NR 341 FINAL EXAM WITH 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025/2026
Acute Kidney Injury correct answers >> -rapid-onset disease
of the kidneys resulting in a failure to produce urine
-most common cause: sepsis
-will see: hyperkalemia, dialysis daily, possibly reversible
oliguric phase correct answers >> <400ml/day, U/A= casts,
RBCs, WBCs, sp gr 1.010, metabolic acidosis, increase potassium,
BUN, Cr, decreased sodium , fatigue and malaise
diuretic phase correct answers >> gradual increase in u/o, 1-
3L/day, hypovolemia, dehydration, hypotension, BUN and Cr
normalize
recovery phase correct answers >> begins when the GFR
increases, allowing the bun and serum creatinine levels to plateau
then decrease. Improvements occur generally in the first 1 to 2
weeks of this phase but may take up to 12 months to stabilize.
Chronic Kidney Disease correct answers >> -progressive,
irreversible deterioration in renal function d/t HTN, DM,
glomerulopathy, nephritis, polycystic disease, congenital.
-decrease 15ml/min GFR
-weak, fatigue, HA, increase BP, edema, heart failure, ammonia
breath, metallic taste, GI bleeding, behavior changes, anorexia,
N/V, muscle cramps
, -increase potassium, metabolic acidosis
trauma assessment correct answers >> 1. ABCD: airway
patency, breathing effectiveness, circulation, disability
2. head to toe exam, v/s, comfort, hx
focused assessment w/ sonography in trauma (FAST) correct
answers >> -rapid accurate
-sensitivity 86-99%
-can detect 100mo of blood
-cost effective
-pericardiac, perihepatic, perisplenic, peripelvic
-eliminates unnecessary CT scans
Surgery: preop correct answers >> education, NPO, consent,
V/S, iv site, IVF/ABX on call, review MAR for meds that would put
pt at risk, check labs (glucose on call), call report
surgery post op correct answers >> -v/s, color, ECG, emoboli,
assess activity level, check IV fluid and rate, electrolyte levels, GI
drainage, renal function,
-assess o2 needs, encourage cough and deep breathing and
incentive spirometer use,
-bowel sounds, flatus, bowel movement,
