MED-SURG EXAM 1 QUESTIONS 2025
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
What laboratory findings does the nurse determine are consistent with hypovolemia in a female
patient? (Select all that apply.)
1. BUN : serum creatinine ratio of >12.1
2. Urine positive for blood
3. Hematocrit level of >47%
4. Urine specific gravity of 1.027
5. Urine osmolality of >450 mOsm/kg - correct answer Correct answer: 3. 4. and 5.
More than half of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning systems,
powered by PrepU, answered "BUN : serum creatinine ratio of >12.1." The BUN to creatinine ratio is
above 20:1 in hypovolemia due to dehydration or decreased renal perfusion and function.
The planning component of the teaching-learning process is organized in a sequential manner. Which of
the following is the first step for the nurse?
Select the appropriate teaching strategy.
1. Define the expected outcomes.
2. Document the plan.
3. Develop the planned goals for the learning outcome. - correct answer Correct answer:
3. Develop the planned goals for the learning outcome.
, -Nearly half of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning systems,
powered by PrepU, answered "Select the appropriate teaching strategy." Before the teaching strategy
can be determined, the goals of learning must be developed.
The nurse is interviewing a patient who says he has a dry, irritating cough that is not "bringing anything
up." What medication should the nurse question the patient about taking?
1. Aspirin
2. Bronchodilators
3. Cardiac glycosides
4. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors - correct answer Correct answer:
4. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
-More than one-quarter of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning
systems, powered by PrepU, answered "Bronchodilators." Bronchodilators are prescribed to open
constricted bronchial tubes. They do not produce cough; angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
do.
A patient is to receive an oxygen concentration of 70%. What is the best way for the nurse to deliver this
concentration?
1. A nasal cannula
2. A partial rebreathing mask
3. A Venturi mask
4. An oropharyngeal catheter - correct answer Correct answer:
2. A partial rebreathing mask
Nearly half of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning systems,
powered by PrepU, answered "A Venturi mask." To provide an oxygen concentration of 70%, a partial
rebreathing mask should be used. A Venturi mask provides less than 30% oxygen concentration.
