EXAM 1 NURS 366 QUESTIONS AND
ACCURATE ANSWERS
What is the most accurate way to measure fluid balance? ANSW✅✅Daily weight
Ventilation ANSW✅✅Process of moving gases into and out of the lungs.
Perfusion ANSW✅✅The cardiovascular system must have the ability to pump oxygenated blood
to the tissues and then return it to the lungs.
Diffusion ANSW✅✅The movement of respiratory gases from one area to another by
concentration gradients.
Atelectasis ANSW✅✅Normal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is altered by a collapse in
the alveoli
COPD ANSW✅✅Preventable disease with persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive
Pneumonia ANSW✅✅Inflammation of the lung parenchyma (alveolar spaces) creating a build up
of fluid and excretment in the alveoli; decreasing gas exchange
Pulmonary embolism ANSW✅✅Blockage of one or more pulmonary arteries by fat, thrombus,
amniotic fluid or tumor tissue
State the 6 rights of administration ANSW✅✅Right patient, right medication, right dose, right
route, right time, and right reason

, Where does visceral pain originate? ANSW✅✅In the organs (viscera) and is not clearly localized
What is visceral pain described as? ANSW✅✅Aching, pressure and cramping
Ex. Labor
Where is peripheral pain located? ANSW✅✅Between the spinal cord and periphery
What is peripheral pain described as? ANSW✅✅Burning, shooting, electric shock and numbness
