A colostomy was created in a client who was diagnosed with colon cancer. During the first day post-
op, the nurse does not find any measurable fecal drainage from the patients's colostomy. What
should the nurse do?
A. continue the current plan of care
B. call the doctor immediately
C. irrigate the stoma
D. encourage the patient to increase fluid intake

ANSWER: A
The normal plan of care should be continued because the colostomy is expected not to function for 2 days or more
(48 to 72 hours) after surgery. Since no fecal drainage is expected for 48 to 72 hours after a colostomy (only mucous
and serosanguineous drainage), the physician need not be notified and the stoma should not be irrigated at this time.

Before administering an intermittent tube feeding the nurse aspirates 40ml of undigested formula
from the clients nasogastric tube. Which should the nurse implement as a result of this finding?

A. Discard the aspirate and record as pt. output

B. Mix with new formula to administer the feeding

C. Dilute with water and inject into the nasogastric tube

D. Reinstill the aspirate through the nasogastric tube via gravity using a syringe

ANSWER D

AFTER checking residual feeding contents the nurse reinstills the gastric contents into the stomach
by removing the syringe bulb of plunger and pouring the gastric contents via the syringe into the
nasogastric tube. Gastric contents should be reinstilled(unless they exceed an amount of 100ml or
as defined by agency policy) in order to maintain the clients fluid and electrolyte balance. The nurse
avoids mixing gastric aspirate with fresh formula to prevent contamination. Because the gastric
aspirate is a small volume it should be reinstilled. However mixing the formula with water

Test taking strategy --> use the process of elimination. Eliminate A because it increases the risk of
dehydration. Remembering that the removal of gastric contents can disturb the clients fluid and
electrolyte balance will assist in eliminating B C. Also recalling that aspirated gastric contents are not
mixed with formula .

1. When administering enteral feeding to a client via a jejunostomy tube, the nurse should administer
the formula
A. Every four to six hours
B. Continuously
C. In a bolus
D. Every hour
2. Which bed position is preferred for use with a client in an extended care facility on falls risk
prevention protocol?
A. All 4 side rails up, wheels locked, bed closest to door
B. Lower side rails up, bed facing doorway
C. Knees bent, head slightly elevated, bed in lowest position
D. Bed in lowest position, wheels locked, place bed against wall
ANSWERS:
1) B: Continuously
Usually gastrostomy and jejunostomy feedings are given continuously to ensure proper absorption.
However, initial feedings may be given by bolus to assess the client''s tolerance to formula.

2) D: Bed in lowest position, wheels locked, place bed against wall

No longer is it advisable to use the lower side rails. With all 4 side rails used it reflects inappropriate
use of protective restraints without an order. Placing the bed against the wall permits getting out of
bed on only 1 side. Locking the wheels keeps the bed from sliding. Keeping the bed in the lowest
position (without bending limbs to restrict movement) provides a shorter distance to the ground if the
client chooses to get out of bed. If the side rails are used 3 pulled up are acceptable. If 4 are pulled
up an order for protective restraints is needed and has to usually be renewed in 48 to 72 hours along
with more frequent documentation.

Writing goals/desired outcomes is part of the 3rd phase of the nursing process. Nurse Lemuel is
writing desired outcomes for his patient. Which of the following desired outcomes indicate that Nurse

B. Facilitate patients understanding of his disease
C. Allow the patient to do a 30-minute light intensity exercise 4-5 times a week as tolerated
D. The patient will be able to recall 5 symptoms of diabetes before discharge
.
.
.
ANSWER: D
Desired outcomes should focus on the clients response and behavior. Each desired outcome should
start with the words the patient or the client to help make the desired outcome client-centered. Avoid
using statements that start with enable, facilitate, allow, permit, let or other similar verbs because
these denote what the nurse hopes to accomplish, not what the client should do.

Situation: A cardiac surgeon at Iloilo Mission Hospital is undergoing surgery after being shot twice
inside the hospital by Michael Cruz, 41, of Roxas, Capiz. Mr. Cruz then shot himself. In a press
conference in the afternoon following the incident, hospital and law enforcement officials said that no
one else was injured. Officials said that hospital staff barricaded themselves in separate rooms until
the hospital was deemed safe. Staff were said to have responded quickly and in an appropriate
manner to protect themselves and patients. This wasn't by accident.

