What is a sign of malignant hyperthermia that nurses must identify intraoperatively? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Early signs include increased CO₂, muscle rigidity, and increased temperature.
What should be done for a patient showing signs of hypothermia? - CORRECT ANSWER-Intervene
early if cold skin, bradycardia, and confusion are present.
What are the complications associated with unmanaged pain postoperatively? - CORRECT ANSWER-
DVT and pneumonia.
What precautions should be taken to prevent complications in postoperative care? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Verify site markings, apply fall precautions, and prevent sharps injuries.
What is the purpose of DVT prophylaxis in postoperative care? - CORRECT ANSWER-To prevent deep
vein thrombosis.
What should be included in the preoperative checklist? - CORRECT ANSWER-Prevent wrong-site
surgery, aspiration, or medication interactions.
What is the role of respiratory therapy in ARDS management? - CORRECT ANSWER-Refer for
respiratory therapy and nutritional support, and obtain orders for prone positioning, sedation, or
neuromuscular blockers.
,How should the effectiveness of treatment for ARDS be evaluated? - CORRECT ANSWER-Review
ABGs, CXR, and compliance with interventions such as proning or mechanical ventilation.
What is the significance of maintaining normothermia in wound healing? - CORRECT ANSWER-It
supports tissue perfusion and healing.
What should be done if there are signs of dehiscence or evisceration? - CORRECT ANSWER-Call the
provider immediately.
What is the importance of monitoring devices like VAC and drains? - CORRECT ANSWER-Measure
output and ensure suction is working.
What should be done if rising anxiety or misunderstanding is observed preoperatively? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Stop and clarify before surgery proceeds.
What are the stages of ARDS and their related changes in gas exchange? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Exudative, proliferative, and fibrotic stages, each affecting gas exchange differently.
How should oxygenation be maintained in ARDS management? - CORRECT ANSWER-Use low tidal
volume ventilation, frequent assessments, and PEEP.
What should be monitored in clients on ventilators? - CORRECT ANSWER-Ensure ventilator
synchrony, follow sedation protocols, and monitor for VAP and barotrauma.
What should be monitored if chest tubes are in place? - CORRECT ANSWER-Monitor drainage, air
leaks, and the dressing site.
What focused assessments should be performed in ARDS management? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Monitor breath sounds, ABGs, SpO₂, and work of breathing regularly.
What complications should be recognized and intervened upon in ARDS? - CORRECT ANSWER-Watch
for signs of barotrauma, VAP, oxygen toxicity, and ventilator dyssynchrony.
What trends and changes should be recognized in ARDS patients? - CORRECT ANSWER-Trend ABG
deterioration, escalating oxygen needs, or decreased lung compliance.
, What is a hallmark of refractory hypoxemia? - CORRECT ANSWER-Oxygen does not help.
What are some injury/complication prevention strategies in ARDS management? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Use sterile suction technique, maintain HOB elevation, and apply infection precautions.
What should be assessed for referrals in chest tube management? - CORRECT ANSWER-Consult
provider for placement and collaborate with respiratory therapy as needed.
How should client response to medication be evaluated in chest tube management? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Monitor pain control, evaluate reduced dyspnea, and check re-expansion on imaging.
What indicates treatment effectiveness in chest tube management? - CORRECT ANSWER-Assess lung
re-expansion and drainage output.
How do pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusion disrupt lung inflation? - CORRECT ANSWER-
They create pressure imbalances that hinder lung expansion.
How should impaired ventilation/oxygenation be managed with chest tubes? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Ensure chest drainage supports lung re-expansion and improves oxygenation.
What should be monitored in ventilated patients with chest drainage? - CORRECT ANSWER-Monitor
interaction with chest drainage and pressures.
What maintenance is required for chest tube devices? - CORRECT ANSWER-Ensure the tube is
patent, suction settings are correct, and there are no kinks or dislodgement.
What drainage volume indicates a need to notify the provider? - CORRECT ANSWER-If drainage is
greater than 150 mL/hour.
What focused assessments should be performed with chest tubes? - CORRECT ANSWER-Auscultate
breath sounds, palpate for subcutaneous emphysema, and assess the tube site.
What complications should be recognized in chest tube management? - CORRECT ANSWER-Tension
pneumothorax, infection, and tube displacement.
