CORE RNC Low Risk Neonatal Intensive Care
Nursing
Finals Test Review (Qns & Ans)
2025
1. What is the primary goal of evidence-based practice in
professional nursing?
- A. To increase nurse autonomy
- B. To integrate clinical expertise with research and patient
values
- C. To reduce nurse workload
- D. To standardize all patient care interventions
Correct ANS: B. To integrate clinical expertise with research
and patient values
©2025
, Rationale: Evidence-based practice improves outcomes by
combining research, clinical judgment, and patient preferences.
2. Which pathophysiological change is associated with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
- A. Increased lung compliance
- B. Decreased alveolar surface area for gas exchange
- C. Reduced pulmonary blood flow
- D. Excess production of surfactant
Correct ANS: B. Decreased alveolar surface area for gas
exchange
Rationale: In COPD, alveolar destruction reduces gas
exchange efficiency, leading to hypoxemia.
3. Which pharmacological agent is most appropriate for managing
acute asthma exacerbations?
- A. Beta-2 agonist (e.g., albuterol)
- B. Leukotriene receptor antagonist
- C. Long-acting beta agonist
- D. Anticholinergic medication
Correct ANS: A. Beta-2 agonist (e.g., albuterol)
©2025
, Rationale: Short-acting beta-2 agonists are the first-line
treatment for rapid bronchodilation during acute asthma attacks.
4. Which quality improvement tool helps identify the root cause
of a problem in healthcare systems?
- A. Control chart
- B. Ishikawa (Fishbone) diagram
- C. Pareto chart
- D. Run chart
Correct ANS: B. Ishikawa (Fishbone) diagram
Rationale: The Fishbone diagram systematically identifies
underlying causes of problems.
