NSG 170 Final Exam Questions With Complete Solutions
24 hour urine Correct Answer Pooled urine specimen
collected over a period of 24 hours, usually beginning in the
morning. Refrigerate.
A client is ordered 0.5 milligrams of Digoxin. 250 microgram
tablets are available. How many tablets will you give? Correct
Answer 2 tablets
A client is ordered 30 milligrams of Frusemide intravenously. 10
milligrams in 1 milliliter of liquid for IV Injection is available.
How many milliliters will you administer? Correct Answer 3
mL
A client is ordered 35 mgs of Codeine phosphate by
subcutaneous injection. 50 mgs in 1 ml of liquid for SC Injection
is available. How many mls will you administer? Correct
Answer 35 1 35
--- X -- --- = 0.7mL
50 1 50
Acetylcholine Correct Answer A neurotransmitter that
enables learning and memory and also triggers muscle
contraction
Active Transport Correct Answer the movement of ions or
molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher
concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy. (ATP)
,Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) Correct Answer
Immature lymphocytes (lymphoblasts) predominate. This form
is seen most often in children and adolescents; onset is sudden
the most common form of leukemia in adults over 70 years of
age; characterized by overproduction of lymphocytes
- Fatigue
- Chills
- Bone and joint pain
- Abdominal pain
- Breast tenderness
- Blurred vision
- difficulty swallowing,
- headache
- facial palsy
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Correct Answer fast-
growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow, causing the
marrow to produce abnormal lymphoblasts that are incapable of
fighting infections.
Bone & Joint Aches
Hepatomegaly/Splenomegaly
Swollen Gums
Anemia
Thrombocytopenia
Adolescent pregnancy Correct Answer during adolescence
girls are coping with physical changes, changing relationships,
and the increasing need for independence; less than age 15
years, girls still see parents as authority figures; age 15-17 years,
look to peer group for authority and decision making; age 17
years and older, are more comfortable with themselves and the
,ability to make decisions; adolescents are at high risk for
premature births, low birth weight infants, pregnancy-induced
HTN, and cephalopelvic disproportion
Adrenal Glands Correct Answer Located on top of kidneys,
small triangles. Inner layer = medulla. Outer layer = cortex.
Medulla: Catecholamines = epi/norepi (fight or flight)
Cortex: steroids (ACTH)
Cortisol: Stress hormone - increased BG, burst of energy, anti-
inflammatory process
Aldosterone: regulates blood/fluid volume related to NA/K
levels. BP and NA pumps
Adrenocortical Hormones Correct Answer help regulate
metabolism, resistance to stress, and salt and water balance
aerobic metabolism Correct Answer The cellular process in
which oxygen is used to metabolize glucose. Energy is produced
in an efficient manner with minimal waste products.
Afterload Correct Answer The amount of resistance to
ejection of blood from the ventricle
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Correct Answer
-involves the matching of a histocompatible donor with the
recipient
-limited by the presence of suitable marrow donor
alloimmunization Correct Answer Development of antibodies
in response to foreign substances such as antigens, i.e.
transfusion reaction.
, Alpha-Adrenergic Blockers Correct Answer Doxazosin,
terazosin, alfuzosin and tamsulosin. Relax certain muslces and
help small blood vessels remain open. They work by keeping the
hormone norepinephrine from tightening the muscles in the
walls of smaller arteries and veins. Blocking that effect causes
the vessels to remain open and relaxed. This improves blood
flow and lowers BP.
Amniocentesis Correct Answer A technique of prenatal
diagnosis in which amniotic fluid, obtained by aspiration from a
needle inserted into the uterus, is analyzed to detect certain
genetic and congenital defects in the fetus.
Amniotic fluid Correct Answer fluid within the amniotic sac
that surrounds and protects the fetus
anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) Correct Answer Produces
2 ATP FAST
Produces pyruvic acid
Requires glucose
Results when oxygen reserves are depleted
anaplasia Correct Answer a change in the structure of cells
and in their orientation to each other
Anemia labs Correct Answer -blood studies show RBC count
and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels to be below normal
-serum iron (50-175), total iron-binding capacity and -serum
ferritin levels are below normal
-reticulocyte count is increased because of immaturity of RBCs
