NSER 7110 Final Exam With Latest
Questions And Answers. Updated And
Verified.
Describe unique qualities of emergency nursing practice. - Answer✔Diverse: patients of all
ages, cultural and social groups seek treatment in emergency departments.
Time-limited: assess patients in crisis
Health Promotion: look to share information in relation to health promotion and injury
prevention
Urgency: related to patient acuity, scare resources, rapid patient turnover, and unpredictability.
Uncertain and Ambiguous: entry point for many patients, "found down" in back of alley.
Describe the roles of the various members of ED health care teams. - Answer✔Triage nurse:
triage nurses are the first in health care professionals to meet patients and that initial
interaction often sets the tone for the entire ED visit.
charge nurse: aka Assistant Head Nurse (AHN), the team leader (TL), or patient care coordinator
(PCC) organizes and coordinated the flow of patients through the ED while providing leadership
to the team.
Licensed practical nurse: works in fast track or walking wounded area, and may provide care
for patients who have been admitted to hospital.

emergency physician: Causality officer (CO), is a specialist in resuscitation, management of
major trauma
RT. Forensic nurse examiner: may provide expertise in sexual assaults, child abuse, geriatric
neglect and patient care facilities, interpersonal violence issues/events, forensic mental health,
death investigation, human trafficking, and public health and safety.
Geriatric emergency nurse (GEN): advanced practice nurse who identifies geriatric issues,
assists elderly patients in navigating the health-care system, and aids in planning for safe
patient discharges. Nurse practioner: NP.
Analyze the socio-political factors that influence the current state of EDs. - Answer✔--> Vast
cuts to health care services over the past thirty years have resulted in the ED acting as the gate
keeper for a large portion of acute care services.
--> A key role of ED health care professionals is to provide unbiased care to everyone who
presents.
--> These "marginalized" or "at risk" populations are amongst the most vulnerable in our
society for several reasons; they may have chronic diseases, a lack of support systems, and/or
limited financial resources.
1. explain common, emergent conditions that present with the symptom of abdominal pain. -
Answer✔Tension pain (visceral pain, vague, deep, and poorly localized)
Gastroenteritis (due to irritating foods or infection), constipation (increased forcefulness of
contraction, around obstructing contents), and acute pancreatitis (stretching of an organ
capsule), typically produce the clinical picture of a patient who cannot get comfortable. The
patient shifts position several times during the course of the examination in an effort to find the
most comfortable position.
Inflammatory pain (type C fibers, pain is initially perceived as vague, deep and difficult to
localize).ex: appendicitis. the pain of appendicitis is described by the patient as midabdominal
or periumbilical. As the visceral peritoneum inflames, the symptoms remain vague and general,
much like the tension pain described previously. However, within several hours, the
inflammation extends to involve the parietal peritoneum, and the patient begins to localize the
pain more readily, typically to the right lower quadrant.

Ischemic Pain: Ischemic pain is the third of the visceral pain types, and is the least common but
the most serious. Identifying ischemic pain patterns is important in terms of avoiding serious
and fatal consequences. Fortunately, when symptomatic, ischemic pain presents as typical
ischemic pain does in any other portion of anatomy. It is sudden in onset, intense, continuous,
and progressive. An additional diagnostic clue is that, unlike other forms of abdominal pain, it is
not relieved with analgesia.
outline the concept of "level of urgency" in relation to ED nursing practice. - Answer✔Stable
patients present with normal clinical findings and a history leading to admission that is not life
or limb threatening.
Unstable patients present with abnormal clinical findings and a history that is considered life or
limb threatening.
A third category of LOU needs to be considered for all stable patients. Potentially unstable
patients may present with normal clinical findings but their history leading to admission
warrants concern and ongoing observation. The patient could deteriorate if proper intervention
is not taken.
CTAS levels: - Answer✔Level 1 - Resuscitation
Level 2- Emergent
Level 3 - Urgent
Level 4 - Less Urgent
Level 5 - Non-urgent
Secondary Assessment - Answer✔1. subjective history (also known as the "history of presenting
illness" or "the story"
2. Objective assessment (also known as the "head-to-toe"
3. Focused system assessments
Primary Assessment - Answer✔C - identify need for CPR or need to control major bleeding
A - Airway and C-spine control
B - breathing

- jaw thrust/chin lift
- oral/nasopharyngeal airway
- consider/prepare for advanced airway
- Spinal Motion Restriction (SMR)
Breathing - Assessment and Intervention - Answer✔Assessment:
