FUNDAMENTAL OF NURSING TEST EXAM  WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS Name: Date: 1. Which statement regarding heart sounds is correct? a.S1 and s2 sound equally loud over the entire cardiac area. b.S1 and sound fainter at the apex than at the base. c.S and 2 sound fainter at the base than at the apex. d. S1 is loudest at the apex, and S2 is loudest at the base.  Rationale: The S1 sound — the “lub” sound — is loudest at the apex of the heart. It sounds  longer, lower, and louder there...

minimum urine output for adult 0.5mL/kg/hr ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - water retainer - vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin) - produced by hypothalamus - store and released from posterior pituitary ADH pathway - hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and increased serum osmolality - signal pituitary to release ADH - ADH causes kidney to retain water - water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum osmolality ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) -...

The nurse is caring for a patient admitted with hypovolemic shock. The nurse palpates thready brachial pulses but is unable to auscultate a blood pressure. What is the best nursing action? a. Assess the blood pressure by Doppler. b. Estimate the systolic pressure as 60 mm Hg. c. Obtain an electronic blood pressure monitor. d. Record the blood pressure as not assessable. A ~ Auscultated blood pressures in shock may be significantly inaccurate due to vasoconstriction. If blood pressure is not...

isotonic fluids Correct Answer-normal saline and D5W have a concentration of dissolved particles equal to that of the ICF. Osmotic pressure is the same inside and outside the cells, so they neither shrink nor swell with fluid movement. hypertonic solutions Correct Answer-3% saline, D5 in normal saline, D5 in half normal saline, and D10 in normal saline Has a tonicity greater than that of the ICF, so osmotic pressure is unequal inside and outside of the cell. Dehydration or rapid infusion of...

Fluid regulation mechanisms - Answer--The thirst center. The thirst center in the hypothalamus stimulates or inhibits the desire for a person to drink. -Antidiuretic hormone. ADH regulates the amount of water the kidney tubules absorb and is released in response to low blood volume or in response to an increase in the concentration of sodium and other solutes in the intravascular fluids. -The RAAS. The RAA system controls fluid volume, in which when the blood volume decreases, blood flow t...

What is tonicity? Correct Answer the ability of a solution to change shape or tone of cells by altering the cells internal water volume. A solution's tonicity depends on the solution's concentration of nonpenetrating solutes (e.g., NaCl) relative to that in the cell, not on the total osmolarity of the solution. Tonicity provides the information on how the solution affects the cell's volume - Why does it matter if a cell is hypertonic or hypotonic? - Water movement depends on what type of...
