QUESTIONS WIT H CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
What are some prioritization principles
life before limb, acute vs chronic, actual before potential, trends vs transient findings,
and medical emergencies and complications vs expected findings.
what are the important tasks for time management
what needs to be done immediately, what needs to be done in a specific time, what
needs to be done by end of shift, and what can the nurse delegate.
what are different negotiation strategies
problem solving, progressive discipline, and negotiation
describe the problem solving strategy
open communication (I statement, listen to others, move to private location, and
share ground rules). *steps: ID the problem, discuss possible solutions, analyze
identified solutions, select and implement solution, evaluate the solutions' ability to
resolve conflict,
describe the progressive discipline steps
first (informal reprimand, meeting ,discuss issue, suggestions for improvement),
second (written warning, meeting, review policy violations and discuss
consequences), third (placed on suspension and can examine issue or consider
alternatives), fourth (employee termination).
describe the negotiation strategy
resolve conflict by agreeing on steps to take, bargain to protect interests and pursue
outcomes that benefit mutual interests. strategies include: avoiding/withdrawing,
smoothing, competing/coercing,cooperating/accommodating,
compromising/negotiating, and collaborating,
what are some findings of poor nutrition
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, flaccid muscles, mental status changes,
changes in bowel pattern, spleen/liver enlargement, dry brittle hair and nails, loss of
subq fat, dry scaly skin, inflammation, poor dental health, dry/dull eyes,
weakness/fatigue, changes in weight, and poor posture.

what are interventions to prevent aspiration
position in high fowlers, support upper back and neck, tick chin when swallowing,
avoid use of a straw, observe for aspiration and pocketing of food in cheeks or
mouth, observe for dysphagia (coughing, choking, gagging, and drooling of food),
and provide oral hygiene after meals and snacks.
describe START triaging
· based on Respirations, perfusion and mental status and allows for two
interventions: direct pressure to control bleeding and basic airway opening.
· START is green (minor/walking wounded), yellow (everyone else), red (respirations
over 30, cap refill longer than 2 seconds, unable to follow simple commands), or
black (apneic)
describe SALT triaging
used with mass casualty, involved grey (which is expectant *life threatening, but no
current resources are available)
How many CM are considered nonsterile around the object?
1 inch
What height should you add things to the sterile field
minimum of 6 inches
T/F: nurse can reach across the sterile field and not contaminate it
FALSE: nurse should not reach across the sterile field
Newborn vitals
RR: 30-60 breaths, HR: 110-160 BPM, BP: 60-80/40-50, Temperature: 97.7-99.5
Initial assessment after birth
skin color, peeling, birthmarks, foot creases, breast tissue, nasal patency, meconium
stain, PMI location, ease of breathing, quality of times, respirations for crackles,
wheezing and equality of bilateral breath sounds, rounded abdomen, umbilical cord
(with one vein and two arteries), muscle tone, reflexes, fontanels, sutures, and other
gross structural malformations.
Reflexes at birth
sucking/rooting, palmar grasp, plantar grasp, Moro reflex, tonic neck/fencer,
Babinski, and stepping.
DEF of SIDS
sudden, unpredictable death of an infant without an identified cause
RF for SIDS
