status
if wound gets infected it may be red and hot
2. Hyperthermia temperature: Above 99.5
antipyretics, ice packs under armpits, take off layers of clothing
3. Hypothermia temperature: Below 96.4 F
blankets
4. Normal body temperature: 98.6 F or 37 C
5. nursing interventions to decrease risk of pressure injury: positioning: pad - pad
hard surfaces with pressure redistribution properties
do not elevate - do not elevate head of bed greater than 30 degrees
suspend - suspend heels off the bed surface
6. nursing interventions to decrease risk of pressure injury: nutrition: encourage
protein intake at each meal
serve protein shakes between meals
7. nursing interventions to decrease risk of pressure injury: skin care: complete a
daily skin inspection
moisture dry skin with lotion
do not massage bony prominences
8. nursing interventions to decrease risk of pressure injury: skin cleaning: clean -
clean skin asap after soiling occurs
pat - pat skin dry
use - use tepid rather than hot water

11. HIV: CD4 and CD8: CD4 is decreased
CD8 is normal
12. AIDS: CD4 and CD8: CD4 is decreased
CD8 is increased
13. CD4 count less than 200 equals: AIDS
14. Antiretroviral drugs - combination drug therapy: HIV patients on it for life
It stops the virus from replicating
15. already have HIV and exposed again: progression to AIDS is faster
