EXAM 1: Fundamental Concepts &
Skills (Questions 1–60)
Nursing Process & Critical Thinking (1–12)
1. During which phase of the nursing process does the nurse identify actual
or potential health problems?
a) Assessment
b) Diagnosis
c) Planning
d) Evaluation
b) Diagnosis
Rationale: The diagnosis phase involves analyzing data to identify health problems (NANDA-I),
per ANA Standards.
2. A patient reports nausea after chemotherapy. Which nursing diagnosis is
priority?
a) Risk for fluid volume deficit
b) Acute pain
c) Impaired skin integrity
d) Knowledge deficit
a) Risk for fluid volume deficit
Rationale: Nausea increases dehydration risk; priority per Maslow’s hierarchy and ABCs.
3. A nurse sets a goal: “Patient will ambulate 100 feet with walker by
discharge.” This is an example of:
a) Short-term goal
,b) Long-term goal
c) Intervention
d) Evaluation
b) Long-term goal
Rationale: Goals tied to discharge are long-term; short-term are within 24–48 hours.
4. The nurse teaches a patient to use an incentive spirometer. This is which
phase?
a) Assessment
b) Implementation
c) Planning
d) Diagnosis
b) Implementation
Rationale: Teaching is an action carried out during the implementation phase.
5. After intervention, the patient’s pain is 2/10. This reflects which phase?
a) Planning
b) Evaluation
c) Diagnosis
d) Assessment
b) Evaluation
Rationale: Comparing outcomes to goals occurs in evaluation.
6. A nurse uses clinical judgment to delay a medication due to low BP. This
is:
a) Critical thinking
b) Delegation
c) Documentation
d) Assessment
a) Critical thinking
Rationale: Analyzing risk and making decisions reflects clinical judgment (Tanner’s Model).
7. Which data is subjective?
a) BP 90/60
b) Patient states “I feel dizzy”
c) Temperature 101.2°F
d) Wound drainage 50 mL
b) Patient states “I feel dizzy”
Rationale: Subjective data is patient-reported; objective is measurable.
8. A SMART goal includes all except:
a) Specific
b) Measurable
c) Vague
d) Time-bound
, c) Vague
Rationale: SMART goals must avoid vagueness to be effective.
9. The nurse clusters cues: dyspnea, cyanosis, SpO2 88%. This leads to:
a) Ineffective airway clearance
b) Risk for infection
c) Impaired skin integrity
d) Acute pain
a) Ineffective airway clearance
Rationale: Clustering respiratory cues supports airway diagnosis.
10. Which is a collaborative intervention?
a) Administer oxygen
b) Teach deep breathing
c) Order chest X-ray
d) Reposition patient
c) Order chest X-ray
Rationale: Requires provider order; others are independent nursing actions.
11. The nurse revises the care plan after evaluation. This is:
a) Termination
b) Modification
c) Delegation
d) Assessment
b) Modification
Rationale: Unmet goals require plan revision.
12. A nurse prioritizes a patient with sudden chest pain over routine meds.
This uses:
a) ABCs
b) Maslow
c) Both
d) Neither
c) Both
Rationale: Airway/breathing (ABC) and physiological needs (Maslow) guide priority.
Patient Safety & Infection Control (13–27)
13. A patient is on airborne precautions. Which room is required?
a) Standard room
b) Negative pressure room
c) Positive pressure room
d) Shared room
