NURS 641E COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS 2026
▶ antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Answer: an increasing problem in the
twenty-first century whereby antibiotic resistant bacterial populations have
increased due to overuse of antibiotics which kill the bacteria that are not
resistant
▶ urgent AMR threats. Answer: Urgent threats- CRE, C. Diff
Serious threats-MRSA, VRE, ESBL
▶ 5 moments for hand hygiene. Answer: before touching a patient
before a clean or aseptic procedure
after a body fluid exposure risk
after touching a patient
after touching a patients surroundings
▶ 4 major hospital acquire infection categories. Answer: catheter
associated (CAUTI)
surgical site infection (SSI)
central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI)
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
▶ aseptic technique. Answer: method used to make the environment, the
worker, and the patient as germ-free as possible
▶ medical asepsis. Answer: clean technique
▶ surgical asepsis. Answer: sterile technique
▶ abduction. Answer: away from the midline
▶ adduction. Answer: moving toward the midline
▶ circumduction. Answer: circular movement of a limb at the far end
, ▶ flexion. Answer: bending a joint
▶ extension. Answer: Straightening of a joint
▶ hyperextension. Answer: extension beyond anatomical position
▶ dorsiflexion. Answer: bending of the foot or the toes upward
▶ plantar flexion. Answer: bending of the sole of the foot by curling the
toes toward the ground
▶ isotonic exercises. Answer: muscle shortening and active movement
▶ isometric exercises. Answer: Involves muscle contraction w/o shortening
(ie, no movement or a min. shortening of muscle fibers). Ex - contracting
quadriceps/gluteal muscles.

allow for maximum resistance over the complete range of motion
▶ fowlers position. Answer: sitting position
▶ supine, dorsal recumbent. Answer: lying on the back
▶ lateral position. Answer: side lying position
▶ sims position. Answer: lying on left side with right knee drawn up and
with left arm drawn behind, parallel to the back
▶ prone position. Answer: lying face down
▶ development consideration in neonate and infant. Answer: fetal
considerations
