Preview 4 out of 36 pages

This NSG 3100 Exam 3 2026/2027 Questions and Answers study resource provides 30+ exam-style questions with correct answers and detailed rationales across 36 pages. The material focuses on essential nursing fundamentals involving safe medication administration, medication routes, dosage calculations, laboratory and diagnostic testing, specimen collection, gastrointestinal elimination, bowel care, urinary elimination, catheterization, ostomy management, and patient education. Many questions are presented as realistic clinical scenarios requiring students to identify priority interventions and apply safe nursing practices rather than rely solely on factual recall. The first major section concentrates on medication administration and medication safety. Students review sublingual and transdermal medications, contraindications to oral medication administration, patient identification, the rights of medication administration, use of the Medication Administration Record (MAR), herbal medications and potential interactions, dosage calculations, oral medication assistance, patient-centered medication goals, and the nurse's responsibility when a prescribed dose falls outside accepted standards. The opening question on page 1, for example, tests correct administration of sublingual nitroglycerin, while subsequent questions reinforce safe medication preparation and administration. Another substantial component covers laboratory values, specimen collection, and diagnostic procedures. Questions examine hematocrit, white blood cell counts, INR monitoring with warfarin, capillary blood glucose collection, cholesterol and triglyceride values, 24-hour urine collection, sterile specimen collection, creatinine in chronic renal failure, MRI contraindications, lumbar puncture aftercare, and preparation and follow-up for a barium swallow. These questions help students connect laboratory and diagnostic findings with nursing assessment, patient safety, and appropriate interventions. The gastrointestinal section provides focused preparation on bowel elimination and ostomy care. Students review ileostomy and colostomy care, WOCN referral, cleansing enemas, ascending versus descending colostomies, diarrhea, constipation, fluid and electrolyte balance, fiber intake, colonoscopy preparation, exercise and healthy bowel habits. Clinical scenarios emphasize prioritization, including recognizing dehydration and fluid imbalance as important concerns in patients experiencing prolonged diarrhea. The final portion concentrates heavily on urinary elimination and catheter care. Topics include indwelling catheter patency, clean-catch midstream urine specimens, prevention of urinary tract infections, intravenous pyelogram preparation, factors affecting urine color, urostomy care, sterile catheter insertion, catheter obstruction, accidental vaginal catheter placement, oliguria, bladder distention, urinary retention and bladder scanning. The questions repeatedly emphasize assessment and aseptic technique as central components of safe urinary care. The document is particularly valuable because most questions include answer rationales explaining why the selected response is correct and why competing options are inappropriate. This makes the material useful for active review of medication safety, diagnostic testing, elimination, clinical prioritization and fundamental nursing procedures. The uploaded document labels itself “Already Graded A+”; this wording is part of the source document and should not be interpreted as independent verification of a grade. Relevant students: This resource is most relevant to NSG 3100 students, Fundamentals of Nursing students, BSN students, ADN students, pre-licensure nursing students, nursing fundamentals candidates, and learners preparing for NCLEX-style nursing assessments. It is especially useful for students studying medication administration, laboratory interpretation, specimen collection, diagnostic procedures, bowel and urinary elimination, ostomy management, urinary catheterization, patient safety and nursing prioritization. The uploaded document identifies the course as NSG 3100 but does not identify a university, so a specific institution should not be added without supporting evidence.

Exam Questions and Answers |
Already Graded A+



The nurse is teaching a patient about how to take a sublingual

nitroglycerin tablet. Which statement by the patient best demonstrates

understanding of the teaching?

a. "I will take the tablet with plenty of water."

b. "I will place the tablet inside my cheek."

c. "I will put the tablet under my tongue."


d. "I will take the tablet while I am eating." - ANSWER ✔✔c. "I will put

the tablet under my tongue."

,Sublingual medications are placed under the tongue, where they are

absorbed quickly into systemic circulation. Medications placed in the

cheek are delivered by the buccal route. Sublingual medications should

be taken without water or food.

The nurse is caring for a critically ill patient. What are the

contraindications for administering medications by the oral route for this

type of patient? (Select all that apply.)

a. Vomiting

b. Unconsciousness

c. Diarrhea

d. Penicillin allergy


e. Intubation - ANSWER ✔✔a. Vomiting


b. Unconsciousness

c. Diarrhea




Nothing that needs to be swallowed should be administered to an

unconscious patient due to the risk of aspiration. Medications are

,unlikely to be absorbed in the patient who is vomiting. An endotracheal

tube makes it impossible for a patient to swallow oral medication. A

penicillin allergy affects the type of medication to administer but not the

route. A patient with diarrhea may have decreased absorption, but it

does not affect the ability to swallow medications safely.

The nurse is in a patient room ready to administer a new medication to

the patient. Which action best demonstrates awareness of safe, skilled

nursing practice?

a. Identify the patient by comparing the patient's name and birth date to

the medication administration record (MAR).




a. Identify the patient by comparing the patient's name and birth date to

the medication administration record (MAR).




b. Determine whether the medication and dose are appropriate for the

patient.

, d. Check the accuracy of the dose with another nurse. - ANSWER

✔✔a. Identify the patient by comparing the patient's name and birth date

to the medication administration record (MAR).




The right patient is one of the six rights to ensure safe administration of

the medication. At least two patient identifiers should be used and

compared with the armband or MAR. Determining the appropriateness

of a medication for a patient should be completed prior to entering the

patient room. Not all medications require another nurse to check the

accuracy of the dose. Determining whether the medication is available is

a time management issue.

A patient has been using herbal medication as part of her daily routine.

Which actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)

a. Document the herbs as part of the medication history.

b. Recommend a reputable company from which to buy herbs.

c. Allow the patient to self-administer the herbs with her morning

medications.

d. Inform the primary care provider of the findings.
