Exam 3 Review
-EEG: test for seizures
-Duragesic patch: change patch every 72 hours
-Prostate cancer testing: PSA test (Prostate-specific antigen) and DRE (digital
rectal exam) at 50 years old
-Polyps can turn malignant
-Seizure: give Ativan FIRST
-Acute kidney injury: risk for electrolyte/fluid imbalance
-Serum phenytoin: 10-21 is therapeutic
-Scopolamine patch after 3 days (72 hours) switch patch new patch to opposite side
-Prostate cancer: assess gait and balance
-Ask patient about ibuprofen/naproxen if creatinine and BUN labs are increased

back up/buildup of urine)

(probably a select all)
-Urinary calculus: Drink fluids, finish antibiotics and bruise is normal (probably a
select all)
-IVP (intravenous pyelogram: x-ray exam using contrast to evaluate kidneys,
ureters and bladder): ask about shellfish/penicillin allergy
-Proscar adverse effect: loss of erection, gynecomastia, ejaculation dysfunction
(probably a select all)
-ECG changes: check potassium level
