NSG 3130 / NSG3130 EXAM 4 | ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS | NEW UPDATE 2026/2027 | FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS & SKILLS FOR NURSING PRACTICE II REVIEW | GRADED A+. Components of the heart - CORRECT-ANSWER-the pump the electrical system the vascular system the blood volume serum lipid levels - CORRECT-ANSWER-fats can clog blood vessels and decrease blood flow. LDL should be less than 130. HDL greater than 45 males, 55 females. total cholesterol lower than 200. Triglycerides less than 160 males, females 135 or less. Serum Electrolytes - CORRECT-ANSWER-can affect the conduction of the heart Hemoglobin - CORRECT-ANSWER-An iron-containing protein in red blood cells that reversibly binds oxygen. Creatinine kinase and troponin - CORRECT-ANSWER-is elevated with cardiac cell death. usually indicates an MI Wheezing - CORRECT-ANSWER-High pitched sound heard in the lungs with asthmatics or lung disease. Severely constricted or inflamed airways. EXHALE Place patients head to the side when suctioning - CORRECT-ANSWERtracheostomy and endotracheal tubes/cleaning - CORRECT-ANSWERare STERILE procedures only apply suction for 5-10 seconds Nasal cannula - CORRECT-ANSWER-24-45% O2 at 2-6 L very drying to membrane. Can humidify face mask - CORRECT-ANSWER-40-60% O2 at 5-8L Do not place on hypercapnia patients on because they retain CO2 too much. This can cause respiratory depression. stridor - CORRECT-ANSWER-Harsh or high-pitched respiratory sound, caused by an obstruction of the air passages. Upper respiratory. Medical emergency. INHALE Kussmaul respirations - CORRECT-ANSWER-Deep, rapid breathing; usually the result of an accumulation of certain acids when insulin is not available in the body. DKA or renal failure BiPAP/CPAP - CORRECT-ANSWER-what two types of oxygen delivery devices would be recommend for patient with obstructed sleep apnea, COPD, or pulmonary edema. Keeps a positive pressure to keep airway open and not collapsed. Room air is ____% oxygen. - CORRECT-ANSWER-21 Anything above room air is - CORRECT-ANSWER-considered a medical administration and needs an order COPD - CORRECT-ANSWER-Chronic emphysema or bronchitis frequent respiratory infections barrel chest cystic fibrosis - CORRECT-ANSWER-A genetic disorder that is present at birth and affects both the respiratory and digestive systems. thick/sticky mucus chronic hypoxia decreased absorption of vitamins and minerals CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) - CORRECT-ANSWERprovides continuous positive airway pressure; that is, it provides the same pressure during both inhalation and exhalation BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) - CORRECT-ANSWER-• It uses two pressures: a higher pressure during inhalation and a lower pressure during exhalation. Treats more complex breathing disorders If a patient is not breathing and does not have a pulse, which oxygen delivery device will be used first? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Bag-valve-mask unit (Ambu bag) If a patient is having fluid overload in lungs (pulmonary edema) that is indicated by difficulty breathing and fine crackles in lung sounds, what should be done? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Administer the IV diuretic to get fluid out What could happen as a result of chronic AFIB? - CORRECT-ANSWERStrokes due to blood clots being formed When a patient has a DVT, what should be the most important question to ask? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Ask for any chest pain or SOB to check for PE postural drainage - CORRECT-ANSWER-use of body positioning to assist in removal of secretions from specific lobes of the lung, bronchi, or lung cavities Patients with cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, COPD, abscesses, or difficulty removing respiratory secretions would benefit from this. What is a normal lab finding in patients with CHF and pitting edema? - CORRECTANSWER-Low percent of HCT. Hemodilution is normal when there is fluid excess. Why are chest tubes used? - CORRECT-ANSWER-They are inserted to drain the pleural space and reestablish negative pressure for proper lung expansion Also to release air or fluid in lungs How often are chest tube drainage systems drained out? - CORRECTANSWERHardly ever. Just to reduce the chance of more air getting in lungs
