1. The causes of burns include:
extreme heat, chemicals, radiation, electricity, hot liquids, and strong chemicals
2. The urinary system is responsible for...
cleansing the blood of waste products, regulating the normal balance of water and
electrolytes, and storing and excreting urine.
3. When should you medicate a client before ambulating
15 mins prior
4. What type of burn involves damage to the dermis?
second degree/deep partial thickness/superficial partial thickness
5. What is shearing?
Superficial layers of tissues are pulled and stretched. Rubbing and friction causes skin to
move one way and bone to stay.
6. Kidney's manufacture how much urine in 24 hours
1-1.5ml
7. What is the capacity of the bladder?
1,000-1,800ml
8. Ureter anatomy
Small tube about 25cm long; is carried urine from the renal pelvis to the bladder
,9. Imaging procedures confirm and determine the severity of a...
fracture
10. Plaster cast care
the edges of the plaster cast tend to crumble, with bits of plaster dropping inside the
cast causing the patient discomfort and skin irritation. This can be prevented by covering
the rims of the cast with stockinette or applying tape in a "petal" fashion
11. Plaster cast teaching
hold the limb with the palm of your hand while the cast is damp. use the palms of your
hands on the flat surface of the extended fingers when touching the plaster cast because
fingertips can sink into the damp plaster cast and make impressions through the cast
that rub against the skin causing pressure sores
12. The causes for most auto immune disease are known
false
13. What type of burn results in complete skin loss, including the underlying fat layer?
third degree/full thickness
14. What is the diet for a patient with burns?
protein, water, vitamin C and zinc
15. What is used to estimate the amount of the body that is burned?
rule of nine
16. What does ABC stand for?
airway, breathing, circulation
, 17. What is the proper PPE to use for MRSA?
mask, gown, and gloves
18. The tearing of ligaments that occurs at a joint is called...
sprain
19. The semi-Fowler's position is what degree
30-60
20. Post-op client teaching/interventions
set a schedule for vital signs, I&O measurement, directions for repositioning, coughing
and deep-breathing
21. What is the prone position?
lying face down
22. What do we use to prioritize care?
ABC
23. What is the knee-chest position?
patient puts butt in the air while on their knees and head between the arms. (like child’s
pose)
24. What is the side-lying or lateral position?
lay on the side to relive bony prominences
25. What type of fluid do we use to clean eyes and ears?
tepid water
