Nurs 5000 Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
(We use PICOT to formulate a research question) What is the
find the components of PICOT in this example.
In ventilated patients, does the head of the bed elevation of 45
degrees compared to 20 degrees, reduce incidence of ventilated
pneumonia? Correct Answer P= ventilated patients
I= head of bed elevation 45 degrees
C= compared to 20 degrees
O= reduce incidence of ventilated pneumonia
(no T in this example)
2 ethical perspectives of research:
1. Deontological
2. Utilitarian Correct Answer Deontological: rule-based,
never use deception, always protect ID of participants, never
apply pressure to participant, patient welfare takes priority over
the research. Whether the action is right or wrong.
Utilitarian: consequences/outcomes are the most important,
greatest good and happiness for the greatest number. Useful and
practical rather than attractive.
4 essential concepts of nursing theory and metaparadigm.

,A nurse who is able to identify and achieve objectives is
demonstrating which aspect of Benner's model? Correct
Answer Expert (stage 5)
A type of definition that refers to the conceptual meaning?
Correct Answer Theoretical definition
A type of definition that specifies how you would observe or
measure the concept. Correct Answer Operational definition
(ex. Pain scale)
AEB=
AMB=
R/t= Correct Answer as evidence by
as manifested by
related to
Amsler Grid Test could help diagnosis what eye condition?
Correct Answer Macular Degneration
Aphakia Correct Answer absence of lens in the eye (a
refractive error)
arcus senilis Correct Answer age related degeneration of the
cornea
Astigmatism Correct Answer visual distortion (a refractive
error)
Betty Neuman Correct Answer The Neuman Systems Model
,Focus on a persons reaction to stress.
Client viewed as multidimensional, interacting with the
environment (and its external and internal stressors)
Cataracts
- Pathophysiology
- Sign/symptoms
- Management
- Risk Factors Correct Answer Pathophysiology:
- Lens opacity that interferes with transmission of light,
decreases transparency of lens.
- Traumatic (foreign body, or humor enters lens) Congenital,
Senile (new fibers grow on areas of lens)
Signs/Symptoms:
- glare, opacity with lens, abnormal color perception.
Management:
- Medical: surgery
- Nursing: Teaching (Medications long term may cause these:
Glucocorticoid therapy, antipsychotics, statins. Eye protections
from sun and radiation)
Risk Factors: aging, female, diabetes, exposure to radiation,
tobacco use, high alcohol intake, lack of dietary antioxidants.
Common types of Charting: Charting By Exception (CBE)
- Define, advantages, disadvantages Correct Answer Chart
only significant findings or exceptions to normals and standards.
, Use pre-printed lists and forms.
Advantages: reduce time with charting, repetitive charing, easily
to read/understand.
Disadvantage: omissions of pertinent information.
Common types of Charting: FACT System
- Define, advantages, disadvantages Correct Answer Uses
many charting by exception principles.
F= flowsheets
A= assessment standardized with baseline
C= concise
T= timely entries documented when care is given.
Advantages: reduce time with charting, repetitive charing, easily
to read/understand.
Disadvantage: omissions of pertinent information.
Common types of Charting: Focus/ DAR charting
- Define, advantages, disadvantages Correct Answer View
the positives rather than problem oriented.
Chart about focus with DAR
D= data
A= action
R= response
advantage: holistic approach
disadvantage: lack of common problem list, difficult to track
client progress.
