FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING FINAL
EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
VERIFIED 2025/2026.
Pulse oximetry - ANS Noninvasive measurement of the oxygen saturation of the blood for
monitoring respiratory status
Hypoxemia - ANS deficient amount of oxygen in the blood
Less than 90% - ANS What oxygen saturation value indicates hypoxemia?
Older adults and dark skin patients - ANS Who might have oxygen saturation values that are a
little bit lower?
Nasal Cannula - ANS Low-flow oxygen delivery system with tubing with two small prongs that
are inserted into the nares
1-6 L/min - ANS What are the flow rates for a nasal cannula?

,Simple face mask - ANS A low-flow oxgen delivery system, that covers the clients nose and
mouth.
5 L/min - 8 L/min - ANS The simple face mask delivers oxygen at what flow rate?
Venturi Mask - ANS A face mask and reservoir bag device that delivers specific concentrations
of oxygen by mixing oxygen with inhaled air.
Oxygen induced hypoventilation - ANS clients who have conditions that cause alveolar
hypoventilation can be sensitive to the administration of oxygen and it can cause what?
Combustion - ANS Oxygen is highly flammable and can cause what to happen?
Cotton - ANS What should you have clients wear when using oxygen
Percussion - ANS The use of cupped hands to clap rhythmically on the chest to break up
secretions
Vibration - ANS The use of shaking movements during exhalation to help remove secretions
Postural Drainage - ANS The use of various positions to allow secretions to drain by gravity
high fowlers - ANS What position to put patients in in order to promote drainage of the
lungs?
Accidental Decannulation - ANS if it occurs in the the first 72 hr after surgery, it is an
emergency because the tracheostomy tract has not matured and replacement may be difficult;

, always have an additional staff member present when moving the tube or during any situation
in which decannulation may occur
NG tube - ANS a hallow, flexiblem cylindrical device that the nurse inserts through the
nasopharynx into the stomach
hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative, maturation - ANS phases of wound healing
Inflammatory stage - ANS begins with the injury and lasts 3-6 days
Proliferative stage - ANS 3 - 24 days in the wound healing process, which replaces the lost
tissue with connective or granulated tissues or collagen
Maturation stage - ANS Occurs afer day 21 of the wound healing process, which involves the
strengthening of the collagen scar and the restoration of a more normal appearance.
Primary intention - ANS Wound healing where edges are well-approximated
Secondary intention - ANS Wound healing where edges can't be easily approximated and
wound fills with granulation
Teritary Intention - ANS A wound that might be initially left open until infection is resolved
and then it is closed.
Serous drainage - ANS clear, watery plasma
Sanguineous drainage - ANS mixture of serum and red blood cells drainage
