client? - correct answer-orthostatic hypotension
The loss of urine without any identifiable pattern or warning is called... - correct
answer-urinary incontinence
_________ is a condition in which an inadequate amount of oxygen is available to cells. This
results in difficulty breathing, increased respiratory and pulse rates, and pale skin with
regions of cyanosis. - correct answer-hypoxia
If there is decreased cardiac output, respiration rate will... - correct answer-increase
What does pulse oximetry test? - correct answer-the amount of oxygen saturation in the
blood
The nurse schedules a pulmonary function test to measure the amount of air left in a client's
lungs at maximal expiration. What test does the nurse order? - correct answer-Residual
Volume
the total amount of air inhaled and exhaled with one breath is referred to as.... - correct
answer-Tidal volume
the amount of air contained within the lungs at maximum inspiration is referred to as... -
correct answer-Total lung capacity
________ is used to increase the turbulence of exhaled air and loosen secretions from the
lungs - correct answer-vibration
can be done before or after percussion
Define evisceration. - correct answer-Evisceration occurs when contents of the body come
out through a wound/surgical incision site.
Define dehiscence. - correct answer-Dehiscence occurs when a surgical incision site starts
to "open at the seams," usually occurs due to obesity.
, While using the braden scale, the __________ the number, the higher the risk. - correct
answer-lower
think: the lower you're funtioning, the higher the risk
What are the 3 fundamental characteristics of wound assessment? - correct answer-Age
Depth
Color
What two age populations are at an increased risk for illness and injury? - correct

Which of the following categories of health promotion is aimed at preventing illness?
A. primary
B. secondary
C. tertiary
D. restorative - correct answer-A: primary.
Primary prevention aims to prevent a disease/complications as a whole. This would include
a healthy diet, exercise, and vaccinations/immunizations.
A nurse is working at a health fair that is offering blood screenings for diabetes and high
cholesterol. What level of health promotion is she helping to achieve? - correct
answer-Secondary prevention. This level of prevention aims for early detection of a disease
that already exists. So you would already have the diabetes and not know it yet; a blood test
would detect this early.
The chain of infection has 5 variables. The infectious agent (the virus/bacteria), the resovoir
(phones, bathrooms, door handles, water, plants and animals), the portal of exit (mouth,
eyes, sneezing etc), mode of transmission (touch, kissing, sexually transmitted), and portal
of exit (same as someone else's portal of exit). As a nurse, you should think of yourself as
what variable of this process? - correct answer-The mode of transmission. That's why we
practice things such as clean technique and surgical asepsis: we can very well be a mode of
transmission from one patient to another.
Mode of transmission is also things like kissing, sexually, touching etc
There are two types of bacteria: aerobic and anaerobic. Which is harder to kill and why? -
correct answer-Anaerobic. Since they don't need oxygen, these bacteria usually lie deep
within the brain or other hard to reach areas, therefore it makes them harder to kill.
How do we tell the difference between gram positive and gram negative bacteria on a stain?
- correct answer-Gram positive stains purple, has a thick wall, and don't decolorize. Gram
negative have a complex wall and can be decolorized.
Think positive = purple
