NUR 104 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS; ALREADY GRADED A
Demonstrate appropriate documentation and reporting of
health assessment findings. - correct answer-
Demonstrate competence in correctly utilizing a nursing drug
text; locating drug information related to the names, schedule,
pregnancy category, uses, action, pharmacokinetics,
contraindications and precautions, side effects, interactions,
route and dosage, nursing implications. Describe the role of each
factor in determining a person's pharmacological response to a
drug: age, sex, body weight, disease states, genetic factors,
placebo effect, time of administration, and tolerance. -
correct answer-
Describe appropriate physical assessment techniques. -
correct answer- In order:
inspection- use of sight to gather data (example, observing the
patient's gait, personal hygiene, affect, and behavior)
palpation- use of touch to gather data (example, observing
temperature; skin texture; moisture; anatomical landmarks; and
abnormalities such as edema, masses, or areas of tenderness)
, percussion- tapping your fingers on the skin using short strokes
(example, when assessing abdomen and lungs, tapping produces
vibrations and allows you to determine location, size, and
density of underlying structures)
auscultation- use of hearing to gather data (example, hearing
wheezing or chest congestion or using stethoscope)
sometimes, olfaction- use of the sense of smell to gather data
(example, if a client is slurring his words he might smell of
alcohol
exception: when performing an abdominal assessment, perform
auscultation before percussion and palpation to avoid disturbing
the abdominal sounds.
Describe suggested sequencing to conduct a physical health
examination in an orderly fashion. - correct answer-
