NR 304 Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
abdomen contour Correct Answers see photo
ABI equation Correct Answers see photo
abnormal findings (ch 20 peripheral vascular and lymphatic
systems) Correct Answers 1+ or 3+ pulse
Water-Hammer (Corrigan's) pulse (3+ then collapses)
pulsus bigeminus (rhythm coupled, every other beat comes
early/normal beat followed by premature beat)
pulsus alternans (rhythm regular, force varies, w/ alternating
beats of large & small amplitude)
pulsus paradoxus (beats have weaker amplitude w/ inspiration,
stronger w/ expiration)
pulsus bisferiens (Each pulse has 2 strong systolic peaks w/ dip
between; best assessed at carotid)
Raynaud (episodes of abrupt, progressive tricolor change of
fingers in response to cold, vibration, stress; white --> blue -->
red)
lymphedema (high protein swelling of limb, breast cancer tx
common cause)
arterial-ischemic ulcer
deep vein thrombophlebitis (deep vein occluded by a thrombus,
causing inflammation, blocked venous return, cyanosis, edema)
aneurisms (sac formed by dilation in artery wall)
occlusions
Seriously. I'm sorry about this card.
, abnormal findings (ch 21 abdomen) Correct Answers
abdominal distention (obesity, air/gas, ascites, ovarian cyst,
pregnancy, feces, tumor)
inspection (umbilical/epigastric/incisional hernia, diastasis recti)
bowel sounds (succussion splash, hypo/hyperactive)
friction rubs/vascular sounds (peritoneal friction rub, arterial
bruit, venous hum)
advanced practice procedures Correct Answers rebound
tenderness (Blumberg's sign, peritonitis)
inspiratory arrest (Murphy's sign, RUQ pain)
iliopsoas muscle test (see photo)
Alvarado score (MONTRELS score) eval. of RLQ pain
aging adult and abdomen Correct Answers decreased salivation
causes dry mouth, decreased taste
esophageal emptying and gastric acid secretion delayed
more gallstones
drug metabolism impaired
constipation
aging adult and veins/arteries Correct Answers arteriosclerosis
myocardial infarction
less lymphatic tissue (decreased number lymph nodes)
Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) Correct Answers Doppler
stethoscope (no smoking 2 hours before)