Question:
The nurse is aware that the main reason for accidents in hospital is:

A. People sneak in cigarettes

B. Equipment breaks unexpectedly
C. Patients do not recognize hazards
D. Safety precautions always take extra time

---

Test Taking Tip: Identify the key word in the stem that sets a priority. Identify the option that contains
a specific determiner.
 The word "main" in the stem is a keyword that sets a priority. The word "always" in option D is a
specific determiner.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
Patients can be cognitively impaired, deny their physical impairments, or have limited perception,
which impedes their ability to recognize hazards. Usually it takes the same amount of time to do
something correctly as it does to do it incorrectly in letter D.

Accidents are not accidents but precise arrivals at the wrong right time

The primary nurse assigns a staff nurse to insert an indwelling urinary (Foley) catheter. What is the
first thing the staff nurse should do?

A. Explain the procedure to the patient

B. Gather equipment at the bedside
C. Check the physician's order
D. Wash hands thoroughly

--------------------

Test Taking Tip: This question is designed to test your ability to recognize that the insertion of a
urinary catheter is a DEPENDENT nursing intervention that requires physician/doctor's order.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Inserting an indwelling urinary catheter is a dependent nursing intervention and requires
a physician's order that first must BE VERIFIED by the nurse implementing the order. Washing the
hands is not the first step in this procedure. Gathering equipment for this procedure is premature.
You can't directly explain the procedure to your patient, there are other things the nurse must do first.

In order proper sequence for this procedure would be:

1st - Check the doctor's order (C)
2nd - Explain the procedure to the patient (A)
3rd - Gather equipment at the bedsides (B)
4th - Wash hands thoroughly (D)
A client has a left pleural effusion that has not yet been treated. The nurse plans to have which of the
ff items available for immediate use?

A. Intubation tray
B. Paracentesis tray
C. Thoracentesis tray
D. Central venous line insertion tray

ANSWER C
The client with a significant pleural effusion is usually treated by thoracentesis. This procedure allows
drainage of the fluid which may then be analyzed to determine the precise cause of the effusion.

Test taking -> use the process of elimination and knowledge regarding the usual treatment for pleural
effusion. Note the relationship between the word PLEURAL in the and THORACENTESIS.

A complete blood count is commonly performed before a petient goes into surgery. What does this
test seek to identify?
A. Abnormally low hematocrit (HCT) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels
B. Potential hepatic dysfunction indicated by decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine
levels
C. Electrolyte imbalance that could affect the blood's ability to coagulate properly
D. Low levels of urine constituents normally excreted in the urine
.
ANSWER: A
Low preoperative HCT and Hb levels indicate the client may require a blood transfusion before
surgery. If the HCT and Hb levels decrease during surgery because of blood loss, the potential need
for a transfusion increases. Possible renal failure is indicated by elevated BUN or creatinine levels.
Urine constituents aren't found in the blood. Coagulation is determined by the presence of
appropriate clotting factors, not electrolytes.

After receiving a dose of penicillin, a client develops dyspnea and hypotension. Nurse Celestina
suspects the client is experiencing anaphylactic shock. What should the nurse do first?
A. Page an anesthesiologist immediately and prepare to intubate the client.
B. Administer the antidote for penicillin, as prescribed, and continue to monitor the client's vital
signs.
C. Insert an indwelling urinary catheter and begin to infuse I.V. fluids as ordered.
D. Administer epinephrine, as prescribed, and prepare to intubate the client if necessary.
.
ANSWER: D
To reverse anaphylactic shock, the nurse first should administer epinephrine, a potent bronchodilator
as prescribed. The physician is likely to order additional medications, such as antihistamines and
corticosteroids; if these medications don't relieve the respiratory compromise associated with
anaphylaxis, the nurse should prepare to intubate the client. No antidote for penicillin exists;
however, the nurse should continue to monitor the client's vital signs. A client who remains
hypotensive may need fluid resuscitation and fluid intake and output monitoring; however,
administering epinephrine is the first priority.

ambulation, the priority nursing assessment is to determine that the client has

A. Self consciousness about using a cane

B. Full range of motion in lower extremities

C. An adequate level of stamina and energy

D. Balance muscle strength and confidence

Henderson. Henderson also describes the NATURE OF NURSING theory. She identified 14 basic
needs of the client. She describes nursing roles as SUBSTITUTIVE : Doing everything for the client,
SUPPLEMENTARY : Helping the client and COMPLEMENTARY : Working with the client. Breathing
normally, Eliminating waste, Eating and drinking adquately, Worship and Play are some of the basic
needs according to her.

