NU110 FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND SKILLS FOR NURSING
EXAM QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS
2024/2025 GRADED A+
Hypothalamus
Thermal regulatory center of brain
Diastolic
Arterial pressure between heartbeats
Brachial
Major vessel in the arm BP is usually auscultated at
Dyspnea
difficult or labored breathing
Hypotension
Hemorrhage, hypovolemia, can lead to this type of pressure
Pyrogen
a substance, typically produced by a bacterium, that produces fever when introduced or
released into the blood.
Hypertension
abnormally high blood pressure. If left untreated causes damage to organs
Thready
Describes weak pulse that may disappear with pressure.
Systolic
Pressure during cardiac contraction exerted on the arterial wall.
Axillary
Check temperature if oral or tympanic is not possible.
Apical
Pulse determined at L5 intercostal midclavicular line.
Gown, mask, goggles, gloves
, Order of donning PPE
DM type 1 is an example of what illness
Chronic or primary illness
Primary illness
One that develops without being caused by another health problem
resistance stage
Stress related diseases such as IBS and eczema related to this stage of GAS
Transitioning
Self-medication, denial of illness, vague symptoms are signs of this stage of illness.
Primary prevention
Exercising is an example of this type of prevention
Morning
Older people have lower temperatures as this time of day
Respiratory Rate (RR)
Conscious awareness of a UAP counting these can create and inaccurate value of
these.
Apex
Area of the heart where the apical pulse is heard.
A bounding pulse is documented as
3+
Pressure pulse
Systolic BP - Diastolic BP
Gloves, goggles, gown, mask
Order of Doffing PPE
Susceptible
Decreased WBC can lead to this type of host
Negative pressure room
Room required for effective IC for air borne diseases/infections.
A person in restraints needs circulation checked how often
15-20 minutes
