Nur 166 Final Exam Ch 29, 32, 38 Review
#1
Timed Specimens - ANS The collections of a specimen of every stool passed within a
designated period of time
Endoscopy - ANS The direct visualization of the lining of a hollow body organ using a long
flexible tube containing glass fibers that transmit light into the organ, allowing the return of an
image that can be viewed.
Sigmoidoscopy - ANS The visual examination of the lining of the distal sigmoid colon, the
rectum, and the anal canal using either a flexible or rigid instrument.
Lower Gastrointestinal Examination - ANS Barium sulfate is instilled into the large intestine
through a rectal tube inserted through the anus. Fluoroscopy projects consecutive x-ray images
onto a screen for continuous observation of the flow of barium.
Colonoscopy - ANS Visual examination of the lining of the large intestine with a flexible,
fiber-optic endoscope.
Upper gastrointestinal examination - ANS The patient drinks barium sulfate, which coats the
esophagus, stomach, and small intestine to produce better visualization.
esophagogastroduodenoscopy - ANS Visual examination of the lining of the esophagus,
stomach, and upper duodenum with a flexible, fiber-optic endoscope.
Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) - ANS Use of commercial tape, dipstick, or solution to test for
pH or blood in the stool.
Barium Enema - ANS Involves a series of radiographs that examine the large intestine after
rectal instillation of barium sulfate.
Oil-retention enemas - ANS Used to lubricate the stool and intestinal mucosa making defecation
easier
Anthelmintic enemas - ANS Administered to destroy intestinal parasites
Medicated enemas - ANS Used to administer medications that are absorbed through the rectal
mucosa
, Carminative enemas - ANS Used to help expel flatus from the rectum and provide relief from
gaseous distention
Constipation - ANS The passage of dry, hard stools
Chyme - ANS Waste product of digestion
Diarrhea - ANS The passage of excessively liquid and unformed stools
Feces - ANS Waste product that reaches the distal end of the colon
Flatus - ANS Intestinal gas
Incontinence - ANS The inability of the anal sphincter to control the discharge of fecal and
gaseous material
Stool - ANS Excreted feces
Bowel movement - ANS The emptying of the intestines
Peristalsis - ANS The contraction of the circular and longitudinal muscles of the intestine
intentional - ANS The nurse is changing the dressing on a patient's incision. This type of wound
is commonly known as an ___ wound.
exudate - ANS The nurse notes swelling and pain occurring from an incision. The symptoms are
most likely caused by an accumulation of ___.
leukocytes and macrophages - ANS A patient's wound is in the inflammatory cellular phase,
meaning that ___ cells arrive first to ingest bacteria and cellular debris.
granulation - ANS New tissue found in a wound that is highly vascular, bleeds easily and is
formed in the proliferative phase is known as ___ tissue.
fistula - ANS The nurse is measuring the depth of a patient's wound and discovers and
abnormal passage from an internal organ to the skin. This wound condition is known as a ___.
sodium chloride solution - ANS When cleaning a wound, the nurse might choose sterile 9% ___
as the cleansing solution.
circular turn - ANS The nurse anchors a bandage by wrapping it around the patient's body art
with complete overlapping of the previous bandage turn. This procedure is the ___ method of
bandage wrapping.
