highly contagious conditions
follow airborne and contact precautions
,abdominal exam: palpation
Give this one a try later!
palpate clockwise in all quadrants
begin with light palpation and proceed to deeper palpation
observe facial expression
observe voluntary/involuntary guarding
recognize factors that link health care worker injury and unsafe patient handling and
movement

Nurses get hurt :
- You are always lifting, moving and turning patients. This makes you and
your muscles tired. When your muscles are tired, you can hurt yourself
- Patient can't be lifted like boxes, so safe lifting "rules" don't apply
what makes patients risk:
Patient's can't be held close to the body
Patents are bulky
Patients have no handles
You can't predict what will happen while you're taking care of a patient
You never know if a patient can help you or not
nurses are at risk:
- Amount of weight manually handled by workers in other industries is
limited to 35 lbs
, - Frequency
- Force
- Position
- Duration
vital signs : respirations (interpretation

In adults, 12-20 breaths/minutes
Tachypnea (>20, shallow)
Bradypnea (<12, regular depth)
Apnea (not breathing) - period of intermediate apnea
Note quality of respirations
Unlabored, quiet, effortless
Labored, shallow, deep, gasping, painful
Note rhythm

, Strengthens muscles
Increases endurance
Increases lung capacity
Decreases pulse and blood pressure
Decreases risk of atherosclerosis
Prevents constipation
Stimulates appetite
Improves sleep quality
isotonic exercise - more aerobic exercise, no change in tension but there is
lengthening ( yoga)
isokinetic -
using some sort of resistance (weight, devices, bands)
tension changes
isometric
muscles not shortening or changing length... tensing (trying to squeeze leg
even though it's in a cast. contract and relax. keeps muscles moving
