heritage and a sense of belonging to a group
◉ Low-risk therapies: Answer: Include meditation, relaxation
techniques, imagery, music therapy, massage, touch, laughter, humor, &
spiritual measures (prayer).
◉ High risk of obesity & diabetes mellitus Answer: Because of their
health & dietary practices, Native Americans, Latino Americans,
Hispanic Americans, & African Americans.
◉ Jehovah's Witnesses Answer: Surgery is not prohibited, but the
administration of blood and blood products is forbidden. This religious
group believes the soul cannot live after death. Administration of

animals that are vegetable eaters, cloven-hoofed, and ritually
slaughtered.
,◉ Five categories of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM):
Answer: include whole medical systems, mind-body medicine,
biologically based practices, manipulative & body-based practices, &
energy medicine.
◉ Autocratic leader Answer: Focused, maintains strong control, makes
decisions, & addresses all problems. Dominates group & commands,
rather than seeks suggestions or input. Manager addresses problem
(quality improvement) with taff, designs a plan without input, & wants
all problems reported directly back to her
◉ Democratic leader Answer: Participative & would likely meet with
each staff person individually to determine staff member's perception of
problem. Would also speak with the staff about any issues & ask the
staff for input with developing a plan.
◉ Laissez-faire leader Answer: Passive and nondirective. Would state
what the problem was & inform staff that the staff needed to come up
with a plan to "fix it."
◉ Overhydration or fluid overload & occurs when fluid intake or fluid
retention Answer: Assessment findings include cough, dyspnea,
crackles, tachypnea, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, bounding
pulse, elevated CVP, weight gain, edema, neck & hand vein distention,
altered LOC, & decreased hematocrit.
,◉ Common food sources of potassium: Answer: Avocado, bananas,
cantaloupe, carrots, fish, mushrooms, oranges, potatoes, pork, beef, veal,
raisins, spinach, strawberries, & tomatoes
◉ Hyponatremia Answer: Muscle weakness, increased urinary output, &
decreased specific gravity of the urine would be noted
◉ Hypophosphatemia Answer: Causative factors relate to malnutrition
or starvation & the use of aluminum hydroxide-based or magnesium-
based antacids. Malnutrition is associated with alcoholism.
◉ Hyperphosphatemia Answer: Renal insufficiency,
hypoparathyroidism, & tumor lysis syndrome; causative factors. Should
avoid foods high in phosphates; fish, eggs, milk products, vegetables,
whole grains, & carbonated beverages.
◉ Causes of a fluid volume deficit Answer: Vomiting, diarrhea,
conditions that increased respiration's or increased urinary output,
insufficient intravenous fluid replacement, draining fistulas, presence of
ileostomy or colostomy. Diuretics, & gastrointestinal suctioning.
◉ Causes of overhydration or fluid overload: Answer: Decreased kidney
function, heart failure, hypotonic fluids to replace isotonic fluid losses,
excessive irrigation of wounds & body cavities, & excessive ingestion of
sodium.
, ◉ Hyperkalemia causes: Answer: Trauma, burns, sepsis, or metabolic or
respiratory acidosis.
◉ Hypokalemia causes: Answer: Cushing's syndrome or colitis & over
use of laxatives.
◉ Metabolic acidotic Answer: Decreased pH & decreased HCO3.
Occurs in kidney disease; diabetic ketoacidosis; high fat diet;
insufficient metabolism of carbohydrates; malnutrition; ingestion of
toxins, such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin); malnutrition; severe
diarrhea. Intestinal secretion high in bicarbonate & may be lost through
enteric drainage tubes, an ileostomy, or diarrhea.
◉ Metabolic alkalosis Answer: Nausea & vomiting. Loss of gastric acid,
cause pH & HCO3 to increase. Symptoms experienced would include
hypoventilation & tachycardia.
◉ Respiratory acidotic Answer: Decreased pH and an increased CO2.
Hypoventalation & COPD
◉ Respiratory alkalotic Answer: Increased pH & decreased CO2.
Hyperventalation, Lethargy, lightheadedness, confusion, tachycardia,
dysrhythmias related to hypokalemia, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain,
numbness & tingling of extremities. Hyperventilation (tachypnea)
occurs.
