Questions and CORRECT Answers
Glycopyrrolate - Correct Answer- - Induction and intubation medication
- Can cause photosensitivity
Craniotomy Treatment (triple H's) - Correct Answer- - hemodilution
- hypertension
- hypervolemia
(this forces constricted blood vessels to dilate and perfuse tissue)
Transverse Colostomy - Correct Answer- soft stool
typical stool odor
stool damages the skin
empties several times per day
may or may not be at risk for fluid/electrolytes imbalances
may irrigate
sigmoid colostomy - Correct Answer- - formed stool
ileosotomy - Correct Answer- - high up
- liquid pasty stool
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass - Correct Answer- Small pouch created from stomach
Part of small intestine (DUODENUM) bypassed
