Intro to Nursing - Exam 1
A lipoprotein that reduces the surface tension, so that the alveoli in the lungs are
able to expand? - ANS - Surfactant
\Amount of air moving in and out with each breath - ANS - tidal volume
\Amount of inhaled or exhaled from the lungs? - ANS - Tidal volume
\Blood pressure below 100/60 mm Hg? - ANS - Hypotension
\Blood pressure when a patient sits or stands? - ANS - Orthostatic hypotension
\Branch of philosophy dealing with standards of conduct and moral judgement? -
ANS - Ethics
\Collapsed portion (alveoli) of the lung? - ANS - Atelectasis
\Cyclic breathing pattern characterized by periods of respirations of increased
rate and depth alternating with periods of apnea? - ANS - Cheyne-Stokes
\Decreased body temperature? - ANS - Hypothermia
\Difference between hypoventilation and hyperventilation? - ANS - Hypo-not
enough O2 in blood; Hyper-too much O2 in the blood.
\Difference between primary, secondary and tertiary sources? - ANS - Primary,
can only be the patient; Secondary, info from families, medical records, or other
health care professionals; Tertiary, info from textbooks, nurse's and other health
care team responses to patient
\Difference between subjective and objective data? - ANS - Subjective, from the
client; Objective, from the nurse's senses.
\Elevated body temperature? - ANS - Hyperthermia
\Fever or elevated body temperature? - ANS - Febrile
\Fever? (exceeds 99.6F) - ANS - Pyrexia
\Harsh inspiratory sound that may be compared to crowing; may indicate an
upper airway obstruction - ANS - Stridor
\High-pitched musical sound; partial obstruction of the bronchi or bronchioles, as
in asthma - ANS - Wheezing
\How do the chambers of the heart circulate? - ANS - Right ventricle is pulmonary
(lung); Left ventricle pushes blood to the the rest of the system (systemic)
\How do you report the temperature? - ANS - In Farenheit.
\How does blood transport the oxygen (2)? - ANS - Small amounts are dissolved
into plasma, but most is attached to hemoglobin (it carries it in molecular
form--important for metabolism)
\How is carbon dioxide used in the body? - ANS - Combined with water it
dissociates into bicarbonate ions, forming bicarbonate buffer system, which is
key in maintaining the body's acid-base balance
, \How is nursing distinguished? - ANS - specialized education, body of knowledge,
ethics, autonomy, professional organizations
\How is ventilation regulated? - ANS - Neural pathways; medulla oblongata and
pons
\Increased carbon dioxide level? - ANS - Hypercarbia
\Increased rate (above 20 beats/minute) and depth of respirations? - ANS -
Kussmaul
\Increased respiratory rate; rapid, shallow breaths? - ANS - Tachypnea (not
neurologic)
\Means being faithful to one's commitments or promises? - ANS - Fidelity
\Means creating the conditions where patients can make their own decisions? -
ANS - Autonomy (self governing)
\Means doing good or promoting good? - ANS - Beneficence, ie performing
wound changes, administering pain meds, and providing emotional support.
\Means telling the truth? - ANS - Veracity
\Means to avoid doing harm, to remove from harm, and to prevent harm? - ANS -
Nonmaleficence, ie.giving meds to prevent further suffering, protecting from
chemically impaired practitioner, and reporting suspected child abuse to prevent
further abuse
\Means to impart information, exchange ideas, and express one's self? - ANS -
Communicate--process of giving and receiving information
\Narrowing of the interior of the artery due to build-up of: lipids, complex carbs,
fibrous tissues, blood issues - ANS - Atherosclerosis
\No fever, normal range temperature - ANS - Afebrile
\Normal adult rate for respirations? - ANS - 12-20 breaths/min
\Normal respiratory rate and rhythm? - ANS - Eupnea
\Obstructed airways: Upper airway ie and lower airway ie... - ANS - upper-foreign
object; lower-mucous
\Resistance in the pulmonary circulation? What does it affect? - ANS - Peripheral
Vascular Resistance; opposition to blood flow or impedance can increase b/p,
diastolic b/p is usually affected
\Slower, but regular respirations? - ANS - Bradypnea (can occur after certain
meds or injury to the brain)
\Stoke Volume X Heart Rate=Cardiac Output - ANS - Stoke volume 70mL/beat
\Term meaning shortness of breath (SOB)? - ANS - Dyspnea
\The amount of blood each ventricle pumps with each heartbeat? - ANS - Stoke
volume
\The force that blood exerts against the walls of the blood vessels? - ANS - Blood
pressure
