FPCC Exam Review Questions and
answers/Complete Solutions
yawning, sleepy, preoccupied with somatic complaints, decreased attention span, difficulty
concentrating, problem solving, and remembering, hallucinations, tearful, irritable, depressed -
✔8 CMs of sensory deprivation
fatigue, sleepless, irritable, anxiety, reduced ability to problem solve, scattered and racing
thoughts, disoriented. - ✔7 CMs of sensory overload
PICC, tunneled, nontunneled, implanted port - ✔4 types of Central Lines for central IV therapy
antecubital - ✔where is a PICC line usually inserted into?
antibiotic therapy, chemo, parenteral nutrition - ✔3 common uses for a PICC central line.
sutured - ✔a non-tunneled catheter for central IV therapy is directly into the jugular,
femoral, or subclavian and is ___ into place.
,measuring central venous pressure (to assess blood volume) - ✔a NON-tunneled catheter
is most common for
infection, catheter or air embolus, bleeding, circulatory fluid overload - ✔4 things to monitor
for (possible complications) with IV therapy
Abductor pillow - ✔edge shaped pillow between the patient's legs, *used to prevent
internal hip rotation and hip abduction*
Used after femoral fracture, hip fracture, or surgery.
Two point crutch gait - ✔*partial weight bearing*, use both feet. This is faster, but offers
less support than the four point.
The foot opposite of the crutch goes forward, so advance left foot along with right crutch, then
right foot along with left crutch simultaneously.
Three point crutch gait - ✔*non-weight bearing*. Faster than a four-point gait. Can use with
walker.
Injured leg must be kept off the ground. Advance crutches, then advance good leg.
Four point crutch gait - ✔*Partial weight bearing*, use both feet. Patient must shift
weight constantly.
*Offers the most support, but is also the slowest.*
Patient will advance the right crutch, then advance the left foot. Then advance the left
crutch, then advance the right foot. This is not done simultaneously.
,Logrolling - ✔special turning technique used when the pt's spine must be kept in
straight alignment
You will need at least two nurses for this procedure, more if the patient is large. Logrolling
moves the patient's body as a unit. One nurse is positioned at the level of the patient's head.
The other staff members are distributed along the length of the patient. Everyone must
move the patient in unison.
Trapeze bar - ✔Triangular- shaped device that is attached to an overhead bed frame. The
patient can use the base of the triangle as a grip bar to move up in bed, turn, and pull up
in preparation for getting out of bed or getting on & off the bed pan.
Trochanter rolls - ✔made from tightly rolled towels, bath blankets, or foam pads. They
are placed snuggly adjacent to the hips & thighs *to prevent external rotation of the hips*
Transfer board - ✔a wood or plastic device designed to assist with moving patients.
1. Place the board under the patient on the side in which he/she will be moved.
2. It is best to use a draw sheet to slide the patient across the board.
*Also used by patients with long-standing mobility problems to increase their independence*
Mechanical lift - ✔hydraulic device used to transfer patients.
Place a fabric sling under the patient & attach chains or straps from the sling to the lifting
device.
-Especially useful when providing care for *obese & immobile patients.*
-Often seen in home care.
, -Most position patients in a *seated position, ideal for sitting them in a chair.*
-Some have the patient *supine, maybe to transfer patient from bed to stretcher, or have
them lifted up while we make their bed.*
Transfer belt - ✔a heavy belt several inches wide that is used to *facilitate transfer or
provide a secure mechanism to hold the patient when ambulating*
-Apply belt *around patient's abdomen*, close to their center of gravity.
-The belt may have external grip holds, or you may grip the entire belt with your hand.
Active range of motion (AROM) - ✔actively moving own extremity through ROM
like extension, flexion.
Want to encourage & teach clients to keep moving.
Passive range of motion (PROM) - ✔movements of the joints through their range of
motion *by another person*
-support above & below the joint
-take joint to point where pt starts to feel
resistance -avoid pain. if pt feels pain, stop -slow &
gentle movements
-pts can perform by themselves. pt should be taught to promote independence/control
Continuous passive motion (CPM) - ✔*device that repetitively but gently flexes & extends
the knee joint*
