Correct Answers Latest 2024/2025 |
Graded A+.
Glycopyrrolate - (ANSWER)- Induction and intubation medication
- Can cause photosensitivity
Craniotomy Treatment (triple H's) - (ANSWER)- hemodilution
- hypertension
- hypervolemia
(this forces constricted blood vessels to dilate and perfuse tissue)
Transverse Colostomy - (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 - (ANSWER)- formed stool
ileosotomy - (ANSWER)- high up
- liquid pasty stool
,2
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass - (ANSWER)Small pouch created from stomach
Part of small intestine (DUODENUM) bypassed
Restriction and malabsorption
Post-op Stroke symptoms - (ANSWER)- double vision
- headache
- sudden dizziness
Metoclopramide (Reglan) - (ANSWER)- controls post-op NV
- can have extrapyrmidal side effects like tardive dyskinesia
Gastrectomy Interventions - (ANSWER)- encourage deep breaths

(over warm blankets)
Septic Shock/ Early Respiratory Distress - (ANSWER)- Hyperventilation
- Respiratory Alkalosis
- Elevated Lactate Levels
Interscalene nerve block - (ANSWER)anesthetizes the brachial plexus as it passes
through the scalene triangle. It is used to provide anethesia for the shoulder and
upper arm. Nearly all patients will devleop transeint ipsilateral diaphragmatic
parylasis due to involvment of the phrenic nerve roots as tehy pass through the
interscalene sheath.
Complication of rapid warming - (ANSWER)Hypotension (rapid vasodilation can
cause a drop in blood pressure)
Hetastarch (Hespan) - (ANSWER)- Volume expander, colloid
- less expensive than blood
