Question 1.
What is a sign of malignant hyperthermia that nurses must identify intraoperatively?
Answer: Early signs include increased CO₂, muscle rigidity, and increased
temperature.
Question 2.
What medication is administered to treat malignant hyperthermia?
Answer: Dantrolene.
Question 3.
How can nurses maintain the optimal temperature of a client during surgery?
Answer: By using warming blankets, warmed IV fluids, and monitoring core
temperature.
Question 4.
What should nurses do if a client's temperature exceeds 104°F in the PACU?
Answer: Intervene immediately and assess for signs of hypermetabolism.
Question 5.
What preoperative care should be provided regarding malignant hyperthermia?
Answer: Screen for family history of MH, assess risk factors, and educate on
post-op temperature monitoring.
Question 6.
What postoperative care should be provided in the PACU?
Answer: Continue to assess temperature every 15 minutes.
• What are the early signs of malignant hyperthermia that patients should be
educated about? Answer: Muscle cramps, dark urine, or fever.
Question 7.
What should be monitored to prevent complications related to hypothermia in the OR?
Answer: Monitor temperature continuously and use warming devices
correctly.
,Question 8.
What is the risk associated with cold temperatures in the OR?
Answer: Hypothermia (temperature < 36°C) can lead to delayed healing and
cardiac events.
Question 9.
How should a nurse manage a client with impaired ventilation/oxygenation who is
hypothermic?
Answer: Warm them up, provide oxygen, and closely monitor their breathing.
Question 10.
What preoperative care should be provided to patients at risk for hypothermia?
Answer: Pre-warm patients, especially older adults or those undergoing long
surgeries.
Question 11.
What should be done if a patient shows cold, clammy skin and decreased temperature?
Answer: Intervene early and consider lab tests if hypothermia persists.
Question 12.
What is the purpose of using a PCA pump postoperatively?
Answer: To manage pain effectively through patient-controlled analgesia.
• What should nurses assess to evaluate a client's pain response? Answer: Use
a validated pain scale and reassess after administering pain medication.
Question 13.
What are the potential complications of unmanaged acute post-op pain?
Answer: Decreased mobility, increased risk of DVT, and pulmonary issues.
Question 14.
What is the importance of educating patients about pain control expectations?
Answer: Patients should understand that pain control does not mean
experiencing zero pain.
Question 15.
What is a key nursing action to prevent aspiration in post-op patients?
Answer: Position patients laterally and ensure proper NPO adherence.
, Question 16.
What should be monitored to ensure the effectiveness of pain management?
Answer: Level of consciousness (LOC) and sedation levels.
Question 17.
What interventions can help manage acute post-op pain?
Answer: Use multimodal analgesia, assess pain levels, and support mobility.
Question 18.
What should nurses do if they notice restlessness and shallow breathing in a patient?
Answer: Reassess pain management and medicate as necessary.
• What is a common risk factor for peptic ulcer disease related to surgery?
Answer: Stress response and the risk of bleeding.
Question 19.
How can nurses prevent complications related to low temperatures during surgery?
Answer: Apply the warming protocol according to unit policy.
Question 20.
What should be monitored if stress ulcer prophylaxis is ordered post- operatively?
Answer: Assess GI symptoms.
Question 21.
Why is it important to maintain temperature in post-operative care?
Answer: To prevent shivering-induced stress that could trigger ulcers or
increase bleeding risk.
Question 22.
What are the key aspects of managing a client with impaired ventilation/oxygenation
post-op?
Answer: Monitor airway, breathing, and circulation; act quickly with fluids,
oxygen, and notify the provider.
Question 23.
What pre-operative assessments should be conducted regarding ulcers?
Answer: Assess for history of ulcers, NSAID use, and stress level.
