WGU D446 Adult Health 2 OA Exam Questions and Correct Answers 100% Verified
Graded A+
Clinical Prioritization - Focus on life-threatening conditions (e.g., MVA with absent breath
sounds, heart attack vs. chest pain).
Asthma - Recognize signs of exacerbation: increased mucus, dyspnea during exercise.
Emergency interventions for Asthma - Administer short-acting beta-agonists (e.g.,
albuterol), oxygen therapy.
Evaluate therapeutic responses in Asthma - ABG interpretation and symptom
improvement.
COPD Oxygen therapy - Target SpO₂ 88-92% for hypoxia.
COPD Dietary Consideration - High-protein, high-calorie small meals to maintain energy
levels.
Heart Attack vs. Chest Pain - Differentiate myocardial infarction (MI) from angina (e.g.,
persistent pain, diaphoresis, elevated troponin for MI).
Medications for Heart Attack - Morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, aspirin (MONA
protocol).
, Left-sided Heart Failure Symptoms - Pulmonary symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, orthopnea,
crackles).
Right-sided Heart Failure Symptoms - Peripheral symptoms (e.g., edema, ascites, JVD).
Management of Heart Failure - Diuretics (potassium-sparing vs. wasting), ACE inhibitors.
Cardiac Medication Classifications - Common Classes: Beta-blockers, Calcium channel
blockers, Diuretics.
Beta-blockers - Reduce heart rate.
Calcium channel blockers - Vasodilation.
Diuretics - Potassium-sparing (spironolactone) vs. potassium-wasting (furosemide).
Ischemic Stroke Symptoms - Sudden numbness, weakness, speech difficulty.
Management of Ischemic Stroke - Thrombolytic therapy (e.g., tPA).
Hemorrhagic Stroke Symptoms - Severe headache, nausea, loss of consciousness.
