Diagnosis: - correct ans:nurse makes a nursing diagnosis based on assessment of patient; not a medical
diagnosis
Planning: - correct ans:nurse comes up with client-centered goals; need to be measurable (client will
ambulate 10 meters 3x daily for 2 wks)
Implementing: - correct ans:following through with plan that was developed for the patient
Evaluation: - correct ans:goal was met, partially met, not met; how effective the plan was for the patient
and what should be changed for the patient
Normal range for temperature - correct ans:96.8-100.4
Normal range for pulse - correct ans:60-100
Normal range for respirations - correct ans:12-20
Normal range for BP - correct ans:100/60-140-90
Normal range for pulse ox. - correct ans:>95%
SOLER - correct ans:sit close, observe, lean forward, eye contact, relax
Types of pain - correct ans:acute, chronic, cancer, by inferred pathology, idiopathic
Pain threshold - correct ans:level of stimulus needed to produce the perception of pain
, Pain tolerance - correct ans:amount of pain a patient endures without its interference of ADLs
Factors influencing pain - correct ans:age, fatigue, genes, neurological functions, social factors, spiritual

to sensory stimuli including pain; muscle, skeletal, and visceral smooth muscle relaxation; general or
local
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) - correct ans:energy needed to maintain life
