NR 509 FINAL EXAM REVIEW (ACTUAL 2025)
QUESTIONS & VERIFIED ANSWERS
what is objective information
What you detect during the examination, laboratory
information, & test data. All physical exam findings, or signs.
what can cause epistaxis
Trauma (especially nose picking), inflammation, drying and
crusting of the nasal mucosa, tumors, and foreign bodies
Rinne Test
Tuning fork at external auditory meatus; then on mastoid bone
While air conduction through the external or middle ear is
impaired, vibrations through bone bypass the problem to
reach the cochlea.
Chalazion
,A sub acute nontender usually painless nodule caused by a
blocked meibomian gland.
Usually points inside the lid rather than on the lid margin.
what a retracted tympanic membrane with effusion looks like
(p.288)
what an ulcer due to venous insufficiency looks like
(p.525 538)
why venous insufficiency causes edema, swelling and
ulceration
Chronic obstruction and incompetent valves in the deep
venous system.
deep Buerger test is for chronic arterial insufficiency
patient's LE Buerger color changes with first raising the LE
while supine, then having patient sit up. Normal= return of
pinkness in<10 sec, filling of veins in <15 sec
, signs of pneumonia
Dullness replaces resonance, crackles can arise from
abnormalities of the lung parenchyma, pleural rubs, localized
bronchophony and egophony (in patients with fever and
cough the presence of bronchial breath sounds and egophony
more than triples the likelihood of pneumonia.
Pleuritic pain: sharp, knifelike, aggravated by deep
inspiration, coughing, movements of the trunk. Often
persistent and severe.
When performing a breast exam, identify what abnormal
masses should do when the arm moves
Fibroadenoma: very mobile
Cysts: mobile
Cancer: may be fixed to skin or underlying tissues (may cause
dimpling of skin or retraction when arms are lifted over head
or hands are pressed against hips)
hepatitis A
Transmitted through fecal-oral route.
