High pressure alarms in ventilators are triggered when? - ANS-increase resistance to air
flow.(in other words the machine is having to push too hard to get the air pushed into
the lung) when this happens the machine will go off.
High pressure alarms are caused by what three types of obstructions? - ANS-Kinking,

in high pressure alarm If kinking in the tube is present you would? - ANS-Unkink
,in high pressure alarm. If water is condensing in the dependent loops, you would? -
ANS-Open system and empty water.
in high pressure alarm, If mucus secretion is present you would? - ANS-Turn them,
cough and have them deep breath first. If ineffective you then suction.
Low pressure alarms are triggered when? - ANS-Decreased resistance to airflow. (It is
to easy to push air in)
Low pressure alarms are normally caused by? - ANS-Disconnection
In Low pressure alarms, If the tubing is disconnected you would? - ANS-Reconnect

Why is manipulation easier to treat then dependency/codependency? - ANS-Because
no one likes being manipulated.
What is Wernickes (Korsakoffs) Syndrome?
(wernickes is a encephalopathy and Korsakoffs is a pyschosis but they tend to go

(making up stories and they believe it ).
When a person has Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome, And they talk crazy how do you
approch them - ANS-You redirect patients and dont present reality(because presenting
reality is for pts who can learn it. and these people cannot learn it)
Is Wernickes preventable? how - ANS-Yes; Take vitamin B1-because B1 helps
breakdown alcohol
Is Wernickes arrestable(stop from getting worse)? - ANS-Yes by taking B1
Is Wernickes reversible? - ANS-No

Revia(Naltrexone)
Disulfiram and Naltrexone is what type of Therapy? - ANS-Aversion Therapy
, What is aversion therapy? - ANS-When you try and make the patient do something and
they have a gut hatred for that particular thing. In this case it will be alcohol-MAKES
YOU DEATHLY ILL
Disulfiram onset and duration is? - ANS-2 weeks- so they have to be ON the drug for 2
wks for it work and they have to be OFF the drug before they can safely drink again and
not get sick-2wks
Teach a patient taking Antabuse to avoid what? - ANS-ALL forms of alcohol-to avoid
N/V and possibly death
On top of alcohol a patient taking Antabuse should also avoid what other 7 things? -
ANS-any over the counter that ends in-Elixirs, Aftershave/Perfumes, Alcohol based
