Aspiration precautions for gI patient - ANS-elevate hob 30-45 degrees
-consider post-pyloric placement of feeding tube if residuals continue to be
above 500 mL
-Consider prokinetics to promote gastric emptying (such as erythromycin,
metoclopramide, or naloxone) after three consecutive residuals > 500 mL
Assessing for GI bleed - ANScoffee ground drainage in suction container

elevated in what conditions? - ANSMI
pericarditis
myocarditis
1
,not so much elevated in congestive heart failure
CAUTI prevention measures - ANS-frequently assess need for catheter
-prevent dependent loops
-always assure that bag is less than half full
-perform peri care every shift
