Medical Surgical Nursing Test Bank
Comfort - ANSWERS-A state of physical well-being, pleasure, and absence of pain or
stress
Interventions for patients with decreased comfort - ANSWERS-Anticipate pain and
emotional stress, collaborate with members of the inter professional team as needed,
and implement pain management measures
Elimation - ANSWERS-The excretion of waste from the body by the gastrointestinal (GI)
tract (as feces) and by the urinary system (as urine)
Bowel elimination - ANSWERS-Occurs as a result of food and fluid intake and ends with
passage of feces (stool) or solid waste products from food into the rectum of the colon
Urinary Elimination - ANSWERS-Occurs as a result of multiple kidney processes and
ends with the passage of urine through the urinary tract
Continence - ANSWERS-Voluntary control of both bowel and urinary elimination
Incontinence - ANSWERS-Lack of bowel or bladder control
Retention - ANSWERS-inability to expel stool or excrete urine
Obstipation - ANSWERS-Inability to pass stool
Oliguria - ANSWERS-Scant urine
Anuria - ANSWERS-absence of urine
Aging (when pelvic muscles weaken), neurologic disorders, excessive laxative use,
other medication use, GI infections, and lack of exercise - ANSWERS-Risk factors for
incontinence include:
Adequate nutrition and hydration, diet high in fiber, stay well hydrated, health teaching,
and collaboration with inter professional team - ANSWERS-Interventions to prevent
changes in elimination include:
Foods high in potassium - ANSWERS-Oranges and potatoes
Fluid and electrolyte balance - ANSWERS-The regulation of body fluid, fluid osmolality,
and electrolytes by processes such as filtration, diffusion, and osmosis.
Where is extracellular fluid found? - ANSWERS-The vascular space (plasma) and
interstitial space (fluid between cells, often referred to as third space fluid)
Electrolytes - ANSWERS-Chemicals in the body needed for normal body functioning,
especially the heart and brain
Acute illnesses (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea), severe burns, serious injury or trauma,
chronic kidney disease, surgery, poor nutritional intake, and older adults - ANSWERS-
Risk factors that can alter a person's fluid and electrolyte balance include:
What is the minimum hourly urinary output? - ANSWERS-Atleast 30mL per hour
Increase in blood pressure due to increased blood volume, peripheral pulses are often
strong and bounding and peripheral edema occurs. - ANSWERS-What are the signs
and symptoms of someone experiencing fluid excess (overload)?
Hypotension, tachycardia and weak/thready pulses. - ANSWERS-What are the signs
and symptoms of someone experiencing a fluid volume deficit?
