2026/2027
◍ What medication is administered to treat malignant hyperthermia?
Answer:Dantrolene.
◍ How can nurses maintain the optimal temperature of a client during
surgery? Answer:By using warming blankets, warmed IV fluids, and
monitoring core temperature.
◍ What should nurses do if a client's temperature exceeds 104°F in
the PACU? Answer:Intervene immediately and assess for signs of
hypermetabolism.
◍ What preoperative care should be provided regarding malignant
hyperthermia? Answer:Screen for family history of MH, assess risk
factors, and educate on post-op temperature monitoring.
◍ What postoperative care should be provided in the PACU?
Answer:Continue to assess temperature every 15 minutes.
◍ What are the early signs of malignant hyperthermia that patients
should be educated about? Answer:Muscle cramps, dark urine, or
fever.
,◍ What should be monitored to prevent complications related to
hypothermia in the OR? Answer:Monitor temperature continuously
and use warming devices correctly.
◍ What is the risk associated with cold temperatures in the OR?
Answer:Hypothermia (temperature < 36°C) can lead to delayed
healing and cardiac events.
◍ How should a nurse manage a client with impaired
ventilation/oxygenation who is hypothermic? Answer:Warm them up,
provide oxygen, and closely monitor their breathing.
◍ What preoperative care should be provided to patients at risk for
hypothermia? Answer:Pre-warm patients, especially older adults or
those undergoing long surgeries.
◍ What should be done if a patient shows cold, clammy skin and
decreased temperature? Answer:Intervene early and consider lab tests
if hypothermia persists.
◍ What is the purpose of using a PCA pump postoperatively?
Answer:To manage pain effectively through patient-controlled
analgesia.
,◍ What should nurses assess to evaluate a client's pain response?
Answer:Use a validated pain scale and reassess after administering
pain medication.
◍ What are the potential complications of unmanaged acute post-op
pain? Answer:Decreased mobility, increased risk of DVT, and
pulmonary issues.
◍ What is the importance of educating patients about pain control
expectations? Answer:Patients should understand that pain control
does not mean experiencing zero pain.
◍ What is a key nursing action to prevent aspiration in post-op
patients? Answer:Position patients laterally and ensure proper NPO
adherence.
◍ What should be monitored to ensure the effectiveness of pain
management? Answer:Level of consciousness (LOC) and sedation
levels.
◍ What interventions can help manage acute post-op pain?
Answer:Use multimodal analgesia, assess pain levels, and support
mobility.
◍ What should nurses do if they notice restlessness and shallow
breathing in a patient? Answer:Reassess pain management and
medicate as necessary.
, ◍ What is a common risk factor for peptic ulcer disease related to
surgery? Answer:Stress response and the risk of bleeding.
◍ How can nurses prevent complications related to low temperatures
during surgery? Answer:Apply the warming protocol according to
unit policy.
◍ What should be monitored if stress ulcer prophylaxis is ordered
post-operatively? Answer:Assess GI symptoms.
◍ Why is it important to maintain temperature in post-operative care?
Answer:To prevent shivering-induced stress that could trigger ulcers
or increase bleeding risk.
◍ What are the key aspects of managing a client with impaired
ventilation/oxygenation post-op? Answer:Monitor airway, breathing,
and circulation; act quickly with fluids, oxygen, and notify the
provider.
◍ What pre-operative assessments should be conducted regarding
ulcers? Answer:Assess for history of ulcers, NSAID use, and stress
level.
◍ What signs should be monitored for post-operative GI bleeding?
Answer:Look for dark emesis, increased heart rate, and decreased
blood pressure.
