ANSWERS.EXAM
A type of documentation often used in combination with charting by
exception. Focused notes are brief, and each note is focused on one patient
problem for efficiency in documenting, as well as for reading
DAR, data, action response
A type of documentation where a list of "normal findings" is provided and
nurses document assessment findings by confirming normal findings and
writing brief documentation notes for abnormal findings.
Charting By Exception
Documentation designed to decrease the amount of time required to document
the list found on assessment and write only brief progress notes for abnormal
findings or to document communication with other team members.
Charting By Exception
Included are reason for admission, health history, surgical history, allergies,
current medications, physical exam, medical diagnosis, and treatment plan in
documentation.
History & Physical (H&P)
Medications that are administered into the intradermal (ID), subcutaneous
(subcut), or muscular (IM) tissues, or directly into the vascular system (IV).
Parenteral administration
Medication administered via the GI tract, PO, sublingual, buccal, and enteral
feeding tube routes.
Enteral administration of medications
When to consider medication reconciliation?
Client admission, level of care transitions, facility transfers, client discharge
4 components of pharmokinetics?
Adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion.
, Page 2 of 41
What is the adult oxygen saturation expectation reference range?
95%-100%
Bacteria that are resistant to one or more classes of existing antimicrobials?
Mulitdrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)
What are the 4 healthcare associated infections (HAIs)?
Central line-associated infection (CLABSI), Catheter-associated Urinary tract
infection (CAUTI), Surgical site infection (SSI), Ventilator associated Pneumonia
(VAP)
Guidelines for practice that are bundled together to help prevent HAIs such as
CAUTIs, CLABIs, VAPs, and SSIs.
Infection control bundles
Single client rooms built with special air handling and ventilation to provide a
negative pressure (relative to the surrounding area, such as the hall or
neighboring rooms). Also referred to as a negative pressure room.
Airborne Infection Isolation Room (AIIR)
Used during approximately the first 100 days after the transport specific
engineering and hospital designs that decrease the risk of environmental fungi
to the client who had HSCT.
Protective isolation
Stage of infection when the client begins having initial manifestations as the
infectious agent replicates. Nonspecific symptoms, fever, aches, poor
appetite, and malaise.
Prodromal
The third stage of infection where manifestations of a specific infectious
disease process are obvious. This is also the stage where it's most severe.
Acute illness
The fourth stage of infection when manifestations begin to wane as the
number of infectious bacteria/viral particles decrease. The client begins to
regain strength.
Period of decline
The fifth and last stage of infection when the client returns to a normal state of
health. Some clients gain a new state of health.
Period of convalescence
What are the 2 groups of infections?
, Page 3 of 41
Local, Systemic
The type of infection that is confined to 1 area of the body?
Local infection
What type of infection starts as a local infection and then transmits into the
bloodstream to infect the entire body systems?
Systemic infection
A term used to define the reduction of disease-causing microorganisms; a
cleaning technique.
Medical technique
What are the 5 symptoms of inflammation?
Heat, redness, swelling, pain, loss of function
What are the 5 stages of infection?
Incubation, prodromal, acute illness, period of decline, period of convalescence
Cleaning techniques that ensure the sterility of items that will come in contact
with the client through use of equiptment such as sterile gloves, in order to
prevent pathogen transfer to the client.
Surgical asepsis
Cleaning instruments so that all microorganisms, including bacterial spores
are eradicated.
Sterilization
Created to assure that the smallest number of microorganisms possible are
present used for procedures where surgical asepsis is indicated.
Sterile fields
Cleans instruments so that almost all microorganisms are eradicated but not
all. There are 2 levels, High and low levels
Disinfection
Infection prevention practices and these apply to all clients, whether or not
they are known to have an infectious agent.
Standard precautions
Precautions used when a client has an infectious agent that can be direct or
indirect contact with body secretions. Requires a minimum of a gown & gloves
prior to client interaction.
Contact precautions
, Page 4 of 41
Used when a client has an infectious agent that can be transmitted through the
air. Should don an N95 mask or a high-level respirator when entering the room
of a client.
Airborne precautions
What are the 9 causes of an altered mental status?
Alcohol, Endocrine issues, Insulin, Drug issues, Ulremia, Trauma, Infection, Poison,
Shock.
____ follows ADPIE nursing process.
____ follows DPIE nursing process.
RN, PN/LPN
What body system is affected as a result of an allergic reaction to medication.
Hypotension, tachycardia, palpitations, syncope, and cardiac arrest.
Cardiovascular
Survival potential priority-setting framework components
Emergent, Urgent, Nonurgent, Expectant
Always be aware of ____ _____. Staple of Safe Dosage Practice.
Adverse Effects
What body system is affected as a result of an allergic reaction to medication
with symptoms of anxiety and coma?
Neurological
Gives priority to the client who has the greatest safety risk which in turn
produces a risk reduction.
Safety and risk reduction priority-setting framework
A common neuropsychiatric state that has a sudden onset and can last hours
to days or weeks. Characterized by hyper or hypoactivity.
Delirium
What type of allergic reaction is signified by tingling, hives, itching, flushing,
and warmth?
Dermatological
What body system is associated with the symptoms caused as an allergic
reaction to medication? Dysphagia, abdominal cramping, vomiting, and
diarrhea.
Gastrointestinal