Situation: Mrs. Mejia lost her PNP - Special Action Force (SAF) trooper husband PO2
Ephraim Mejia in a Mamasapano Clash at Maguindanao. She is brought to the
Pangasinan Provincial Hospital (PPH) one month after the January 25, 2015 incident
for loss of appetite and difficulty of sleeping. On admission, she states "Bakit ito
kailangang mangyari sa akin? Hindi ko na talaga kaya. Miss na miss ko na ang aking
asawa."
Question: The first step in crisis intervention for Mrs. Mejia is which one of the
following?
A. Suggesting available community resources, which can help her
B. Assessing the situation thoroughly
C. Teaching Mrs. Mejia relaxation technique
D. Helping Mrs. Mejia identify the sources of her stress
---
There are Six-Steps model of Crisis Intervention
1. Defining the problem
2. Ensuring client safety
3. Providing support
4. Examining alternatives
5. Making Plans
6. Obtaining commitment
The six-step model of crisis intervention focuses on the immediate process of
actively, assertively, intentionally, and continuously assessing, listening and acting
to systemically assist the client to regain as much of the pre-crisis equilibrium,
mobility and autonomy as possible.
Read here: http://goo.gl/HiFNgx
Correct answer is B
Rationale: ASSESSING is under in the ensuring safety since the question is asking
for "First Step" (nothing more). Ensuring safety means constantly assessing the
possibility of physical and psychological danger to the client as well as to others and
the internal impact of environmental situation. Teaching Mrs. Mejia about relaxation
technique is the 5th step on crisis intervention. Why? Because it provides COPING
MECHANISM and action steps which are concrete and positive for the client to do in
the present with COLLABORATION also. Like relaxation technique, helping Mrs. Mejia
identify the sources of stress and suggesting available community resources can
also be seen at the PLANNING.
That's why only letter B belongs to assessment, the rest are planning. And by virtue
of nursing process (ADOPIE) still, assessment should be done first obviously, pwera
lang po kung nag over analyzed kayo sa tanong smile emoticon since wala naman
pong LISTENING (w/c is the first/top step in crisis intervention) then we will choose
ASSESSMENT.
The first three steps of the six-step model are:
1) Defining the problem:
- Use active LISTENING, including open-ended questions.
2) Ensuring client safety:
- ASSESS internal impact as well as environmental situation.
3) Providing support:
- It is important that you communicate to the client that you care about her.
Steps 4, 5, and 6 involve ACTING strategies.
4) Examining alternatives:
- Assist in brainstorming choices available now. Search for immediate supports.
5) Making Plans:
- Provides something concrete and positive for the patient to do now with definite
action steps which the patient can own and comprehend.
6) Obtaining commitment:
- Help the patient commit to a definite action step. This step involves asking the
client to verbally summarize the plan.
.
LISTENING
Observing, understanding and responding with empathy, genuineness, respect,
concreteness, acceptance, non-judgment and caring. Psychological First Aid
ASSESSING
Evaluating the patient's present and past situational crises in terms of coping
ability, mobility, lethality and need for your aid.
ACTING
Your involvement in the crisis is non-directive, collaborative or directive, according
to the assessed needs of the patient and
the availability of environmental supports.
Summary: The first three steps of this model are usually more passive listening
activities than actions. The final three steps are largely action behaviors on your
part even though listening is always present along with assessment as an
overarching theme.

Which type of white blood cells release histamine during an anaphylactic reaction?

A. Neutrophils
B. Lymphocytes
C. Eosinophils
D. Basophils

Answer is D

Rationale:

During an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, basophils release histamine, leading to vasodilation, increased capillary
permeability, and bronchospam.

Neutrophils defend against bacteria and fungi and produce relatively small inflammatory responses as first
responders.

Lymphocytes defend against viral infections and do not release histamine during an allergic reaction.

