A ____ is a major cause of death during & immediately
following a surgical procedure that can result from blood
pooling in low pressure areas
pulmonary embolism
Rational: PE can be caused by blood clots or other debris
like fat. Debris blocks the pulmonary artery or one of the
branches. A PE is most often caused by stasis of blood in
deep veins during extended proceedures.
in the absence of a sterile transfer device when dispensing
medication to the sterile field, the best option is to
have the RN circulator draw up the medication in syringe &
transfer
Rational: The best option is to use a sterile transfer device. If
one is not available, the next best option is for the RN
circulator to draw up the medication in a syringe and
remove the needle prior to dispensing on the field
,most medication errors in pediatric care occur because this
pt population varies dramatically in
weight
Rational: pediatric medication administration is based on
the pt weight. An accurate wt measurement upon admission
in both pounds and kg is an essential part of preventing
medication errors.
determining whether re-anastomosis is possible after a low
anterior resection of the sigmoid colon depends on

Rational: the ability to reestablish continuity of the
proximal sigmoid colon and the rectum is contingent on
whether the distal rectal margin is cancer free and if there
is sufficient length of the bowel to vreate a tension- free
anastomosis
,what is the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)

should be checked 1st to determine whether cycle
parameters have been met. Physical monitors can provide a
rapid means of identification of sterilizer failure. Subsequent
actions are based on whether the reason for the failure is
due to operator or sterilizer causes
, using ___ after high level disinfection of flexible endoscopes
may help dry the lumen to prevent microorganisms from
multiplying
70-90% ethyl alcohol
Rational: flushing w/70-90% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol
should be determined by the interdisciplinary team at the
organization. Flushing with alcohol may not be necessary if
the flexible endoscope is dried properly
pt is scheduled for burr holes to remove fluid accumulated
secondary to blunt head trauma. The best option for a drain
that removes cerebral spinal fluid while monitoring
intracranial pressure is a
ventriculostomy
Rational: A ventriculostomy provides the most accurate
method of monitoring intracranial pressure while providing
the ability to drain cerebrospinal fluid

open
appendectomy
