1. Mucomyst - decreases viscocity of mucus
- requires suctioning
- antidote for tylenol
2. Theophylline - bronchodilator
- avoid foods that are CNS stimulants (coffee)
3. Gentamicin - antibiotics
- nephro, oto, neurotoxic
4. Procrit epogen - stimulates rbc production
- for renal failure and chemo
- self administration may be needed
- SUBQ
5. Pyridium - turns urine orange
- provides topical analgesic for UTI pain
- only to use for two days
6. Fentanyl - opioid agonists
- can cause CNS depression
- pinpoint pupils, hypostatic ortho, decreased RR
7. Burns can cause what hypothermia due to heat loss
in the body tempera-
ture
8. Why are burns a prob- because they struggle with thermoregulation
lem for the elderly

- mild pain and redness

- lacks pain and has eschar
13. Smoke inhalation S/S - dyspnea
and treatment - cough
- restlessness
- sooty sputum
- non-rebreather at 10-15 L O2
14. Emergent phase - IV LR resuscitation
(24-48) - respiratory failure assessment
- keep patient warm
- do not dangle extremities because of compartment syndrome
- use rule of nines
- poor urine output shows IV not effective
15. Complications of - hypovolemic shock - untreated fluid shift
emergent phase - renal failure
- hyperkalemia
