RASMUSSEN MDC EXAM 2 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2025/2026
Remaining still for hours, sitting for long periods of time, anything that prevents circulation -
ANS Clients at risk for DVT
- Handrails in bathrooms
- Ramps instead of stairs
- Wear rubber sole shoes
- Avoid scatter rugs
- Prevent clutter
- Avoid slippery floors - ANS Prevention of falls
- Increased intraocular pressure in a hollow organ.
- When the intraocular pressure increase it leads to compression of the retinal blood vessels
and photoreceptors and their nerve fibers resulting in hypoxemia and death of the tissue and
loss of vision.
- Assure the patient can administer own eye drops correctly
- Keep follow-up appointments every 1-3 months to evaluate the IOP.
- If the patient had surgical treatment be sure to educate on the S&S of hemorrhage and
detachment including severe pain, and vision loss. These should be reported immediately to
HCP. - ANS Glaucoma teaching and pathophysiology
- Maintain perfusion, improve comfort, and prevent impaired mobility - ANS Prioritization of
care for a fracture

, - Handle with the palms of your hands, have patient report painful "hot spots" under the cast
which might indicate area of pressure necrosis, instruct patient to never put anything down into
the cast, encourage the patient/family to smell the area for mustiness or unpleasant odor (if
ignored the patient may develop a fever).
- Assess skin color and temperature, sensation, mobility, pain, capillary refill, and pulses distal to
the fracture site. CMS- circulation, movement, and sensation. - ANS Cast education and
assessment
- Infection of the bone. May be acute or chronic.
- Educate about medications, encourage compliance and to follow regimen (take full course of
medications), inform about signs and symptoms, provide comfort during rest and with
positioning, assist in ADL, coordinate physical therapy while in the hospital to help improve
mobility especially after surgery, provide mobility assistance devices. - ANS Osteomyelitis
prevention and treatment methods
- Gonioscopy is used when elevation intraocular pressure is diagnosed to determine if the
glaucoma is open-angle or closed-angle. It allows the visualization of the angle where the iris
meets the cornea. - ANS Test to determine open vs closed angle glaucoma
- CMS: circulation, mobility, sensation. Assess skin color, temperature, sensation, mobility, pain,
capillary refill, and pulses. - ANS Neurovascular assessment
- P: Palliative, Q: Quality, R: Region, S: Scale, T: Time - ANS Pain assessment
- The great toe shifts laterally, and the first metatarsal head of the great toe enlarges
- Pain especially when shoes are worn
- Treatment: custom made shoes or surgery - ANS Bunions (hallux valgus)
- Perform passive ROM exercises for patients who are immobile
- Turn and reposition every 2 hours
- Assess for skin redness - ANS Priority assessments for immobile patients
