NRSG 126 midterm 2 tissue integrity, circulation,
oxygenation questions with verified answers
a decrease i preload can result in low volume or decreased venous
return which can result in what? Ans✓✓✓ hypovolemia (abnormally
low extracellular fluid)
abnormal resp assessment findings Ans✓✓✓ -increased/decreased RR
-WOB
-SOB or SOBOE
-accessory muscle use
-cyanosis
-cough
-sputum
-hypoxia
-hypoxemia
-wheezes
-crackles
-diminished breath sounds
-absence of breath sounds
an increase in preload can cause volume overload or high pressure
which can result in what? Ans✓✓✓ heart failure
,Are plant fats saturated or unsaturated? Ans✓✓✓ unsaturated
arterial ulcer characteristics Ans✓✓✓ -5-30% of lower leg ulcers

margins
assessment factors for pressure injury? Ans✓✓✓ -sensory perception
-moisture
