NUR 2356 Multidimensional Care I Comprehensive Examination 2026/2027 | Verified Questions

,INTRODUCTION
This examination document contains 100 original Verified Questions created for the Rasmussen
College NUR 2356 Multidimensional Care I Comprehensive Final Examination, organized in an
equal distribution across four core domains: Domain 1: Fundamentals of Nursing Care and
Patient Safety; Domain 2: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance; Domain 3: Perioperative
Nursing and Pain Management; and Domain 4: Gastrointestinal and Elimination Care. Every
question is an original work designed to reinforce the official NUR 2356 Multidimensional Care I
Comprehensive Final Examination course objectives, drawing on foundational nursing textbook
methodology such as the Rasmussen College NUR 2356 Syllabus, Taylor's Fundamentals of
Nursing, and Ignatavicius Medical-Surgical Nursing. The content is aligned to the 2026/2027
academic year and is intended to build actual exam readiness and lasting clinical proficiency for
University-Level nursing students.

ACTUAL QUESTIONS

Domain 1: Fundamentals of Nursing Care and Patient Safety

Question 1. The single most effective nursing action for preventing healthcare-
associated infections is:
A. Wearing gloves for all patient contact
B. Giving prophylactic antibiotics to all admitted patients
C. Daily bathing of all patients with chlorhexidine
D. Performing hand hygiene before and after every patient contact
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hand hygiene interrupts organism transmission more than any other measure.
Infection prevention follows Taylor's Fundamentals of Nursing and the NUR 2356 curriculum.

Question 2. Before administering medication, the nurse should identify the patient
by:
A. Room number and diagnosis
B. Bed number and physician name
C. Full name and date of birth
D. Wristband color and unit
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Two unique identifiers prevent wrong-patient errors; room and bed numbers change
and are unsafe identifiers. Identification standards follow the NUR 2356 curriculum.

Question 3. The most appropriate fall prevention intervention for a patient at fall
risk is:
A. Applying restraints to all confused patients
B. Keeping the bed in the lowest position with the call light within reach
C. Keeping all four side rails raised continuously
D. Sedating restless patients at night
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Environmental measures reduce falls without restricting freedom; restraints and
rails can increase injury. Fall prevention follows Ignatavicius Medical-Surgical Nursing.

Question 4. The most effective intervention to prevent pressure injuries in a
bedbound patient is:
A. Repositioning at least every two hours
B. Massaging reddened bony prominences

, C. Limiting protein intake
D. Pulling the patient up in bed by the shoulders
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Scheduled repositioning relieves prolonged pressure; massage of reddened areas
damages tissue. Pressure injury prevention follows the NUR 2356 curriculum.

Question 5. A pressure injury presenting as partial-thickness skin loss with a
shallow open ulcer or intact serum-filled blister is classified as:
A. Stage 1
B. Stage 3
C. Stage 4
D. Stage 2
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Stage 2 reflects partial-thickness dermal loss; stage 1 is intact nonblanchable skin.
Staging criteria follow the NUR 2356 curriculum.

Question 6. Correct body mechanics for lifting a patient includes:
A. Lifting primarily with back muscles
B. Twisting at the waist while lifting
C. Bending the knees and lifting with leg muscles while holding the load close to the body
D. Keeping the feet together for balance
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A wide base with leg-driven lifting protects the nurse's spine. Body mechanics follow
Taylor's Fundamentals of Nursing.

A. They are convenient during busy shifts
B. Less restrictive measures have failed, with a current provider order and frequent
reassessment
C. They are the first response to agitation
D. They are continued indefinitely once started
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Least-restriction principles require documented justification, orders, and ongoing
monitoring. Restraint standards follow the NUR 2356 curriculum.

regulations?
A. Sharing information only with members of the care team who need to know
B. Discussing patient updates in the cafeteria
C. Posting room assignments with diagnoses at the desk
D. Faxing records to any requested number
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Minimum-necessary disclosure to the care team safeguards protected health
information. Privacy standards follow the NUR 2356 curriculum.
