FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING: OXYGENATION EXAM
QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS LATEST
UPDATED 2025/2026 BEST RATED TO SCORE A+ FOR SUCCESS
Dyspnea - CORRECT ANSWERS Clinical sign of hypoxia that is usually associated with
exercise or excitement associated with many medical and environmental factors.
Orthopnea - CORRECT ANSWERS abnormal condition in which the patient uses
multiple pillows when reclining to breath easier or sits leaning forward with arms elevated
Cough - CORRECT ANSWERS a sudden, audible expulsion of air from the lungs. It is a
protective reflex to clear the trachea, bronchi, and lungs of irritants and secretions.
Wheezing - CORRECT ANSWERS high-pitched musical sound caused by high-velocity
movement of air through a narrowed airway
Inspection: - CORRECT ANSWERS Reveals skin and mucous membrane color, general
appearance, level of consciousness, adequacy of systemic circulation, breathing patterns, and
chest wall movement
Apnea - CORRECT ANSWERS absence of respirations lasting for 15 seconds or longer
Cheyne-Stokes Respiration - CORRECT ANSWERS occurs when there is decreased blood
flow or injury to the brainstem.
Palpation: - CORRECT ANSWERS Documents the type and amount of thoracic
excursion; areas of tenderness; identifies tactile fremitus, thrills, heaves, and point of maximal
impulse (PMI)
Percussion: - CORRECT ANSWERS Detects the presence of abnormal fluid or air in the
lungs

Auscultation: - CORRECT ANSWERS Identifies normal and abnormal heart lung sounds
Cardiopulmonary Diagnostic Blood Studies: - CORRECT ANSWERS - Complete Blood
Count (CBC)
- Cardiac Enzymes
- Cardiac Troponins
- Serum Electrolytes
- Cholesterol
- Additional Tests
Cardiac Function Diagnostic Tests - CORRECT ANSWERS - Holter Monitor
- ECG Exercise Stress Test
- Thallium Stress Test
- Electrophysiological study (EPS)
- Echocardiography
- Scintigraphy
- Cardiac catheterization and angiography
Holter Monitor: - CORRECT ANSWERS Portable ECG worn by the patient
- The test produces a continuous ECG tracing over a period of time.
-Patients keep a diary of activity, noting when they experience rapid heartbeats or dizziness.
-Evaluation of ECG recording along with the diary provides information about the heart's
electrical activity during activities of daily living.
Exercise Stress Test: - CORRECT ANSWERS ECG is monitored while the patient walks on
a treadmill at a specified speed and duration of time

UPDATED 2025/2026 BEST RATED TO SCORE A+ FOR SUCCESS
- Used to evaluate the cardiac response to physical stress
- The test is not a valuable tool for evaluation of cardiac response in women because of an
increased false-positive finding
Thallium Stress Test: - CORRECT ANSWERS An ECG stress test with the addition of
thallium-201 injected IV
- Determines coronary blood flow changes with increased activity
EPS: - CORRECT ANSWERS Invasive measure of intracardiac electrical pathways.
- Provides more specific information about difficult-to-treat dysrhythmias
- Assess adequacy of antidysrhythmic medication
Echocardiography - CORRECT ANSWERS Noninvasive measure of heart structure and
heart wall motion
- Graphically demonstrates overall cardiac performance
Scintigraphy: - CORRECT ANSWERS Radionuclide angiography
- Used to evaluate cardiac structure, myocardial perfusion, and contractility
Cardiac Catheterization and Angiography: - CORRECT ANSWERS Used to visualize
cardiac chambers, valves, the great vessels, and coronary arteries
- Pressures and volumes within the four chambers of the heart are also measured
Ventilation and Oxygenation Diagnostic Studies: - CORRECT ANSWERS - Arterial Blood
Gases
- Pulmonary Function Tests
