A medicated IV of 100 mL is ordered to infuse in 2 hours. What is the flow rate?
50 mL / hr
100
This chest appearance results when the AP diameter equals the lateral diameter due to air trapping in emphysema.
What is barrel chest?
100
This capillary refill time is considered acceptable and indicates adequate peripheral circulation.
What is less than 2 seconds?
100
This easily accessible artery is typically used for routine vital sign assessment.
What is the radial artery?
100
Normally, lymph nodes have this visibility characteristic during inspection.
What is not visible?
200
A maintenance IV of 1000 mL D5LR is ordered to infuse in 8 hours. What is the flow rate?
125 mL / hr
200
During respiratory assessment, the examiner should work from apex to base while comparing findings at the same level using this technique.
What is side-to-side comparison?
200
This instrument is used to assess peripheral pulses when they are not palpable.
What is a Doppler (ultrasound)?
200
This artery is recommended for quickly finding and assessing pulse during cardiac emergencies.
What is the carotid artery?
200
Infuse 1500 mL D5W over 12 hours using tubing with a drop factor of 20 gtt/mL. Calculate gtt/min.
42 gtt/min (or 41.7 rounded)
Calculation:
- (1500 mL × 20 gtt/mL) ÷ (720 min) = 41.7 gtt/min

The physician has prescribed Aricept 15 mg p.o. daily.
Available: See label above: Aricept
How many tablets are needed for one dose?
1.5 tabs
300
These four common symptoms are typically explored when assessing current respiratory health problems.
What are cough, sputum production, chest pain, and shortness of breath?
300
These associated symptoms may occur with chest pain and include dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, and this excessive sweating.
What is diaphoresis?
300
When peripheral pulses weaken and become difficult to palpate, this has declined significantly.
What is cardiac output?
300
Blood flows from the left atrium through this valve into the left ventricle during ventricular diastole.
What is the mitral valve?
400
Ordered: 0.5 g of Drug A . Available: 250 mg per tab per dose bid. How many tabs would the nurse give per day?
8 tabs
400
These abnormal breath sounds include wheezing, rhonchi, or crackles.
What are adventitious lung sounds?
400
This systematic cardiac examination technique begins with inspection and examines the precordium from the side, at a right angle, and downward.
What is cardiac inspection?
400
An irregular pulse should always be counted for this length of time.
What is 60 seconds (or 1 full minute)?
400
An order reads: "Infuse 1000 mL of normal saline over 8 hours." The IV tubing has a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. Calculate the drip rate in gtt/min.
31 gtt/min (or 31.25 rounded down)
500
An IV of 1000 mL at 100 mL per hr is started at 1200 hours. At 1800 hours how many should have been infuse
600 mL
500
This process represents the transport of oxygen to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues.
What is gas exchange?
500
This alternative term for the apical impulse represents the pulse in the mitral area at the apex of the heart.
What is the point of maximal impulse (PMI)?
500
This pulse is located in the groove between the biceps and triceps muscles at the antecubital fossa.
What is the brachial pulse?
500
During systolic contraction, the left ventricle generates enough pressure to close the mitral valve and open this valve to propel blood into systemic circulation.
What is the aortic valve?
