CCRN Test 02: Clinical Judgment & Professional Practice

CCRN Test 02: Essential Nursing Knowledge

This exam reviews heart valve leaks, sepsis markers, and brain swelling.

Sepsis Alert: Older sepsis rules (SIRS) looked for high fever or fast breathing. Newer rules focus on blood pressure and brain status.
Privacy Law: HIPAA is all about keeping patient secrets safe. This is called patient confidentiality.
Heart Sounds: A machine-like sound in an infant often means they have a PDA (a heart pipe that did not close).

Test 02 Key Study Points

1. Mitral Flow If the mitral valve leaks, blood goes backward into the left atrium instead of forward to the body.
2. Delirium vs. Dementia Delirium happens fast and changes throughout the day. Dementia is a slow, permanent decline.
3. Pancreas Pain For people who do not drink alcohol, gallstones are the top cause of a swollen pancreas.
4. The Substitution Test This test asks: "Would 3 other nurses with the same training have made the same choice?"
