Terms in this set (387)
HESI PN EXIT EXAM A series of exit exams for practical nursing students,
consisting of multiple versions (V1 to V10) with a total of 1500
questions.
Subcutaneous Insulin Injection A method of administering insulin by injecting it into the
subcutaneous tissue.
Injection Technique Reteach The process of instructing a client on proper injection
techniques, such as rotating injection sites.
Intra-site Rotation The practice of using different sites for injections at different
times of the day to ensure consistent absorption rates.
Radial Pulse Assessment The method of measuring the pulse at the radial artery,
typically located on the wrist.
Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) Healthcare workers who assist licensed professionals but are
not licensed themselves.
,Pulse Volume Check An assessment of the strength of the pulse, which can
indicate the patient's circulatory status.
Gestational Diabetes A form of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy, which can
affect the birth weight of the infant.
Birth Weight of Infant The weight of a newborn at the time of delivery, which can be
influenced by maternal health conditions such as gestational
diabetes.
10.1 pounds The birth weight of an infant delivered by a woman with
gestational diabetes, equivalent to 4,581 grams.
NCLEX (NGN) Next Generation NCLEX, an updated version of the nursing
licensure exam that incorporates new testing methods.
Test Bank A collection of questions and answers used for study and
preparation for nursing exams.
Rationale The reasoning behind a nursing action or decision, often
provided to explain correct techniques or procedures.
Alcohol Pad Application The technique of cleaning the injection site with an alcohol
pad before administering an injection.
90-degree Angle Injection The recommended angle for inserting a needle during a
subcutaneous injection to ensure proper delivery of
medication.
Client Self-Administration The process where a patient administers their own
medication, such as insulin, under guidance.
Accuracy of Pulse Rate The correctness of the pulse rate measurement, which should
be confirmed by a licensed nurse.
Counting Radial Pulse The action of measuring the pulse rate at the radial artery,
typically done for a full minute.
Thumb and Pinky Finger Alignment The correct positioning of fingers when assessing the radial
and brachial pulses.
Study Material Marketplace An online platform where students can buy and sell
educational resources, including notes and flashcards.
150 X 10VS QUESTIONS A format indicating 150 questions per version across 10
versions of the HESI PN Exit Exam.
Authentic Exam Questions Real exam questions that are representative of the
actual content on the HESI PN Exit Exam.
, Guarantee A+ Score A promise that using the provided study materials will help
achieve a high score on the exam.
Heel stick glucose level A measurement of blood glucose taken from a heel stick, with
a level of 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) indicating potential
hypoglycemia in an infant.
Intervention for hypoglycemia in infants Offering nipple feedings of 10% dextrose is the first
intervention to implement for an infant with low blood
glucose.
Total intake calculation Total intake is calculated by summing the volumes of oral
and IV fluids consumed, resulting in 1480 mL.
Unlabeled syringe medication The practical nurse (PN) should refuse to administer
administration medication from an unlabeled syringe to avoid jeopardizing
their license.
UAP assignment in urology unit Tasks that can be assigned to unlicensed assistive personnel
(UAP) include emptying bedside drainage units and
transporting urine culture samples.
Pruritis intervention Keeping fingernails trimmed short helps minimize excoriation
from scratching the pruritic area.
Presbycusis A common hearing loss in older adults, characterized by a
gradual progressive inability to hear, especially high-
frequency sounds.
IV fluid intake 1 liter of IV fluid is equivalent to 1000 mL.
Oral intake from broth 8 ounces of broth equals 240 mL (8 oz x 30 mL).
Oral intake from apple juice 4 ounces of apple juice equals 120 mL (4 oz x 30 mL).
Oral intake from flavored gelatin 4 ounces of flavored gelatin equals 120 mL (4 oz x 30 mL).
Signs of hypocalcemia Assessing for signs of hypocalcemia is a necessary
intervention when an infant presents with jitteriness.
Frequent feedings Providing frequent feedings can help reduce an infant's blood
glucose levels.
Comfort in medication administration It is acceptable for a practical nurse to express discomfort in
administering medication from an unlabeled syringe.
Teaching urine output measurement Teaching a client with fluid restrictions how to measure urine
output is not a task suitable for UAP.
