AMREF Virtual Nursing School End of Module One Examination, Paper One: Critical Thinking, Intravenous Therapy and Nursing Assessment

The Paper One end-of-module-one examination for the September 2010 class, sat on Monday 7th March 2011. The statements to be judged cover critical thinking in action and the skills it needs, the ethical principles of nursing, what does not affect the flow of an intravenous infusion and what is not a complication of infusion therapy, the movement of a limb away from the midline, the monitoring a patient on heparin needs, the discomfort in breathing in all positions, the components of the communication process and what to disregard when writing a report. The nursing care items take the patient in skeletal traction, the assessment chosen for a stated nursing diagnosis, the question that elicits the reaction to a penicillin allergy and the bowel sounds of a post-operative patient.