Eosinophils primarily defend against parasitic infections and are important in allergic responses. However, they
primarily release interleukin, not histamine.

Neutrophils
Acute bacterial infection

Monocytes
Chronic bacterial infection

Basophils
External inflammation
histamine/allergies
Eosinophils
Internal inflammation

In order to increase medication effectiveness the nurse should instruct the client taking oral bisacodyl
to take the medication

A. At bedtime
B. With a large meal
C. With a glass of milk
D. On an empty stomach
ANSWER D
The most rapid effect from bisacodyl occurs when it is taken on an empty stomach. It will not have a
rapid effect if taken with a large meal. If it is taken at bedtime the client will have a bowel movement
in the morning. Taking the medication with a glass of milk will not speed up its effect.

Test taking--> focus on subject achieving a rapid effect. Recalling that medications generally are
more effective if taken on an empty stomach.

Nursing Practice 1
Category: Chain of Infection

Which of the following is the exact order of the infection chain?

1. Susceptible host
2. Portal of entry
3. Portal of exit
4. Etiologic agent
5. Reservoir
6. Mode of transmission
A. 1,4,5,2,6,3
B. 4,5,2,6,3,1
C. 4,5,3,6,2,1
D. 4,5,6,3,2,1

Correct Answer is Letter C (why not A,B nor D?)

1st: Etiologic agent

2nd: Reservoir
3rd: Portal of exit
4th: Mode of transmission
5th: Portal of entry
6th: Susceptible host

Rationale:
Chain of infection starts with the SOURCE : The etiologic agent itself. It will first proliferate on a
RESERVOIR and will need a PORTAL OF EXIT to be able to TRANSMIT itself using a PORTAL OF
ENTRY to a SUSCEPTIBLE HOST.
A simple way to understand the process is by looking at the lives of a young queen ant that is
starting to build her colony. Imagine the QUEEN ANT as a SOURCE or the ETIOLOGIC AGENT.
She first need to build a COLONY, OR the RESERVOIR where she will start to lay the first eggs to be
able to produce her worker ants and soldier ants to be able to defend and sustain the new colony.
They need to EXIT [PORTAL OF EXIT] their colony and crawl [MODE OF TRANSMISSION] in
search of foods by ENTERING / INVADING [PORTAL OF ENTRY] our HOUSE [SUSCEPTIBLE
HOST]. By imagining the Ant's life cycle, we can easily arrange the chain of infection

Nursing Practice 1
Category: Nursing Theories
November 2014 Board Exam Question

Situation: Nursing theories affect everyday nursing practice. Most nurses employ a number of
theories in practice rather than using one theory exclusively. Using a variety of nursing theories
during a given day, allows the nurse to choose the best theory to fit the situation. In an ideal setting,
nursing theories serve to provide underpinnings to nursing care in every patient encounter. They help
nurses use critical thinking skills, analytical and improve concept comprehension. Nursing theories
improve patient care, patient outcomes, and nurse-patient communication. Through the use of
nursing theories in practice, new knowledge and data are gleaned that can influence the future of
nursing practice.
-

1) Which nursing theorist believes that most patients are capable of performing self care?
A. Sister Callista Roy
B. Madeleine Leininger
C. Martha Rogers
D. Dorothea Orem

2) The nursing theorist whose worked focused on twenty-one problems of nursing.

A. Faye Abdellah
B. Lydia E. Hall
C. Ida Jean Orlando
D. Virginia Henderson

3) Defined health as a dynamic state in the life cycle, and Illness as interference in the life cycle.
A. Betty Neuman
B. Imogene King
C. Martha Rogers
D. Dorothy Johnson

4) Which theorist can be defined as "The goal of nursing is to put the patient in best condition for
nature to act upon him, primarily by altering the environment."
A. Dorothea Orem
B. Madeleine Leininger
C. Joyce Travelbee
D. Florence Nightingale

5) For her, Nursing is a theoretical system of knowledge that prescribes a process of analysis and
action related to care of the ill person
A. Sister Callista Roy
B. Jean Watson
C. Imogene King
D. Lydia E. Hall

Correct answers: D A B D A

Rationale:

1. Dorothea Orem developed the Self Care theory or model. This theory maintains that some
patients are completely compensatory and totally dependent on the nurse for care, other patients are
partially compensatory and need only assistance by the nurse and others are totally independent in
terms of their self care needs.

