WGU D444 Adult Health I (OA1) focuses on foundational adult medical-surgical nursing concepts, especially the recognition and management of common cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and fluid-electrolyte disorders. Key cardiovascular topics include hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and peripheral vascular disease, with emphasis on early signs of decreased cardiac output and priority interventions. Respiratory content covers asthma, COPD, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, oxygen therapy safety, and interpretation of hypoxia-related findings. Renal topics include acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, dialysis care, and major electrolyte imbalances such as hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, and hypercalcemia. The exam also emphasizes nursing assessment priorities, interpretation of lab values and vital signs, medication safety, patient education, and early recognition of complications requiring urgent intervention.
