Answer:-primary (essential):
characterized by an increase above normal in both systolic and diastolic
pressures
-secondary : caused by another disease condition like kidney disease,
aorta disorders, or adrenal cortex disorders
> diuretics? Answer:used to increase urinary output
> beta-adrenergic blockers? Answer:to block sympathetic stimulation and
decrease cardiac output
> vasodilators and calcium channel blockers? Answer:to relax smooth
muscles of arterioles and decrease peripheral vascular resistance
> ACE inhibitors? Answer:to prevent vasoconstriction by angiotensin II and
decrease circulatory fluid volume by reducing aldosterone production
> RACE? Answer:R: rescue anyone in immediate danger
A: activate the fire code and notify appropriate person
C: confine the fire by closing doors and windows
E: evacuate patients and other people to a safe area
> jaundice causes? Answer:yellowish, itchy skin; bilirubin problem and liver
not functioning properly
> eczema? Answer:red, itchy inflammation of the skin; usually develops in
early childhood, more common in people w/ family history; treatment
involves avoiding soap and other irritants and applying creams or ointments
if prescribed
> psoriasis? Answer:common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of
skin cells, cells build up rapidly on surface of skin and extra skin cells form
, scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful; chronic,
comes and goes
> wound? Answer:a break or disruption in the normal integrity of the skin
and tissues
> intentional wound? Answer:the result of planned invasive therapy or
treatment ex. surgery, intravenous procedure
> unintentional wound? Answer:are accidental; occur from unexpected
trauma
> open wound? Answer:occurs from intentional and unintentional trauma;
skin surface is broken, providing a portal of entry for microorganisms
> closed wound? Answer:results from a blow, force, or strain caused by
trauma such as a fall, an assault, or motor vehicle crash
> acute wound? Answer:usually heal within days to weeks
> chronic wound? Answer:do not progress through stages of healing;
healing impeded
> albumin normal lab values? Answer:3.5-5
> vitamin c and zinc? Answer:important in wound healing
> phases of wound healing? Answer:-hemostasis-vessels constrict and
clotting begins
-inflammatory-white blood cells move to wound
-proliferation-granulation tissue is formed
-maturation-collagen is remodeled, forms scar
> hemostasis? Answer:occurs immediately after intial injury, blood vessels
constrict and clotting begins, exudate(drainage) forms and causes swelling
and pain, increased perfusion results in heat and redness, platelets
stimulate other cells to migrate to injury to participate in phases of healing
> inflammatory phase? Answer:follows hemostasis and lasts 4-6 days,
white blood cells move to wound, macrophages enter wound and remain
