NURS 6512 EXAM QUESTIONS
BANK; COMPLETE ACCURATE
QUIZZES WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
·Communication techniques used to obtain a patient's
health history - correct answer- Courtesy,
Comfort, Connection, Confirmation
Abnormal Nail Findings in Older Adults - correct
answer- The nails thicken, become more brittle,
and may be deformed, misshapen, striated, distorted, or
peeling. They can take on a yellowish color and may lose
their transparency. These changes occur most often in the
toenails. Longitudinal ridging of the nail is a common
expected variation.
Anatomy and Physiology of Skin Layers - correct
answer- • Epidermis-The topmost layer is the
stratum corneum (cornified layer), which is composed of
closely packed, dead, keratin-filled squamous cells, which
is the chief mechanical barrier protecting the body against
,environmental exposures, pathogens, and restricting
water loss.
• Dermis-A richly vascular connective tissue layer of the
skin that supports and separates the epidermis from
adipose tissue. Elastin, collagen, and reticular fibers
provide resilience, strength, and stability. Sensory nerve
fibers located in the dermis form a complex network to
provide sensations of pain, touch, and temperature.
• Hypodermis- A subcutaneous layer that consists of loose
connective tissue filled with adipose. This adipose layer
generates heat and provides insulation, shock absorption,
and a reserve of calories.
Assessment of Abdominal Pain in Women - correct
answer- 1. Have the patient empty his or her
bladder before the examination begins; a full bladder
interferes with accurate examination of nearby organs
and makes the examination uncomfortable.
2. Salpingitis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Ruptured
Ovarian Cyst, Ectopic Pregnancy
BMI Measurements - correct answer- •
Undernutrition—under 18.5
, • Appropriate weight for height—18.5 to 24.9
• Overweight—25 to 29.9
• Obesity—30 or greater
Characteristics of Bowel Sounds Heard During
Auscultation - correct answer- -Usually heard
as clicks and gurgles that occur irregularly and range from
5 to 35 per minute.
-Bowel sounds are generalized so most often they can be
assessed adequately by listening in one place. -Loud
prolonged gurgles are called borborygmi (stomach
growling).
-Increased bowel sounds may occur with gastroenteritis,
early intestinal obstruction, or hunger. -High-pitched
tinkling sounds suggest intestinal fluid and air under
pressure, as in early obstruction. -Decreased bowel
sounds occur with peritonitis and paralytic ileus.
-Absent bowel sounds, referring to an inability to hear any
bowel sounds after 5 minutes of continuous listening, is
typically associated with abdominal pain and rigidity and
is a surgical emergency.
