This in-depth study resource includes over 150 exam questions and answers from Exam 4 of the NUR 242 – Maternal and Women’s Health Nursing course for the 2025/2026 academic year at the University of Nursing Sciences. While the course focus is maternal health, this exam emphasizes cardiovascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal complications affecting women’s health and general nursing care. Key subjects covered include hypertension (HTN) stages and crisis management, pharmacological interventions (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta blockers), peripheral vascular disorders (Raynaud’s, Buerger’s, PAD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and post-op care for arterial grafts and amputations. Neurological content spans seizure disorders (status epilepticus, tonic-clonic phases), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA/stroke). Students will also review cardiac rhythms (V-tach, V-fib, bradycardia), pacemaker care, and heart failure management (left and right-sided). The musculoskeletal and sensory systems are also thoroughly assessed, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, herniated discs, and conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and Meniere’s disease. Each question is paired with accurate, clinically aligned answers designed to reinforce both academic knowledge and practical nursing application. Recommended for: Nursing students in ADN, BSN, and accelerated programs Maternal-child, med-surg, or neuro nursing students NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN candidates Students preparing for comprehensive finals or clinical placements This guide is ideal for building confidence in exam settings, mastering complex nursing topics, and preparing for licensure exams.
