NUR1023C Exam 2 (Class 2 - term 1)
Abdominal assessment - Hyperactive bowel sounds - ANS-loud, excessive-pitched,
speeding (commonplace with diarrhea or inflammatory disorders)
Abdominal assessment - Hypoactive bowel sounds - ANS-Slow, gradual, occurrence of less
than five sounds according to minute
Abdominal assessment - Normal bowel sounds - ANS-Irregular, high-pitched, gurgling (every
five-15 seconds)
ADH - ANS-Makes kidneys maintain H2O
AFebrile - ANS-No fever
Albumin - ANS-A protein within the blood (continues fluid in the blood)
Aldosterone - ANS-Makes kidneys retain Na+ and H2O
Anuria - ANS-Failure of the kidneys to provide or excrete urine (absence of urine)
Assessing bowel sounds - ANS-*Start in backside right quadrant listen for 1-2 mins, if no
sounds heard listen for 5 mins move round on this order - LRQ, URQ, ULQ, LLQ
*decreased bowel sounds not unusual after surgical treatment
*Absence of sounds can be a signal of obstruction or paralytic ileus
Benefits of increasing fiber in weight-reduction plan - ANS-•Prevents constipation through
giving stool bulk
•Normalization of bowel motion
•Maintenance of bowel integrity and health
•Lowering blood cholesterol levels
•Helping manipulate blood sugar ranges
•Aiding weight reduction
•Potentially supporting to save you colorectal most cancers
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) - Lower - ANS-*Low Protein diet
* Malnutrition
* Liver harm
*Excessive amounts of liquids
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) - Normal values - ANS-7 to 20 mg/dL
Bowel Elimination - Methods of collection - ANS-*Does now not need to be heat
*Take from specific parts of the stool
*15-30mL if liquid
, *1 inch if it's far hard, special parts of the stool
*stool field does now not must be steril
Bowel Elimination - Stool specimens - ANS-*Check at specific instances for occult blood -
should bleed at one-of-a-kind instances
*When checking for parasites stool should be warm
Bowel movement thru GI - ANS-Mouth --> Esophagus --> belly (Broken down and combined
with digestive juices - Chyme) --> Small intestines (Nutrients are absorbed and digested) -->
Large intestines - Colon (Water and salts are absorbed inflicting waste products to come to
be more impregnable and change into stool) --> Rectum --> Anus
buccal management (against the cheek) - ANS-• Used for soaking up small quantities of
medicine fast through the oral mucosa
• Prevents destruction of the medicine with the aid of gastric or intestinal secretions
• Buccal - antiemetics and opiate ache medications
Characteristics of loose stool - ANS-Losing fluids and electrolytes - results in fatigue and
weak spot
Characteristics of stool with bleeding gastric ulcer or rectal bleeding - ANS-higher GI
bleeding - black, tar-like stools known as melena
lower GI bleeding - can be vivid pink blood
-occult blood
Chvostek sign - ANS-Spasm of the facial muscle after tapping at the facial nerve
*Hypocalcemia and hydration (neurologic)
Colonoscopy - ANS-A procedure achieved to visualize inflamed tissue, ulcers, and peculiar
growths within the anus, rectum, and colon.
Colonoscopy - Preparation - ANS-• Perform bowel preparation to drain solids from the GI
tract through following a clean liquid eating regimen for 1-3 days
• Should no longer drink beverages containing crimson or purple dye
• A laxative or an enema may be required the night before the colonoscopy
• Patient need to inform PCP of all medicinal drugs, anticoagulants, diabetes meds., and
nutrients containing iron.
• Usually are on NPO reputation for several hours before the manner
Computed Tomography (CT) - ANS-- A radiologic procedure in which the usage of unique
scanner lets in move-sectional photos of an organ to be visualized
Computed tomography (CT) - makes use of - ANS-To diagnose kidney stones, bladder
stones, or blockages of the urinary tract
Computed tomography (CT) experiment - with and without assessment makes use of/ability
reaction - ANS-*With or with out comparison
*Cannot be allergic to iodine/shellfish
Abdominal assessment - Hyperactive bowel sounds - ANS-loud, excessive-pitched,
