UPDATED Questions with 100% Verified Answers
Q1: What is General Survey?
A: provides an overall impression of the person
general health as a whole vs whole body system
physical characteristics
begins with initial interaction
Q2: 4 areas covered by Gen Survey
A: physical appearance
body structure
mobility
behavior
Q3: Gen Survey - physical appearance
A: age
sex
LOC
skin color
facial features
overall appearance
Q4: Gen Survey - body structure
A: stature
nutrition
symmetry
posture
position
Q5: Gen Survey - mobility
A: gait
ROM
lack of involuntary movement
Q6: Gen Survey - behavior
A: facial expressions
mood and affect
speech
speech pattern
dress
personal hygiene
,Q7: alterations in the Gen Survey
A: poor personal hygiene (body odor, scent of alcohol, unkempt appearance)
unexplained weight loss (illness or depression)
unexplained weight gain (circulatory issue, fluid retention)
inappropriate clothing (too big/small, dirty/poor repair, inappropriate for the season)
facial expressions (flat, depressed , angry, sad, anxious)
Q8: What are other things nurses notice in Gen Survey?
A: weight
height
BMI
Q9: Developmental considerations for Gen Survey
A: children (physical appearance, interaction with adults)
aging adult (physical appearance, posture, mobility)
Q10: Normal temp range for adults
A: 96.8 to 99.0 F
36 to 37.3 C
Q11: Normal BP for adults
A: 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg
Q12: Normal pulse for adults & adolescents
A: 60-100 bpm
Q13: Normal respiratory rates for adults & adolescents
A: 12-20 per minute
Q14: Normal O2 saturation for adults
A: 95-100% on room air
lower than 90% is considered abnormal and require further evaluation
Q15: orthostatic hypotension
A: A 20-30 mmHg drop in blood pressure when the patient moves from a lying or sitting
position to standing
Q16: Elevated temp interventions
A: Remove excess clothing or blankets
Provide cooling measures (tepid baths, cool compresses)
Encourage oral fluid intake to prevent dehydration
Administer antipyretics as ordered
, Monitor frequently and reassess after interventions
Q17: Hypothermia interventions
A: Provide warming blankets
Offer warm fluids if patient can swallow safely
Monitor core temperature closely
Gradual rewarming is preferred to avoid complications
Q18: Tachycardia interventions
A: Assess for underlying causes (fever, anxiety, pain, hypotension)
Promote rest and reduce anxiety
Address contributing factors (pain management, fever reduction)
Monitor rhythm and report irregularities
Q19: Bradycardia interventions
A: Assess patient's baseline and activity level
Monitor for signs of inadequate perfusion
Hold medications that slow heart rate if ordered
Report significant changes to the provider
Q20: Tachypnea interventions
A: Position patient upright to maximize lung expansion
Assess oxygen saturation
Provide supplemental oxygen as ordered
Identify and address underlying causes (fever, anxiety, pain)
Q21: Bradypnea interventions
A: Stimulate patient if lethargic
Assess for medication effects (opioids, sedatives)
Monitor oxygen saturation closely
Prepare for possible intervention
Q22: General principles of interventions
A: Always compare findings to patient's baseline
Consider age-appropriate norms
Reassess after interventions
Document findings and interventions
Report significant changes to the healthcare provider
Q23: Hypertension interventions
A: Ensure proper measurement technique with correctly sized cuff 3
Have patient rest 5 minutes before retaking
