NSG 123 Med-Surg Exam Herzing University Medical-Surgical Nursing I Assessment 2025 Edition

The NSG 123 Med-Surg Exam at Herzing University is a series of assessments (Exams 1–3 and Final) within the Medical-Surgical Nursing I course, part of the BSN curriculum, designed to evaluate foundational knowledge in adult health care for aspiring RNs. This multiple-choice and select-all-that-apply format (50–100 questions per exam) covers perioperative phases (pre-op verification like "right patient, right site," intra-op roles as scrub/circulating nurse, post-op PACU monitoring), fluid/electrolyte balance, respiratory decline indicators (e.g., wheezing, tachycardia, accessory muscle use), and infection prevention. Aligned with NCLEX-RN blueprints, it emphasizes evidence-based practice, patient safety, and clinical judgment in scenarios like hand-off communication, surgical timeouts, and managing IV fluids. A 75–80% pass rate is required for progression; remediation uses rationales for topics like glaucoma risks or psoriasis pathophysiology. Preparation includes Studocu notes, Stuvia test banks (verified 2024/2025 answers), and Quizlet flashcards; students report 85%+ scores after 20–30 hours of review. Delivered via Herzing's online platform, it's essential for med-surg rotations in acute care settings.
