Nur 200 Final Exam Questions with Verified
Correct Answers
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Formula
ANC = WBC × (% neutrophils + % bands)
ANC < 500 Interpretation
Severe neutropenia; very high infection risk.
ANC < 100 Interpretation
Profound neutropenia; extremely high infection risk.
Neutropenic Patient with Fever (ANC <500)
Medical emergency requiring immediate notification and prompt antibiotics.
Neutropenia Interventions to Avoid
Avoid rectal temperatures, suppositories, enemas, raw foods, and fresh plants.
Diabetes Insipidus (DI) Main Pathophysiology
Deficiency in ADH effect causing excessive dilute water loss.
DI Key Manifestations
Polyuria, polydipsia, hypernatremia, low urine specific gravity, high serum osmolality.
DI Memory Trick
DI = Dry Inside (water leaves, hypernatremia).
SIADH Main Pathophysiology
Excessive ADH production causing systemic water retention.
, SIADH Key Manifestations
Fluid overload, low urine output, concentrated urine, hyponatremia, high urine specific
gravity.
SIADH Memory Trick
SIADH = Soaked Inside (water retained, hyponatremia).
Primary Intervention for SIADH
Fluid restriction and strict intake/output monitoring.
General Anemia Manifestations
Fatigue, weakness, pallor, dyspnea, tachycardia, dizziness.
Iron-Deficiency Anemia Specific Manifestations
Brittle/spoon-shaped nails, glossitis, pica (craving ice/nonfood).
Iron Supplement Patient Teaching
Vitamin C enhances absorption; causes dark stools, constipation, and tooth staining (liquid).
Pernicious Anemia Cause
Lack of intrinsic factor impairing Vitamin B12 absorption.
Key Distinction of Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia
Causes unique neurologic symptoms (numbness, tingling, ataxia, cognitive changes).
Sickle Cell Crisis Interventions
Pain management, hydration, oxygenation, and treating underlying infection.
Normal Platelet Count Range
