Angiogram - Correct Answers--catheter through the femoral/axila artery into the renal artery
to see its function
anuria - Correct Answers-suppression or arrest if urine (obstruction)
Assessments of chest tubes - Correct Answers--tidaling in water seal noted with breathing
-no tidaling: lungs expanded or tubing kinked
-intermittent bubbling when it first starts is ok
-should not be excessive bubbling: indicate leaks
-may need to refill water chamber
black wound - Correct Answers--Presence of eschar (necrotic tissue)
-not ready to heal
-Must have eschar removed for healing to take place
Bladder capacity - Correct Answers--200ml: urgency to void
-300ml: uncomfortable feeling
bronchospasm - Correct Answers-a contraction of the smooth muscle in the walls of the
bronchi and bronchioles that tighten and squeeze the airway shut
BUN (blood urea nitrogen) - Correct Answers--filtration of urea nitrogen in the kidneys
care for peritoneal dialysis - Correct Answers-rapid exchange of dextrose to clean out
membrane and then antibiotic agents are added to the next exchanges
chest physiotherapy - Correct Answers--trandelenburg position
-tap lungs using a coping technique
-starting at the base of the lungs
-move up to loosen/move secretions
, clinical pathways (care mapping) - Correct Answers--tools used in case management of client
care
-mapped out day by day for admission to discharge
Combination color - Correct Answers--use most severe treatment
Common diagnostic tests to assess altered protective mechanisms - Correct Answers--CBC
(WBC, neutrophils)
-Pre-albumin: poor nutrition for short time and Albumin levels: poor nutrition for long period
-Glucose levels
-Radiology studies
Complications of altered protective mechanisms - Correct Answers--inflammation (edema,
heat and pain)
-infection (watch for fever, wound drainage, and swelling)
-hemorrhage (watch for distention, swelling, and obvious bleeding)
-fistula (abnormal passage between two organs)
-dehiscence (separation of wound edges)
-evisceration (internal organ protrusion)
Complications of peritoneal dialysis - Correct Answers--inflammation of the peritoneal
membrane
-leakage through the catheter site may occur immediately after its insertion and normally stops
if dialysis is held until the incision can heal
-bleeding common after the first exchanges of new catheter insertion
Components of SBAR - Correct Answers-A framework and a clinical pathway
