NUR 3066- EXAM 1 STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS);
ALREADY GRADED A+
ABCDEF mnemonic - correct answer-
Asymmetry
Border Irregularity
Color Variation
Diameter greater than 6mm
Elevation or Evolution
Funny looking "ugly duckling sign"
Assessment of pain - correct answer- -Rule for
pain complaints: Believe the patient
-Physical pain is based on the origin of pain: Visceral (from
internal organs), Somatic (from musculoskeletal tissues or
body surfaces), Deep somatic (from blood vessels, joints,
tendons, muscles, and bones), Cutaneous (from skin
surfaces and subcutaneous tissues), and Referred (pain
felt at a particular location but originated from another)
, -Pain is classified by its duration: Acute (short term),
Chronic (continues for more than 6 months), and
Breakthrough (occurs in between times of no pain)
-Functional assessment tools: Visual analog scale (VAS)
and Wong Baker Faces Scale
Assessment Techniques - correct answer- 1.
inspection- observe
2. palpation- sense of touch
3. percussion- tapping for audible vibrations
4. auscultation- listening to sounds (stethoscope)
Braden Risk Assessment - correct answer- tool
used to measure risk for pressure ulcers in patients.
includes sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility,
nutrition, friction and shear
Components of the General Survey - correct
answer- 1. physical appearance
