NEW!!!NEW!!!
SCI Complications - ANS✔✔---absent reflexes,
... [Show More] paralytic ileus, hypotension
Paralytic ileus - ANS✔✔---complete absence of peristaltic movement that may follow
abdominal surgery or complete bowel obstruction
Pancreatitis meds - ANS✔✔---H2 receptors- ranitidine (zantac) and Proton pump
inhibitors (PPI)- pantoprazole----these treat the acid
TB diagnosis - ANS✔✔---15 mm or greater wheal
TB Treatment - ANS✔✔---Multiple meds, 6-12 months, compliance is key!
Urolithiasis Risk Factors - ANS✔✔---hypercalcemia (above 10), autonomical
abnormalities (an obstruction), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), family history
TB Precautions - ANS✔✔---negative airflow, mask/N95, respiratory protection! If
splashing or spraying is possible wear a face mask
CD4 counts - ANS✔✔---<200= aids, <500 HIV
Chronic Kidney Disease- ABG - ANS✔✔---Metabolic acidosis- low pH, low bi-carb
Hemophilia A Treatment - ANS✔✔---Recombinant forms of factor VIII and X
concentrates. These can be prophylactic as a preventative measure before traumatic
procedures (lumbar puncture, dental extraction, surgery).
Addisons Disease S/S - ANS✔✔---muscle weakness, anorexia, GI symptoms(N/V,
abdominal pain), fatigue, dark pigmentation of skin and mucous membranes (knees,
elbows and knuckles), hypotension, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia,
lethargy, menstrual changes, hypercalcemia, increased WBC
EKG with Hyperkalemia - ANS✔✔---Peaked T waves, widened QRS complexes
Why use aspirin post MI - ANS✔✔---anti-platelet aggregation
(prevents clot formation)
Emphysema S/S - ANS✔✔---club fingers, barrel chest, dyspnea, cough, weight loss,
use of accessory muscles, distended neck veins
Chvostek- indication of? - ANS✔✔---hypocalcemia
Chvotek - ANS✔✔---twitching of muscles enervated by the facial nerve when the
region 2 cm anterior to the earlobe is tapped
Trousseau- indication of? - ANS✔✔---hypocalcemia
Brudinski indicates? - ANS✔✔---meningitis
Brudinski - ANS✔✔---positive when the neck is flexed (after ruling out cervical
trauma/injury), flexion of the knees and hips is produced; when the lower extremity of
one side is passively flexed, a similiar motion is seen in opposite extremity. This is a
better indicator than Kernigs
Kernigs indicates? - ANS✔✔---meningitis
Kernigs - ANS✔✔---positive when the patient is lying witht he thigh flexed on the
abdomen, the leg cannot be completely extended. When this is bilateral, meningeal
irritation is suspected
Trousseau - ANS✔✔---inflate BP cuff on the upper arm about 20 mm Hg above
systolic pressure; within 2-5 minutes, carpal spasm (adducted thumb, flexed wrist,
metacarpophalangeal joints, extended interphalangeal joints with fingers together) will
occur as ischemia of the ulnar nerve develops
What type of insulin is used to treat DKA? - ANS✔✔---regular insulin via IV
Myesthenia Gravis - ANS✔✔---diplopia (double vision), ptosis (drooping of eyelids),
weakness of face muscles (bland expressions), weakness of throat muscles (bulbar
symptoms), generalized weakness- affecting all extremities and the intercostal muscles,
resulting in decreased vital capacity and respiratory failure.
Myesthenia Gravis - ANS✔✔---Dysphonia (voice impairment) and dysphagia- both
puts pt at risk for aspiration and choking. Motor disorder with no effect on sensation or
coordination
Neuropathy S/S - ANS✔✔---numbness, tingling and loss of sensation
Cushings - ANS✔✔---risk for injury and infection. Hyperglycemia (check blood
glucose often), Hypernatremia- low sodium diet, Fluid volume status overload- jugular
vein distention, daily weights, I/O, may look like congestive heart failure
Lab for renal function - ANS✔✔---CREATININE (wnl- 0.6-1.1) is most important, BUN
(wnl- 10-20)
Purpose of JP drain - ANS✔✔---to prevent collection of fluid underneath incision site
(infection prevention) [Show Less]
