This document is a comprehensive study guide for NUR 155 Exam 1, containing approximately 200 exam-style questions with 100% correct answers focused on fundamental nursing concepts. It covers essential topics such as health and wellness models, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, infection control principles, chain of infection, asepsis techniques, and levels of prevention. As shown on page 1, the document begins with core definitions like health and wellness, while subsequent sections (pages 2–10) expand into wellness components, illness stages, and infection prevention strategies. The material is organized in a clear question-and-answer format, making it ideal for active recall and foundational understanding. Later sections (pages 15–25) cover physical assessment techniques, including inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation, as well as vital nursing skills like PPE usage, hand hygiene, and patient safety protocols. The final sections (pages 25–30) focus on vital signs, oxygen saturation, blood pressure ranges, and pulse assessment, ensuring students are well-prepared for both theoretical exams and practical applications. This study guide aligns with introductory nursing curricula and is particularly relevant for students using textbooks such as Fundamentals of Nursing by Patricia A. Potter, Anne Griffin Perry, Patricia A. Stockert, and Amy Hall. It is ideal for students enrolled in NUR 155, Fundamentals of Nursing, Pre-Nursing, and BSN programs at institutions such as Galen College of Nursing. This resource is especially beneficial for first-year nursing students seeking to build a strong foundation in nursing principles, improve exam performance, and prepare for future coursework and clinical practice.