2. Faye Glenn Abdellah also made a name in the nursing profession with the formulation of her 21
Nursing Problems Theory. Her theory changed the focus of nursing from disease-centered to
patient-centered, and began to include the care of families and the elderly in nursing care.

3. Imogene King states that health is a state in the life cycle and Illness is any interference on this
cycle. I enjoyed the Movie LION KING and like what Mufasa said that they are all part of the CIRCLE
OF LIFE or the Life cycle. Hehe! King has interrelated the concepts of interaction, perception,
communication, transaction, self, role, stress, growth and development, time, and space into a theory
of goal attainment. Her theory deals with a nurse-client dyad, a relationship to which each person
brings personal perceptions of self, role, and personal levels of growth and development.

4. Florence nightingale do not believe in the germ theory, and perhaps this was her biggest mistake.
Yet, her theory was the first in nursing. She believed that manipulation of environment that includes
appropriate noise, nutrition, hygiene, light,comfort, sanitation etc. could provide the clients body the
nurturance it needs for repair and recovery.

5. Remember the word THEOROYTICAL' For Callista Roy, Nursing is a theoretical body of
knowledge that prescribes analysis and action to care for an ill person. She introduced the
ADAPTATION MODEL and viewed person as a BIOSPSYCHOSOCIALBEING. She believed that by
adaptation, Man can maintain homeostasis.

Situation: Recognition of Normal values is vital in assessment of clients with various disorders

renal failure assists the client to make which of the following low phosphorus menu selections?
A. Milkshake
B. Scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast
C. Fresh fruit plate
D. Chicken sandwich
.
.
.
ANSWER: C
Fresh fruit plate is LOW in phosphorus. Eggs, poultry, whole grains, and dairy products are all foods
HIGH in phosphorus. The control of phosphate levels is started early in CRF to avoid
osteodystrophy. The nurse should monitor serum phosphate levels of the client. Dietary phosphorus
restrictions and drugs to assist with phosphate control may be prescribed. Phosphate binders must
be taken at mealtime.

Nurse Mary, the outgoing nurse, has just endorsed to you a patient who has IV infiltration as
documented in his charting. Which of the following assessment findings on the patient would cause
you to question Nurse Marys documentation?
A. (+) blanching and swelling on the skin surrounding the IV site
B. there is discomfort in the IV site when palpated as verbalized by the patient
C. the IV site feels warm to touch
D.. the IV fluid is flowing very slowly
Answer C
Infiltration occurs when the IV cannula is dislodged from the vein which causes the IV fluid or
medication to be infused into the surrounding tissue.
The clinical manifestations of infiltration are the following: swelling, blanching and coolness of the
skin and surrounding tissues, discomfort, depending on the IV solution, the fluid is flowing more
slowly or stops flowing, and there is absence of blood backflow in the IV catheter and tubing.
(letter C warm to touch) is a symptom of Phlebitis (Infiltration - cold to touch)

Assessment of correct tube placement is essential in ensuring that the NGT has passed through the
esophagus and not the trachea into the lungs.
Nurse Grace has just inserted an NGT into his patient and wants to check for placement. Which of
the following assessment findings would indicate that the NGT is placed in the intestines and rather
than the stomach?
A. a whooshing sound is heard from the patients epigastrium using a stethoscope when 20 mL of air
is injected into the NGT
B. aspirated contents from NGT has a pH of 2
C. aspirated contents has a bilirubin level of 13 mg/dL
D. an opaque tube is seen through x-ray from the nose up to the stomach
.
.
.
ANSWER. C. aspirated contents has a bilirubin level of 13 mg/dL If the aspirate has a bilirubin level
of > 10 mg/dL, then it is from the intestines, not the stomach. Aspirate from the stomach usually has
a bilirubin level of 1.5 mg/dL, while those from the lungs have a bilirubin level of almost zero. An
acidic aspirate confirms that it is from the stomach, while a pH of 6 or greater indicates that the
aspirate is either from the intestinal or respiratory tract. Auscultation and x-ray are also correct
techniques of checking for NGT placement in the stomach.
