Pass your NURS 5220 midterm exam with confidence using this comprehensive, evidence-based review guide. Covering over 100 essential questions and answers, this resource breaks down the most testable concepts in advanced health assessment and clinical decision-making. Master nonmaleficence, utilitarianism, and patient autonomy—the ethical foundations of care. Learn to build a complete patient history using the SOAP note format, including chief complaint (CC), history of present illness (HPI), past medical history (PMH), family history (FH), personal and social history (SH), and review of systems (ROS). Develop critical interviewing skills with validated screening tools like CAGE, TACE, and CRAFFT for substance use, HITS for intimate partner violence, and FICA for spiritual assessment. Understand the difference between screening and assessment, and learn how to approach sensitive topics including sexuality, domestic violence, and mental health. Master the four physical exam techniques—inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation—with special attention to the abdominal exam order. Learn anthropometric measurements including BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, triceps skinfold thickness, and mid-arm muscle area (MAMA) for nutritional assessment. Each answer includes clear rationales, making this guide perfect for last-minute review or deep study sessions in graduate-level nursing, nurse practitioner programs, and advanced health assessment courses.
