NSG 3100 Exam 1
• cold baths: vasoconstriction: limit blood flow and poor perfusion
• diabetics are at a higher risk for infection because of high content in blood: sugar
*risk for neuropathy*
• The nurse should not soak feet in hot water for which patients?: stroke,diabetes,
peripheral vascular disease
• oral care: unconscious/comatose patients: every 4 hours with a smallamount of water or a
moistened foam swab
• Lanugo: peach fuzz
• Penidulosis: lice
• Hirsutism: bearded lady
• eye care should be done: once a year
• oral care should be done: every 6 months starting at 18 months
• Above 3 years old pull the pinna: up
• Below 3 years pull the pinna: down
• How to clean a hearing aid: a dry washcloth
• a patient with diabetes is more likely to suffer water temperature-relatedinjuries than
someone with a : stroke
• Which tool is used by the nurse to determine the risk for impaired skinintegrity?: The
Braden scale
• Starting with % in a post-stroke patient on day one is more achievablethan %:
25; 100
• Washing from distal to proximal promotes and
: circulation and blood return
• Patients on anticoagulants should perform oral care using a
: soft bristle toothbrush
• Patients on Warfarin should shave with an: electric razor
• Halitosis: strong oral odor
• An individualized bathing schedule must be used for patients with: alteredmental status
(Alzheimer's/dementia)
, • Avoid soaking feet for patients with : peripheral
neu-ropathy
• do not massage patients with: 1.) deep vein thrombosis2.) open wounds
3.) redness (tissue damage)
• Combing hair before and after shampoo helps remove: nits (lice eggs)
• denture care should be performed: every morning and evening
• oral care during cancer treatment: • Brushing with a soft-bristled brush andbaking soda or
fluoride toothpaste after meals and before bedtime

• what is the bodies first line of defense: normal flora
• normal flora can be found: mouth, nose, lower urethra, small intestines, largeintestines,
skin, eyes, upper throat
• Asepsis: freedom from infection
• The second line of defense is: the inflammatory response
• signs of systemic inflammation include: malaise, chills, fever, altered mentalstatus,
• the third line of defense is the: immune response
• the immune response is activated by: recognition of antigens to provoke anadaptive
immune response
• you should mix medications with or and placed in a
canor sealable bag to prevent ingestion: kitty litter or coffee grounds
• or should be flushed: morphine sulfate or
oxycodone hydrochlroide
• nonspecific defenses: protect from all microorganismsex: skin, nasal passages, urine flow
• Specific immune defense: can learn to protect against infection
• mode of transmission: How the infection is carried
• etiology defintion: What is the cause
