This complete study guide features 100 exam questions and answers for NUR 155: Fundamentals of Nursing – Exam 3, specifically designed for the 2025–2026 academic year at Nursing School USA. It provides an essential foundation in nursing fundamentals, emphasizing patient care priorities across skin integrity, oxygenation, pain management, sleep/rest, and safety. Core content includes detailed coverage of pressure ulcer staging, risk factors for impaired skin integrity, and preventive interventions such as repositioning, skincare, moisture barriers, and nutrition. The guide also reviews wound types, phases of healing, drainage types (serous, purulent, sanguineous), dressing types (hydrocolloid, foam, transparent), and wound documentation standards. In the oxygenation and respiratory care sections, students will learn about hypoxia vs. hypoxemia, pulse oximetry interpretation, safe use of oxygen delivery devices (e.g., nasal cannula, Venturi mask), and interventions like deep breathing, incentive spirometry, and positioning. The pain management portion addresses the pain process, types of pain (acute, chronic, nociceptive, neuropathic), pharmacologic vs. nonpharmacologic interventions, and pain assessment tools (e.g., numeric scale, Wong-Baker faces). The exam also evaluates knowledge of rest/sleep cycles, effects of illness and environment on sleep, and sleep hygiene interventions.
