2024-2025
What are the 5 SLO's? - Answer 1. Quality and Safety
2. Teamwork and Collaboration
3. Patient Centered Care
4. Informatics
5. Evidence Based Practice
Metamucil - Answer Bulk forming constipation medicine
Miralax - Answer osmotic, when a rapid cleansing is desired
The health continuum - Answer most people practice this. one end of the spectrum is
being healthy and one end is death or dying. Ever-changing system.
Nursing Care Plans - Answer Assessing (gathering info Verbal and nonverbal forms of
communication), Diagnosing (findings through written and spoken word with other HC
professionals), Planning (what you are going to do), Implementing (doing a plan of care
based on your diagnosis), Evaluating (did pt. meet their goal or did they not?)
Metabolic Acidosis - Answer Kidneys are used.
pH < 7.35; HCO3 <22-26
Metabolic Alkalosis - Answer kidneys are used; pH> 7.45; HCO3 >22-26
Respiratory Acidosis - Answer Lungs used; pH <7.35; CO2>35-45
Respiratory Alkalosis - Answer Lungs used; pH>7.45; CO2<35-45
Which Mask is the most precise? - Answer Venturi Mask
L/Min: Nasal Canula - Answer 1-6 L/min
L/Min: Simple Mask - Answer 6-8 L/min
L/Min: Partial Rebreather Mask - Answer 8-11 L/min
L/Min: Non-breather Mask - Answer 12 L/min; highest concentration of O2 delivery
L/Min: Venturi Mask - Answer 4-10 L/min; most precise
Hyperventilation - Answer a condition in which there is more than the normal amount of
air entering and leaving the lungs. Can use pursed lip breathing or use a bag so that
, they can bring some of the CO2 back into their body's to prevent respiratory alkalosis
Hypoventilation - Answer decreased rate or depth of air movement into the lungs
Range for Potassium - Answer 3.5-5.2 mEq/L
What is potassium's role in the body? - Answer controls intracellular osmolality,
regulates cellular enzyme activity, role in transmission of electrical impulses in nerve,
heart, skeletal, intestinal and lung tissue, helps with protein and carb metabolism,
regulation of acid-base balance by cellular exchange with hydrogen ions.
Hypokalemia - Answer low potassium, effects U wave, leg cramps, decreased bowel
sounds, decrease peristalsis, at risk for constipation, decreased deep tendon reflexes,
gets lost from diuretics, nausea, vomiting, gastric suction
Hyperkalemia - Answer high potassium, cardia arrest, weakness, increased bowel
sounds, increased peristalsis, renal failure, also increased by heparin, bp meds (ace
inhibitors), NSAIDS, more dangerous but less frequent than hypokalemia
Range of Sodium - Answer 135-145 mEq/L
What is sodium's role in the body? - Answer regulates ECF volume, role in muscle
contraction and transmission of nerve impulses, regulation of acid-base balance as
sodium bicarbonate.
Hyponatremia - Answer low sodium, confusion, very tired and lethargic, abnormal
craving for salt, if it gets too low can cause seizures or convulsions, caused by loss of
sodium through nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, profuse sweating or increase in water
hypernatremia - Answer high sodium, abnormal craving for water, decrease in LOC, if
too high can have seizures or convulsions, caused by increase in sodium intake, excess
loss of water, fluid deprivation, decreased fluid consumption, diarrhea, burn patients,
hyperventilation over extended period of time, brain damage can occur especially in
children
HPV puts you at risk for what? - Answer cervical cancer
Malpractice lawsuits are more _____ - Answer common law
Nurse Practice Act - Answer Statutory law developed by state legislature. Ohio Board of
Nursing handles the breaches of it
4 Things Necessary to Prove Malpractice - Answer 1. Duty
2. Breach of Duty
3. Causation
4. Damages
