NR304 HEALTH ASSESSMENT II ACTUAL
EXAM PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
●● veins. Answer: passive blood flow - do not have a pulse, returns to
the heart via movement through the skeletal muscles
●● femoral pulse site. Answer: groin
●● popliteal pulse site. Answer: back of knee
●● radial pulse site. Answer: Located at the wrist on the thumb side
●● dorsalis pedis pulse site. Answer: top of foot
●● posterior tibial pulse site. Answer: on medial surface of ankle near
ankle bone
●● ischemia. Answer: Lack of blood supply, causes pain
●● necrosis. Answer: long term lack of blood supply, tissue death
,●● axillary lymph nodes. Answer: located under the arms in the armpits
●● cervical lymph nodes. Answer: located along the sides of the neck
●● Epitrochlear lymph nodes. Answer: Epitrochlear lymph nodes- drains
from the hand and forearm
●● inguinal lymph nodes. Answer: located in the inguinal (groin) area of
the lower abdomen
●● lymphatic system. Answer: Composed of a network of vessels, ducts,
nodes, and organs. Provides defense against infection.
conserve fluid of proteins that leak out of capillaries
●● Children and Lymph Nodes. Answer: nodes can be enlarged with no
pain/infection
●● Pregnancy and PV. Answer: dependent edema, varicose veins
●● peripheral artery disease. Answer: A form of peripheral vascular
disease in which there is partial or total blockage of an artery, usually
one leading to a leg or arm. 50% of cases are African Americans. RF:
smoking, HTN, diabetes
, ●● intermittent claudication. Answer: when walking, muscle needs more
O2 blood, and you have any kind of occlusion, when walking pain is
increased
●● Pulse Scale. Answer: 0: absent
1+: weak
2+: normal
3+: increased, full, bounding
●● Allen test. Answer: determining the patency of the radial and ulnar
arteries by compressing one artery site and observing return of skin color
as evidence of patency of the other artery, determine if radial artery has
been damaged, press radial artery then see if ulnar artery perfuses to
hand
●● venous ulcers. Answer: bleed, medial malleolus
●● arterial (ischemic) ulcers. Answer: does not bleed, has a necrotic
black crust, lateral malleolus
●● neuropathic ulcer. Answer: destroys nerve endings, burning
pain/numbness
