NUR105 /NUR 105 FINAL Exam 2026-2027 BANK QUESTIONS
WITH DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS EXAM QUESTIONS
WILL COME FROM HERE (100% Latest Already Graded A+




1. The nurse is developing a human needs statement for a patient who
has a new diagnosis of heart failure. Identification of human needs
statements occur with which of these activities?
A) Collection of patient data
B) Administering interventions
C) Deciding on patient outcomes
D) Documenting the patient's behavior
Correct Answer: A) Collection of patient data
Rationale: The formulation of human needs statements, also known as
nursing diagnoses, is the second phase of the nursing process and is
directly derived from the analysis of collected patient data. The nurse
must first gather and interpret assessment data to identify patient
problems or needs before any interventions, outcomes, or
documentation can be effectively established .

2. The patient is to receive oral guaifenesin twice a day. Today, the
nurse was busy and gave the medication 2 hours after the scheduled
dose was due. What type of problem does this represent?
A) "Right time"
B) "Right dose"
C) "Right route"
D) "Right medication"
Correct Answer: A) "Right time"
Rationale: The administration of a medication significantly outside of its
scheduled time violates one of the core "Rights" of medication
administration: the Right time. While some medications have a window
for administration (e.g., 30 minutes before or after), a two-hour delay is
a significant deviation from the prescribed schedule .


3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient's progress on a new drug
regimen since the first dose and documenting the patient's therapeutic
response to the medication. Which phase of the nursing process do
these actions illustrate?
A) Human needs statement
B) Planning
C) Implementation
D) Evaluation
Correct Answer: D) Evaluation
Rationale: The evaluation phase of the nursing process involves
assessing the patient's response to nursing interventions, including

medications, and determining whether the expected outcomes have
been met. Monitoring and documenting the therapeutic response to a
drug is a key evaluation activity .


4. The nurse is assigned to a patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1
diabetes mellitus. Which statement best illustrates an outcome
criterion for this patient?
A) The patient will follow instructions.
B) The patient will not experience complications.
C) The patient will adhere to the new insulin treatment regimen.
D) The patient will demonstrate correct blood glucose testing
technique.
Correct Answer: D) The patient will demonstrate correct blood glucose
testing technique.
Rationale: Outcome criteria must be specific, measurable, and
observable. "Demonstrate correct blood glucose testing technique" is a
clear, behavioral objective that can be objectively evaluated. Vague
statements like "will follow instructions" or "will adhere" are not specific
enough to serve as measurable criteria .


5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing
process for the patient who is newly diagnosed with hypertension?
A) Providing education on keeping a journal of blood pressure readings
B) Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient's input

C) Recording a drug history regarding over-the-counter medications
used at home
D) Formulating human needs statements regarding deficient knowledge
related to the new treatment regimen
Correct Answer: A) Providing education on keeping a journal of blood
pressure readings
Rationale: Implementation is the phase where the nurse executes the
nursing interventions identified in the care plan. Patient education is a
direct intervention. Formulating diagnoses and setting goals are part of
the diagnosis and planning phases, respectively .


6. The medication order reads, "Give ondansetron 4 mg, 30 minutes
before beginning chemotherapy to prevent nausea." The nurse notes
that the route is missing from the order. What is the nurse's best
action?
A) Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit.
B) Give the medication orally because the tablets are available in 4-mg
doses.
C) Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered.
D) Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds.
Correct Answer: C) Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the
medication ordered.
Rationale: An incomplete medication order is a medication error waiting
to happen. The nurse must never assume the route. The safest and most
professional action is to contact the prescriber immediately to clarify
the order before proceeding .
