QUESTIONS, ANSWERS & COMPREHENSIVE EXAM REVIEW
1 of 56
Term
What clinical indicator will the nurse likely identify when assessing a
patient with pyrexia?
Elevated blood pressure
Increased pulse rate
Precordial pain
Dyspnea

Increased pulse rate
, Safety is the priority concern for the cognitively impaired patient; safely taking
medication addresses safety needs for the patient. Sleep, nutrition, and
management of pain are important components of the patient's care and can affect
overall health, but safety is the highest priority.
Following the initiation of a pain management plan, pain should be reassessed and
documented on a regular basis as a way to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
At a minimum, pain should be reassessed with each new report of pain and before
and after administration of analgesics.

Occurs through a process of electromagnetic waves that emit heat
from skin surfaces to the air. This is directly related to the difference
between ambient air temperature, skin temperature, and exposure

Patients who experience immobility often have psychological issues such as
helplessness, anger, and anxiety. Hunger, increased communication, and improved
self-worth are usually the opposite of what is experienced.
Isotonic - active movement with constant muscle contraction (ex: walking)
Isometric - requires tension and relation of muscles without joint movement (ex:
Kegel exercise)
Aerobic - requires oxygen metabolism to produce energy (ex:repeated stair
climbing)
Anaerobic - builds power and body mass (ex: heavy weight lifting)
The primary risk factor for cognitive impairment is advancing age; males with a
history of stroke or diabetes are at significant risk. Older females with a history of
poor health, insomnia, and lack of social support are at risk for cognitive
impairment, not those who are overweight. Risk factors for young adults include
substance abuse and high-risk behaviors, not crowded living conditions.
Adolescents who attend summer camp are not necessarily at risk for cognitive
problems; adolescents who participate in high-risk behaviors would be at risk.
Refers to a state in which the body cells respond abnormally to the signaling
action of insulin; there is not a problem with insulin supply but with how the
cell responds to insulin
