BSN 425 PRACTICE EXAMINATION 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ nurse practice acts.
Answer: each state has its own; protects public with legal scope of nursing
practice
◍ tympanic temp.
Answer: 37.5 C, 99.5 F
◍ phases of wound healing.
Answer: -hemostasis-vessels constrict and clotting
begins-inflammatory-white blood cells move to
wound-proliferation-granulation tissue is formed-maturation-collagen is
remodeled, forms scar
◍ beneficence.
Answer: benefit the patient; balance benefits against risks and harms
◍ ACE inhibitors.
Answer: to prevent vasoconstriction by angiotensin II and decrease
circulatory fluid volume by reducing aldosterone production
◍ constipation.
Answer: dry, hard stool; persistently difficult passage of stool; incomplete
passage of stool
◍ suppression.
Answer: stoppage of urine production; normally, the adult kidneys produce
urine continuously at the rate of 60 to 120 mL/h
◍ scale used for predicting pressure sore risk.
Answer: braden scale
,◍ paresis.
Answer: impaired muscle strength or weakness
◍ water.
Answer: -accounts for between 50% and 60% of adults total weight-2/3 of
body water is contained within the cells (ICF)-the remainder of body water
is extracellular fluid, body fluids-acts as solvent, aids digestion
◍ carbs.
Answer: -sugars and starches-organic compounds composed of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen-lactose is an animal source-most abundant and least
expensive-classified as simple or complex sugars-converted to glucose for
transport through blood-50-100g needed daily to prevent ketosis
◍ parasympathetic stimulation on pulse.
Answer: decreases heart rate
◍ purulent drainage.
Answer: thick, musty or foul odor, varies in color
◍ active exercise.
Answer: the patient independently moves joints through their full range of
motion (isotonic exercise)
◍ stoma.
Answer: the part of the ostomy that is attached to the skin
◍ albumin normal lab values.
Answer: 3.5-5
◍ sources of knowledge.
Answer: -traditional ( passed down from generation to
generation)-authoritative- comes from an expert, accepted as truth based on
person's perceived expertise-scientific (obtained through the scientific
method-research)
◍ secondary health promotion.
Answer: focus on SCREENING for early detection of disease with prompt
, diagnosis and treatment of any found; example: assessing children for
normal growth and development and encourage regular medical, dental and
vision exams
◍ coping with disability and death.
Answer: nurses use optimal function of maximum strengths and potentials,
refer to community support systems; provide care to families and patients
during end-of-life care, hospice
◍ pulse rate.
Answer: the number of contractions over a peripheral artery in 1 minute
◍ pulmonary ventilation.
Answer: movement of air in and out of lungs
◍ hemostasis.
Answer: occurs immediately after intial injury, blood vessels constrict and
clotting begins, exudate(drainage) forms and causes swelling and pain,
increased perfusion results in heat and redness, platelets stimulate other cells
to migrate to injury to participate in phases of healing
◍ cleaning a pressure ulcer.
Answer: clean w/ each dressing change, gentle motions (patting), use 0.9%
normal saline solution to irrigate and clean, report any drainage or necrotic
tissue
◍ fats.
Answer: -insoluble in water and blood-composed of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen- 95% of lipids in diet are triglycerides-most animal fats are
saturated-most vegetable fats are unsaturated-digestion occurs largely in
small intestine-most concentrated source of energy in diet-RDA not
established, 20-35% total calorie intake
◍ To promote health.
Answer: State of optimal functioning or wellbeing. not just absence of
disease
