NFDN 2003 Midterm (Units 1-5) Questions With Complete
Solutions
3m foam dressing Correct Answer Unique multi-layer design
provides high absorbency with high breathability to reduce the
risk of maceration
Adapts to changing levels of exudate to maintain moisture
balance for optimal wound healing
Ideal for situations where increased securement or longer wear
time is needed
abrasion Correct Answer •Superficial injury caused by rubbing,
scraping of skin against another surface ie/ Bed linens, Road
rash from accident.
acute wound Correct Answer acute accident of skin breakdown
adequate urine output Correct Answer 50-100 mL/hr
airway patency Correct Answer a condition in which an airway
is open and unobstructed
algisite dressing Correct Answer Forms a soft, integral gel
when it comes into contact with wound exudate. Excess wound
exudate is absorbed in this process. Proven benefits of moist
wound healing, which results in faster healing of even difficult
wounds.
anuria Correct Answer absence of urine production
,aseptic technique Correct Answer method used to make the
environment, the worker, and the patient as germ-free as
possible
Assessment of SBAR Correct Answer •Vital signs, sats
•Pattern/concerns
•Clinical impression, underlying reasons
Background of SBAR Correct Answer •Reason for admission
•Significant medical history (admitting diagnosis, procedures,
current medications, lab results)
Before pre-op medications are administered Correct Answer
surgical consent typically signed, teachings, vitals, charting,
family teaching
Black wound color Correct Answer 1.Eschar-Indicates thick,
leathery, dead, necrotic tissue. Usually needs to be debrided but
in some cases where people are terminal, and healing is poor
sometimes the eschar is just left alone to cover the wound.
bladder scanner Correct Answer a noninvasive device that
creates an ultrasound image of the bladder for measuring the
volume of urine in the bladder; use it to assess bladder volume
whenever inadequate bladder emptying is suspected (such as
after the removal of a catheter, evaluation of incontinence, or
after urologic surgery)
bubbling in chest tube Correct Answer upon setup common,
continuous bubbling means air leak, check appliance first then
lead back to the body.
, catheter Correct Answer Tube inserted into vessels or body
cavities to permit injection or withdrawal of fluids or to keep a
passage open, used for decreased output
chest physiotherapy Correct Answer Includes postural
drainage, chest percussion and vibration, and breathing
exercises/breathing retraining; goal is to remove bronchial
secretions, improve ventilation, and increase the efficiency of
the respiratory muscles
chest tube Correct Answer Catheter inserted through the thorax
into the chest cavity for removing air or fluid.
chronic wound Correct Answer ongoing skin integrity issues
for example, paraplegics, diabetes
Clean gloves Correct Answer Worn to protect health-care
personnel from urine, stools, blood, saliva, and drainage from
patients' wounds and lesions.
clinical pathways Correct Answer - Tool used in case
management of client care in an effective/efficient manner
- Care mapped out day by day, from admission to discharge
- Identifies key events that must occur within specific time
frames
closed wound Correct Answer Skin intact, trauma with blunt
object
