CPAN STUDY EXAMS GUIDE ALL QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔2:1 Patient-to-Nurse Ratio - ✔✔Permissible for patients who are conscious,
hemodynamically stable, and have demonstrated adequate respiratory function,
provided they are nearing discharge criteria.
✔✔Mnemonic for the 12 Cranial Nerves - ✔✔Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Very Good
Velvet Ah Heaven (Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens,
Facial, Vestibulocochlear, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory, Hypoglossal).
✔✔Cranial Nerve I - ✔✔Olfactory nerve, responsible for the sense of smell.
✔✔Cranial Nerve II - ✔✔Optic nerve, responsible for transmitting visual information
from the retina to the brain.
✔✔Cranial Nerve III - ✔✔Oculomotor nerve, controls most eye movements, pupil
constriction, and lens shape.
✔✔Cranial Nerve IV - ✔✔Trochlear nerve, innervates the superior oblique muscle to
move the eye downward and inward.
, ✔✔Cranial Nerve V - ✔✔Trigeminal nerve, provides sensory input from the face and
motor control for muscles of mastication.
✔✔Cranial Nerve VI - ✔✔Abducens nerve, controls the lateral rectus muscle to move
the eye laterally.
✔✔Cranial Nerve VII - ✔✔Facial nerve, controls muscles of facial expression, taste from
the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, and lacrimal/salivary gland secretion.
✔✔Cranial Nerve VIII - ✔✔Vestibulocochlear nerve, responsible for hearing and
balance.
✔✔Cranial Nerve IX - ✔✔Glossopharyngeal nerve, involved in taste, swallowing, and
monitoring blood pressure and chemistry in the carotid sinus.
✔✔Cranial Nerve X - ✔✔Vagus nerve, regulates visceral functions such as heart rate,
digestion, and respiratory rate throughout the thorax and abdomen.
✔✔Cranial Nerve XI - ✔✔Accessory nerve, controls the sternocleidomastoid and
trapezius muscles for head and shoulder movement.
✔✔Cranial Nerve XII - ✔✔Hypoglossal nerve, provides motor control to the muscles of
the tongue.
✔✔Type 4 Latex Allergy - ✔✔A delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction, also known as
allergic contact dermatitis, caused by chemicals used in the manufacturing of rubber
products rather than the latex proteins themselves.
✔✔Lichenification - ✔✔Thickening and leathery appearance of the skin caused by
chronic scratching or rubbing due to persistent irritation.
✔✔Normal Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Range - ✔✔Typically 5 to 15 mmHg in a supine
adult.
✔✔First-line medical management for elevated intracranial pressure - ✔✔Includes head
of bed elevation to 30 degrees, hyperventilation to maintain PaCO2 between 30-35
mmHg, administration of osmotic diuretics such as mannitol or hypertonic saline, and
sedation or analgesia to reduce metabolic demand.
✔✔Symptoms of hypothermia in the PACU - ✔✔Clinical manifestations include
shivering, vasoconstriction, tachycardia, hypertension, altered mental status, and
potential cardiac arrhythmias.
