NR 511 FINAL EXAM STUDY
GUIDE PREP QUESTIONS WITH
100% CORRECT ANSWERS
•Anterior drawer test: - correct answer- used in
initial clinical assessment of suspected rupture of the
cruciate ligaments in the knee.
abscess care - correct answer- •Goals: relieve
symptoms, promote healing and prevent complications
•Incision and drainage
•Antibiotics
•Pain relief
•Warm compresses
•Wound care
Acute bacterial prostatitis is always associated with? -
correct answer- a UTI and has a characteristically
abrupt onset. Fever, chills, low back pain, tenesmus, and
urinary complaints typical of UTI are common
,acute lymphoblastic leukemia - correct answer-
-most common cause of cancer in young children
-symptoms: pallor, fatigue, bleeding, fever, bone pain,
adenopathy, arthralgias, and hepatosplenomegaly
-•CBC with differential: leukopenia with lymphoblasts
after 6mnths of therapy with finasteride for BPH? -
correct answer- PSA should decrease by about
50%.
Anemia of chronic disease: - correct answer-
presents with a low serum iron level, along with a low
TIBC. The serum transferrin level is either normal or
increased in patients with ACD. Finally, the clinician
should expect the transferrin saturation to be low, as it is
in iron-deficiency anemia
animal bites & scratches - correct answer-
should be cleansed with mild soap and water or 1%
povidone-iodone (Betadine) solution to remove the
animal's saliva from the wound. The wound should be
,irrigated with 500 to 2,000mL of normal saline with a
30mL syringe with an 18- to 20- gauge plastic catheter to
achieve a pressure of 5 to 8 psi. Bite wounds of the hand
should not be sutured.If the patient received a primary
immunization series but not a booster within the past 5
years a tetanus booster should be administered. Patients
should receive antibiotic prophylaxis for 3 to 5 days if the
wound is a fresh bite wound
appendicitis - correct answer- •Constant
periumbilical pain shifting to the right lower quadrant;
vomiting following the pain; a small volume of diarrhea;
may not always vomit
appendicitis sx - correct answer- •Symptoms:
pain (dull, sharp, mild or severe); fever, chills, loss of
appetite, malaise, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting
•Obturator sign: is elicited when, with the patient's right
hip and knee flexed, the examiner slowly rotates the right
leg internally, which stretches the obturator muscle. Pain
over the right lower quadrant (RLQ) is considered a
positive sign.
, bacterial prostatitis - correct answer-
accompanied by bladder obstruction symptoms such as
weak urine stream, hesitancy or dribbling, hematuria,
hematospermia, and/or painful ejaculationaccompanied
by bladder obstruction symptoms such as weak urine
stream, hesitancy or dribbling, hematuria,
hematospermia, and/or painful ejaculation
bacterial prostatitis in younger males - correct
answer- symptoms are acute and are associated
with STI
bacterial prostatitis-most common pathogen - correct
answer- E. coli
bacterial prostatitis-rectal exam - correct answer-
should be performed gently because vigorous
manipulation of the prostate can result in septicemia.
Therefore, prostatic massage is contraindicated
best way to spot an iron deficiency early - correct
answer- serum measurement of ferritin, the body's
