ANSWER-✔Monitor for aspiration
Monitor vital signs
Assess for respiratory distress
Assess swallowing
Assess range of motion
Assess level of consciousness
\Q\.How do you take care of an infant with GERD? - ANSWER-✔Elevate head
while feeding Keep baby sitting up
Do not occlude airway
Tummy time
\Q\.What complications could develop from GERD in an adult? - ANSWER-
✔Barrett's esophagus Dyspepsia (indigestion)
Regurgitation (may lead to aspiration or bronchitis)
,Water brash (hypersalivation)
Dental caries (severe cases)
Dysphagia
Odynopagia (painful swallowing)
Globus (feeling of something in back of throat)
Pharyngitis
Coughing, hoarseness, or wheezing at night
Chest pain
Pyrosis (heart burn)
Epigastric pain
Generalized abdominal pain
Belching
Flatulence

\Q\.Thiazide diuretics - ANSWER-✔Decrease potassium and magnesium, absorb
calcium Hydrochlorothiazide
\Q\.Loop Diuretics - ANSWER-✔Non potassium-sparing
Think Lasix "L" for Loop= non-potassium sparing
Furosemide, bumetanide, torsemide
,\Q\.Osmotic dieuretics - ANSWER-✔Filtered at glomerulus; increasing the
osmolarity of the glomerular filtrate thereby attenuating the tubular reabsorption
of water; effects the entire tubule
must be administered as an i.v. infusion; does not cross the GI tract or BBB
Mannitol
Urea
Glycerin
Isosorbide
\Q\.How do you measure the effectiveness of diuretics? - ANSWER-✔Check renal
function Daily weights
\Q\.What is insensible water loss? - ANSWER-✔Water loss that cannot be
measured
Skin, lungs, stool
\Q\.What is the Chovstek sign and Trousseau sign? Who is at risk for them? -
ANSWER-✔1)
Chvostek sign --> Tapping on facial nerve elicits twitching of nose and lips
2) Trousseau sign --> Inflation of blood pressure cuff leads to carpal spams
, 3) Alcoholics are at risk due to low potassium and magnesium
\Q\.How do you prevent CAUTI? - ANSWER-✔Bag below bladder
No dependent loops/kinks
Don't allow bag to touch floor
Don't break closed system
Perform peri/cath care daily
