BSN HESI 266 MED SURG PRACTICE SET
2026 TESTED QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE
ANSWERS BUNDLED
●● Pathologic fracture.
Answer: Fractures that occur without evidence of trauma, often due to
loss of bone density from radiation damage.
●● Sexual activity after myocardial infarction.
Answer: Sexual intercourse after an MI requires no more energy
expenditure or cardiac stress than walking briskly up two flights of
stairs.
●● Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube.
Answer: A type of feeding tube that differs from a gastrostomy tube
primarily in the method of insertion.
●● PEG tube.
Answer: A tube inserted endoscopically through the esophagus into the
stomach, held in place by a bumper and a water-filled balloon.
●● GT.
,Answer: A tube inserted through an incision in the abdomen and sutured
to the gastric wall.
●● Proctosigmoidoscopy preparation.
Answer: Includes obtaining consent, a clear-liquid diet for 24 to 48
hours prior, administration of an enema, and fasting on the morning of
the procedure.
●● Dysuria in diabetes.
Answer: Elevated fingerstick glucose levels (e.g., 300 mg/dl) need to be
reported to adjust the care plan.
●● Right renal calculi nursing diagnosis priority.
Answer: Acute pain related to movement of the stone.
●● Chemotherapy initiation.
Answer: Starting chemotherapy early increases the chance of eradicating
cancer cells, as 50% of tumor cells are killed with each dose.
●● Asterixis.
Answer: A clinical sign of liver disease characterized by a flapping
tremor of the hands.
●● Clear-liquid diet.
,Answer: A diet consisting of clear fluids, often required 24 to 48 hours
before certain medical procedures.
●● Enema.
Answer: A procedure to introduce liquid into the rectum to stimulate a
bowel movement or cleanse the bowel before a procedure.
●● Fasting protocol.
Answer: Refraining from all food and drink for a specified period, often
required before medical procedures.
●● Suprapubic pain.
Answer: Pain located in the lower abdomen, often associated with
urinary issues.
●● Bounding pulse.
Answer: A pulse that feels strong and full, often measured at 100
beats/minute in this context.
●● Small vesicular perineal lesions.
Answer: Fluid-filled blisters in the perineal area, which may indicate an
infection or other medical condition.
●● Acute pain.
, Answer: Severe discomfort that arises suddenly, often related to
conditions like renal calculi.
●● Impaired urinary elimination.
Answer: Difficulty in passing urine, often due to obstruction.
●● Risk for infection.
Answer: Increased likelihood of developing an infection, often due to
conditions like urinary stasis.
●● Deficient knowledge.
Answer: A lack of understanding or information regarding a specific
health condition or its management.
●● Collateral circulation.
Answer: Alternative pathways of blood flow that develop as a response
to blockage or narrowing of blood vessels.
●● Cell cycle rate.
Answer: The speed at which a cell progresses through the phases of
growth and division, impacting its sensitivity to chemotherapy.
●● Tumor cell count reduction.
