Tips for Studying and Resources to Help You through Nursing Final Exams
Planning (1 point): The plan proposed to address the diagnosis includes at least one correct component.
Relevant Diagnoses
1. Acute pain of the foot – 4 of 4 points
– Priority – 1 / 1
– Student Response: High
– Correct Priority: High
– Priority Pro Tip: Managing acute pain is an immediate high priority because other health concerns cannot be effectively addressed while a patient experiences severe pain.
– Evidence – 2 / 2
– Relevant
– “I’d say a 7. It hurts a lot, and the pain pills haven’t kicked in yet.” – Required Evidence
– Evidence Pro Tip: Tina reports intense pain and rates her pain on a numerical scale. She also reports characteristics of the pain, including its duration of one week; this timespan defines her pain as acute.
– Planning – 1 / 1
– Relevant
– Intervene – Prescribe: Prescribe medications to treat pain.
– Educate – Medication: Educate the patient on medications used for pain relief.
– Educate – Medication: Educate the patient on non-pharmaceutical methods to reduce pain intensity.
– Planning Pro Tip: Intervene to reduce the pain by prescribing an appropriate analgesic and educating the patient on its effective use and potential side effects. Provide the patient with options for non-pharmacological pain relief, such as RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation).
2. Local infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue of the foot – 4 of 4 points
3. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus – 4 of 4 points
4. Asthma – 4 of 4 points
– Priority – 1 / 1
– Student Response: Low
– Correct Priority: Low
– Priority Pro Tip: Although Tina requires education to better manage her asthma, she does not report active respiratory complaints, making this a lower priority diagnosis.
– Evidence – 2 / 2
– Relevant
– “Um, the only things I know I’m diagnosed with are diabetes. And asthma.” – Required Evidence
– “It’s really rare for me to have an attack now. Three days ago I had some breathing problems, but I guess probably my last full attack was in high school.” – Required Evidence
– Evidence Pro Tip: Tina reports a personal history of asthma, including past hospitalizations for asthma attacks, as well as her use of an albuterol inhaler. Her sibling’s asthma is of interest, given the strong genetic and environmental factors in the development of asthma.
– Planning – 1 / 1
– Relevant
– Assess – Respiratory: Assess lung sounds with auscultation.
– Assess – Respiratory: Assess pulmonary function using spirometry.
– Assess – Respiratory: Assess respirations (rate, rhythm, depth, quality).
– Educate – Health Maintenance: Educate the patient on avoiding triggers of asthma.
– Educate – Health Maintenance: Educate the patient on enacting her asthma action plan, including proper use of a rescue inhaler.
– Planning Pro Tip: Because Tina does not report treatment for maintenance of her asthma, instead relying on a rescue inhaler for sporadic attacks, educate her on developing and enacting a proactive plan to manage the disease. Though Tina does not report an active respiratory complaint, it is valuable to assess for abnormal findings that she may not report.
5. Dysmenorrhea – 4 of 4 points
6. Hypertension – 4 of 4 points
7. Menorrhagia – 4 of 4 points
8. Obesity – 4 of 4 points

– Priority – 1 / 1
– Student Response: Low
– Correct Priority: Low
– Priority Pro Tip: Oligomenorrhea is an irregular menstrual cycle that can result from a range of causes, many of which are not immediately life-threatening. Therefore, this is a lower priority diagnosis.
– Evidence – 2 / 2
– Relevant
– “My periods have been kinda weird too, but they’ve always been all over the place, so it’s no big deal.” – Required Evidence
– Evidence Pro Tip: Tina reports an irregular menstrual cycle, suggesting oligomenorrhea, which can result from a variety of causes including polycystic ovary syndrome and hormonal imbalances.

– Relevant
– Assess – Reproductive: Assess the patient’s menstrual history.
– Educate – Reproductive: Educate the patient on normal menstrual patterns and the potential impact of oligomenorrhea.

Hey.
|
||
What is your name?
|
Question |
|
Tina Jones.
|
||
why are you here today?
|
Question |
|
I got this scrape on my foot a while ago, and I thought it would heal up on its own, but now it’s looking pretty nasty. And the pain is killing me!
|
||
Am sorry to hear that
|
Empathize |
|
I appreciate you telling me that.
|
||
When did you get the scrape?
|
Question |
|
Well, I got the scrape a week ago, but the scrape and the pain got a lot worse in the last few days.
|
||
How severe is the pain?
|
Question |
|
It’s really bad.

Can you describe the pain?

It’s throbbing and like, sharp if I try to put weight on it.
|
||
Did you hurt any other part? (Clarified to Did you hurt anything else during the fall?.)
|
Question |
|
Well, at first I thought my ankle was sprained because it hurt a lot right after I fell. But, I mean, I guess I was over-estimating it, because the ankle felt pretty okay the next day and it wasn’t a problem all week. (Clarified to if I hurt anything else during the fall.)
|
||
How has the pain changed over time?
|
Question |
|
At first, it seemed like it was healing up fine and it didn’t give me a lot of pain. But the last two days, the pain got way worse.

Does the pain radiate anywhere else?
|
Question |
|
The pain’s worse in my foot, but I feel it moving up into my ankle, too.
|
||
How did you hurt your ankle?
|
Question |

I was going down the back steps, and I tripped. . . I caught the railing, but I guess I kind of turned my ankle a little bit. And I scraped up my foot on the edge of the step.

|
Question |

No, I can’t put weight on my foot without really sharp pain.

|
||
Can you tell me where the pain is located?
