NSG 300 Exam 1 GCU/ NSG 300 Exam 1 prep Newest
2025 includes accurate and verified questions
covering foundational nursing concepts such as the
nursing process, patient-centered care,
communication, safety and infection control, clinical
skills.
factors affecting temperature: environment - <<<correct answer>>>room
temperature/ temperature outside can lead to increase or
decrease body temperature
fever - <<<correct answer>>>Abnormally high body temperature
important mechanism and enhances immune system
hyperthermia - <<<correct answer>>>abnormally high body temperature
due to the body inability to promote heat loss or reduce heat
production
hypothermia - <<<correct answer>>>Abnormally low body temperature
often associated with exposure to cold and the body is unable to
compensate
heatstroke - <<<correct answer>>>prolonged exposure to the sun or high
environmental temperature
overwhelms the heat-loss mechanisms the body
,heat exhaustion - <<<correct answer>>>condition resulting from
exposure to heat and excessive loss of fluid through diaphoresis
results in excess water and electrolyte loss
normal pulse range - <<<correct answer>>>60-100 bpm
strong and regular
factors that influence pulse: exercise - <<<correct answer>>>short term
exercise increases pulse rate
heart conditioned by long term exercise (athlete) will have lower
resting pulse
what factors influence pulse - <<<correct answer>>>Exercise
Temperature
Acute pain
Emotions
Drugs
Hemorrhage
Position changes
Pulmonary conditions
factors that influence pulse: temperature - <<<correct answer>>>fever
and heat increase pulse
hypothermia decrease pulse
factors that influence pulse: acute pain - <<<correct answer>>>increase
in sympathetic activity will increase HR
effects of chronic pain/parasympathetic stimulation increases by
unrelieved pain which decreases HR
factors that influence pulse: emotions - <<<correct answer>>>SNS
increase pulse (anxiety)
PNS decrease pulse
, factors that influence pulse: medications - <<<correct
answer>>>epinephrine- increase HR
beta adrenergic and CC blockers decrease HR
factors that influence pulse: hemorrhage - <<<correct
answer>>>sympathetic stimulation by loss of blood increases HR
factors that influence pulse: postural changes - <<<correct
answer>>>stand: increases HR
lying down: decreases HR
factors that influence pulse: pulmonary conditions - <<<correct
answer>>>(asthma, COPD)--> increased HR due to poor oxygenation
tachycardia - <<<correct answer>>>Abnormally rapid HR >100bpm
Bradycardia - <<<correct answer>>>abnormally slow HR <60bpm
dysrhythmia - <<<correct answer>>>Abnormal heart rhythm/missed
beats
normal respiration range - <<<correct answer>>>12-20 breaths per
minute
deep and regular
as you age you need _____ breaths/min - <<<correct answer>>>less
factors affecting respiration - <<<correct answer>>>acute pain
exercise
anxiety
smoking
body position
medications
neurological injuries
