Diagnostic & patient-monitoring role
Effective management of rapidly-changing situations
Administering/monitoring therapeutic interventions &
regimens
Monitoring/ensuring quality of healthcare practices
Organizational and work-role competencies
heat stroke symptoms and treatment -high body temp, -hot/dry skin,
-mental status change
rehydration and cooling
Mild hypothermia treatment remove wet clothes, external warming, warm liquids
moderate hypothermia active external and core rewarming
severe hypothermia Internal warming only skin is so fragile. rewarm with IV
solution.
risk of cardiac arrest
superficial frostbite treatment seek shelter, use body heat to rewarm
severe frostbite rapid rewarming in a water bath, pain control
what should you never do with frostbite? use dry heat or massage
principles of fluid balance -higher body fat and age means lower water %
-calculate I & O each shift
-1 L water = 2.2 lbs
difference between men and women for women have less water than men because they have a higher
water % percentage of fat. Men have more muscle and muscle cells
contain mostly water. (how does this effect men and women's
response to drugs?)
what is the "third space"? the interstitial fluid area. When a patient becomes very
edematous and water moves into the interstitial space due to
hydrostatic pressure and filtration
how is body fluid regulated & lost thirst, kidneys, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, atrial
natriuretic factor (this is made in your heart and senses when
there is a higher blood volume so it is released and you start
to get rid of fluid) , RAA system
kidneys, insensible, diarrhea, fistulas, drains
causes of dehydration insufficent intake, hemorrhage, vomiting/diarrhea, high drain
output, high urine output, sweating, burns, dysphagia
manifestations of dehydration hypotension, tachycardia, dry skin w/ poor turgor, thirst,
altered LOC, low fever, decreased urine, elevated specific
gravity
elevated lab values
how much does an adult drink on average 1500ml of fluid a day with an additional 800ml from the food
we eat
