2006 INPA 1 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
1. temperature 36.5-37.5
ranges
2. blood pressure systole (90-140) diastole (60-90)
ranges
3. respiratory rate 12-20 breaths/minute
4. respiratory rate 16-25
for elderly
5. pulse rate 60-100BPM
6. 02 sat for a nor- 95%-100%
mal person
7. 02 sat for COPD 88%-92%
8. Pain assessment Onset
Provoke
quality
radiate
severity
treatment
understanding
value
9. falls assessment falls history
did you fall recently?
have you fallen in the last 6 months?
any mobility limitations?
did anyone witness your fall?
, did you hit your head?
age group= greater risk for falls
10. congestive heart A condition resulting from the heart's inability to pump out all the blood that
failure returns to it.
Blood backs up in the veins leading to the heart, causing an accumulation of fluid
in various parts of the body
11. medication for Digoxin
congestive heart (cardiac glycosides)
failure captopril
(angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors)
lasix (furosemide)
12. side effect from vertigo, arrhythmias, anorexia, dizziness, headache, tachycardia and hypotension
medication con-
gestive heart fail-
ure
13. action for CHF digoxin promotes movement of calcium from extracellular to intracellular and
medication strengthens myocardial contraction.
captopril inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme which prevents conversion of
angiotensin 1 to 2 which is a vasodilator
14. Captopril mecha- Captopril works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels
nism of action to tighten. As a result, the blood vessels relax. This lowers blood pressure and
increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart
15. Hyperthyroidism excessive activity of the thyroid gland
16. medication for radioactive iodine
hyperthyroidism tapazole
(antithyroid drugs)
, 17. side effect from nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle/joint pain, metallic taste in the mouth, dry
medication hy- mouth and neck tenderness
perthyroidism
18. action for hyper- tapazole inhibits production of thyroid hormones radioactive iodine destroys cells
thyroidism med- in the thyroid gland
ication
19. type 2 diabetes diabetes is caused by either a lack of insulin or the body's inability to use insulin
mellitus eflciently.
Usually develops in middle-aged or older adults. Patients usually do not require
insulin replacement therapy to control the disorder.
20. metformin Metformin works by reducing the amount of sugar your liver releases into your
blood. It also makes your body respond better to insulin.
21. side effect from metformin: nausea, vomiting. diarrhea, lactic acidosis
medication type
2 diabetes
22. diverticulitis inflammation of the diverticula
23. diverticulosis abnormal outpouchings in the intestinal wall of the colon
24. medication for penicillin (antibiotics),
diverticulitis acetaminophen
25. side effect from nausea, headache, stomach pain/upset, diarrhea and fatigue
medication diver-
ticulitis
26. action for diver- acetaminophen reduces mild to moderate pain penicillin fights infection by in-
ticular disease hibiting cell-wall synthesis during bacterial multiplication
