NURS 130 CSN Finals Study Guide |
Actual study set | Questions and
Answers
Does scope of practice change based on setting or patient's condition? - ANSW-No, scope of practice
does not change based on setting or after death
Can you run errands for patients if you are working in a hospital, home care? - ANSW-NO
Suspect abuse? - ANSW-Report to nurse your suspicions, any signs of abuse
Can you perform a skill that is not in your scope of practice if the nurse delegates you; if you think it was
unsafe and did it anyways what would be the consequences? - ANSW-You may refuse, inform nurse that
you do not have training or experience for that skill. Some consequences include fines and
imprisonment, liability to be charged with negligence and lose practice privileges.
Nursing Process - ANSW-5 step systematic method for giving care:
Assessment
Diagnosis
Planning
Implementation
Evaluation
-CNA reports observations that are useful in assessment & evaluation, however, cannot make
assessments or diagnosis. CNA is primary in implementation of care plan & participating in care plan
conferences.
How many hours of employment must a CNA work every 2 years to renew certification? - ANSW-40 hrs
How many hours of continuum education every 2 years? - ANSW-24
emesis - ANSW-vomiting
voiding - ANSW-urination
afebrile - ANSW-without fever
foot drop - ANSW-neurological problem in which muscles in calf tighten, toes point downward. Foot
board keeps feet at right angle.
tronchanter roll - ANSW-rolled sheet or bath blanket placer under patient waist mid-thigh to prevent
lateral hip rotation
supine position - ANSW-lying face up
prone positon - ANSW-pt on abdomen, spine straight extended legs
sims position - ANSW-left side with leg leg extended forward, left arm extended back, right leg flexed,
right arm flexed brought forward.
ideal for enema administration
BPH
(Begin prostatic hypertension) - ANSW-non-cancerous enlargement of prostrate gland
, Respiratory system structure & function - ANSW-provides oxygen for cell activity, expells cell gaseous &
metabolic waste (CO2)
Structure:
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi (larger tubes)
Bronchioles (tree branches)
alveoli (air-filled sacs look like grapes)
Upper respiratory infection - ANSW-Invasion of upper resp. organs by pathogens.
Symptoms: Fever, runny, watery eyes)
Report:
-dyspnea, changes in rate/rhythm of respiration
-cough
-changes in skin color: pallor or cyanosis
Emphysema - ANSW-chronic obstruction of air flow to alveoli; air sacs become distended, lose elasticity,
dysfunctional recoil, cannot exchange gases
Shearing - ANSW-skin moves in one direction while muscles and bones remain fixed or move opposite
direction
Colostomies stool consistency - ANSW-Ascending:fluid, semi-fluid
Trasverse (horizontal): mushy
Descending: semi-mushy to solid
sigmoid (end of colon): formed feces
PVD S&S - ANSW-S&S
-Burning pain in exercise
-hair loss on toes and feet; thick, rigid toenails
-dusky red skin or cyanotic, brownish skin
-dry or scaly, shiny skin
-chronic edema of feet and legs
-cool skin temp. feet & legs
-difficulty ambulating
PVD Precautions - ANSW--Be careful moving/ transporting patient
-elevate feet when sitting or lying too long
-discourage smoking, tight socks, & leg crossing
-prevent injury to feet (wear shoes, avoid pressure)
-report inflammation, injury, circulatory problems
PVD Treatment/Complications - ANSW-Increase local circulation & prevent injury
gangrene, amputation, blood clots
TIA Definition - ANSW-transient ischemic attack (mini stroke)
