NURS 6512 FINAL EXAM REVIEW
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
Examination Findings of a child with Kawasaki disease - ANS Fever, Conjunctival Injection,
Strawberry Tongue, and Edema of the Hands and Feet.
Lymphadenopathy and Polymorphous Nonvesicular Rashes.
Peripheral Edema - ANS Grading:
1+ Slight Pitting, no visible distortion, disappears rapidly.
2+ A Somewhat Deeper Pit than in 12+, but again no readily detectable distortion, disappears in
10-15 seconds.
3+ Noticeably Deep Pit that may last more than a minute; dependent extremity looks fuller and
swollen.
4+ Very Deep Pit that lasts as long as 2-5 min; dependent extremity is grossly distorted.
Ammonia in breath odor - ANS Uremia (ammonia)
Grading of Pulses - ANS 4+ Bounding
3+ Full, Increased
2+ Expected
1+ Diminished, barely palpable

, 0 Absent, not palpable
Acute Limb Ischemia (ALI) - ANS Stage I - Viable - No sensory impairment - No motor
impairment - Audible Arterial Doppler Signal - Audible Venous Dopler Signal
Stage IIa - Marginally Threatened - Minimal Sensory Impairment - No Motor Impairment - Often
inaudible Arterial Doppler Signal - Audible Venous Doppler Signal
Stage IIb - Immediately Threatened - Rest Pain Sensory Impairment - Mild to moderate Motor
Impairment - Inaudible Arterial Doppler Signal - Audible Venous Doppler Signal
Stage III - Irreversible - Anesthetic Sensory Impairment - Paralytic/rigor Motor Impairment -
Inaudible Arterial Doppler Signal - Inaudible Venous Doppler Signal
Assessment for Peripheral Arterial Disease - ANS Site of Pain is Distal to the Narrowing.
Note:
Pulses (strong, weak or possibly absent)
Possible systolic bruits over the arteries that may extend through diastole.
Loss of expected body warmth.
Localized pallor and cyanosis.
Collapsed superficial veins, with delay in venous filling.
Thin, atrophied skin; muscle atrophy.
Varicosity Findings In Pregnant Women - ANS With increasing cardiac output beginning in the
1st trimester, the pulse may be more easily palpated, with an abrupt rise and rapid fall. With
increasing blood volume in the second trimester, jugular a and v waves may be easier to see.
JVP should remain normal. Peripheral edema is a common finding as the pregnancy progresses.
Varicose veins can develop during pregnancy and in the postpartum period.
Heart Sounds - ANS S1 - Closure of the mitral and tricuspid (AV) Valves, indicates the
beginning of systole. Best heard toward the apex.
