-ensure bed is in correct position
-ensure weights do not touch floor
Halo: ensure wrench is readily available
6.surgical intervention for scoliosis: -realign (2 rods on either side of spine)

7.The child is prescribed lanoxin (Digoxin) 75 mcg PO qd. The pharmacy supplies lanoxin (Digoxin) 0.05mg scored tablets. How many tablets will the nurse administer? Record your answer using one decimal place.: 1.5 tablets .The physician orders the patient a 10-mL/kg normal saline bolus to

-Monitor for improvement in symptoms
11.Cromolyn (Intal) and nedocomil (Tilade): -Anti-inflammatory agents
that inhibit release of histamine, leukotrienes,
-Prevention or maintenance drugs

-Side effects: cough, headache, throat irritation, GI upset
12.Long acting beta-adrenergics: -Salmeterol (Serevent) -used twice daily
-Added to anti-inflammatory therapy
-Not for acute symptoms due to onset of action in 20 minutes with peak
in 3-4 hours
