NURSING FUNDAMENTALS MID-TERM REVIEW WITH COMPLETE 300 REAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS/ ALREADY GRADED A+ (MOST
RECENT!!), with the strongest emphasis placed on Demonstrate mastery of core concepts, NUR
104 MIDTERM EXAM and EXCELSIOR COLLEGE. Every item follows the wording style and level
of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so the
correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own pace, mark the questions that
slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who revise
this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of meeting
them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper into a
comfortable pass.
Q1 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A nurse is preparing to administer a controlled substance. Which action best
exemplifies the nurse's legal and ethical responsibility in medication
administration?
A. Wasting the unused portion with a second nurse witnessing and documenting the waste
immediately CORRECT
B. Documenting the administration before giving the medication to ensure accurate charting
C. Counting the narcotic supply at the beginning and end of the shift and signing the count sheet
D. Placing the medication in a locked drawer and leaving it momentarily to attend to another
patient
RATIONALE: Immediate witnessed wasting of an unused controlled substance is required by
federal and state regulations to prevent diversion and ensure accountability. Documenting before
administration violates the rights of medication administration, counting is routine but not the
primary action, and leaving a controlled substance unattended is unsafe and illegal.

,Q2 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
Which of the following assessment findings is most indicative of early,
compensated shock?
A. Bradycardia with bounding pulses and warm, flushed skin
B. Tachycardia with cool, pale skin and delayed capillary refill CORRECT
C. Hypotension with a narrowed pulse pressure and rapid, shallow respirations
D. Oliguria with a widened pulse pressure and mental status changes
RATIONALE: In early compensated shock, compensatory mechanisms maintain blood pressure,
but signs of reduced perfusion appear: tachycardia, cool pale skin, and delayed capillary refill.
Hypotension and oliguria occur later in decompensated shock, while bradycardia and bounding
pulses are not characteristic of shock.
Q3 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A nurse is discharging a patient who speaks a different language. The patient's
adult child offers to interpret. Which action is most appropriate?
A. Use the child as interpreter to expedite discharge instructions
B. Request a certified medical interpreter to ensure accurate communication CORRECT
C. Provide written instructions in English and ask the patient to confirm understanding
D. Speak slowly and use gestures to overcome the language barrier
RATIONALE: Using a certified medical interpreter is the gold standard to ensure accurate,
unbiased, and confidential communication, especially for complex discharge instructions. Family
members, especially children, may lack medical vocabulary, introduce bias, or be emotionally
involved. Written English instructions and gestures do not guarantee comprehension.

, Q4 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
The nurse is to administer 750 mg of a medication. The pharmacy supplies the
medication in a liquid concentration of 250 mg per 5 mL. How many mL should the
nurse administer?
A. 10 mL
B. 15 mL CORRECT
C. 20 mL
D. 25 mL
RATIONALE: Using dimensional analysis: (750 mg / 250 mg) × 5 mL = 3 × 5 mL = 15 mL. The
other options represent common calculation errors: 10 mL would be 500 mg, 20 mL would be
1000 mg, and 25 mL would be 1250 mg.
Q5 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
During a wound irrigation, the nurse notices the solution is not returning from the
wound bed. Which action is most appropriate?
A. Increase the irrigation pressure to dislodge any debris
B. Stop irrigation and assess for a possible tunnel or tract CORRECT
C. Continue irrigation and document the amount of solution retained
D. Reposition the patient to facilitate drainage
RATIONALE: If irrigation fluid does not return, it may indicate a tunneling or tracking wound that
requires further assessment and possibly a different irrigation technique. Increasing pressure
could cause tissue trauma or force debris deeper. Continuing to instill fluid without return could
cause fluid accumulation and tissue damage.
