NR 325 Adult Health II Exam 1 Study Guide 2026 | 150+ Questions and Answers | Endocrine Disorders, Diabetes Mellitus, Renal Failure, Dialysis, Glaucoma, Cataracts & Sensory Disorders | Chamberlain University

This comprehensive NR 325 Adult Health II Exam 1 study guide contains more than 150 exam-style questions and detailed answers covering major concepts in endocrine, metabolic, renal, ophthalmologic, and sensory system nursing care. Developed for Chamberlain University NR 325 students, the resource provides extensive review material focused on clinical judgment, nursing interventions, diagnostic testing, pharmacology, patient education, and priority nursing care commonly assessed on Adult Health II examinations. The endocrine section provides in-depth coverage of pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreatic disorders, including diabetes insipidus, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid storm, myxedema coma, Cushing’s syndrome, and postoperative endocrine management. Students review laboratory interpretation, hormone regulation, diagnostic testing, medication management, radioactive iodine therapy, levothyroxine replacement, methimazole therapy, and recognition of life-threatening endocrine emergencies. The content emphasizes pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, nursing priorities, and evidence-based treatment approaches. A major focus of this document is diabetes mellitus management, including Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS), insulin administration, glucose monitoring, nutrition therapy, oral antidiabetic medications, glycemic control, and prevention of acute and chronic complications. Students gain practical understanding of insulin pharmacology, hypoglycemia management, diabetic education, lifestyle modification, and interpretation of hemoglobin A1C values. The renal and urinary elimination section covers acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), nephrolithiasis, pyelonephritis, urinary diagnostics, dialysis therapy, arteriovenous fistulas, electrolyte imbalances, fluid management, acid-base disturbances, and complications associated with renal dysfunction. Emphasis is placed on laboratory interpretation, dialysis preparation and monitoring, renal replacement therapies, medication considerations, and patient safety. Clinical decision-making scenarios reinforce nursing prioritization skills for clients experiencing renal compromise. Additional content addresses ophthalmologic and sensory disorders including glaucoma, cataracts, visual acuity testing, eye medication administration, Meniere’s disease, hearing loss, hearing aid management, vertigo, and ototoxic medications. Students review assessment findings, pharmacologic interventions, postoperative care, communication strategies, preventive care, and patient teaching essential for nursing practice in adult health settings. The study material aligns with evidence-based concepts presented in leading nursing references, including Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing, Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, and Medical-Surgical Nursing. The content supports mastery of adult health nursing concepts while strengthening clinical reasoning, NCLEX-style test-taking skills, and safe patient care practices. This resource is particularly valuable for students preparing for NR 325 Exam 1, Adult Health II examinations, Medical-Surgical Nursing courses, ATI Medical-Surgical assessments, HESI specialty examinations, and NCLEX-RN preparation. The question-and-answer format promotes active recall, reinforces high-yield concepts, and helps learners identify knowledge gaps before high-stakes nursing examinations.
